I turned off the phone, covered myself with a blanket, and went to sleep.
Without answering the phone, I could imagine how my mother would scold me.
As for how Barry would scold me, I didn’t want to think about it.
Back then, providing aid to Alsatan was our common dream.
However, as the new vice president, he had a lot of things to do, so I set out with our dreams in mind.
He held the ring and promised me that he would marry me when I returned.
But as the day finally came, he wanted to marry someone else.
I dared not consider whether he had
already intended to break up with me while trying his best to let me go abroad.

Or he just hoped I could fulfill our dream. in glory.
I was lost in my thoughts and felt confused.
It looked like the love we had in the past ten years was a dream for me.
After the plane landed, I had to go to where I was really needed.
Steve, the captain of the medical team, and other colleagues who continued to assist Alsatan came forward to greet me.
“Mia, welcome back!”
Wearing white coats, they were holding banners and flowers. Each of them gave me a big hug.
The people from the medical team were as famous as celebrities in this country.
Many people came around and bowed to us to express their gratitude.
As I was back at the station, the familiar
children ran and told each other with

laughter.
The feeling of being needed and loved cheered me up.
As humans, they couldn’t be heartless.
The children of the country were grateful for my help, but my real family treated me like their mortal enemy.
1 had no idea when tears started to fill my face. Steve put his arm around my shoulders and kindly recalled the past.
“Mia, there is something terrible in the world, but some people are trying to make it better. Everything we experience has its own meaning.”
Grace, the nurse who went abroad with me, stuffed candy into my mouth unexpectedly.
“Mia, those bastards should face consequences, and your life will be sweet.”
Once upon a time, Grace was extremely envious of the sincere love between Barry and me that lasted for ten years.

At that time, she blinked her eyes and lay beside me, fantasizing about her prince charming.
Unfortunately, my failure shattered her most beautiful fantasy of love.
The next moment, Grace brought out a dessert to make me happy.
“Mia, love will only affect your success. We can be the most wonderful doctors and be admired by everyone.”
The rest of the people also took out the gifts they had carefully prepared to coax
- me.
From the moment I witnessed Barry propose to Neil until now, I was trying my best to control my emotions.
Faced with their earnest care, I couldn’t force myself to be strong but let all the grievances rush out.
After my father passed away, it was Barry who accompanied me through the roughest

times.
As my mother was lying in the hospital and angrily asking why I was not the one who died, Barry was there to accompany me and share the scolding, attentively serving my mother food and drink.
As Neil spent my money while working against me, it was still Barry who
accompanied me to deal with the trouble she caused.
While going abroad, I said to Barry, “These two years will be our test. If one day you no longer love me, just break up with me. I will bless you.”
At that time, he seemed to be parting with me forever, holding me and crying like a fool.
“Mia, I only love you. You can pursue your dreams, and I will help you take care of your family and wait for you to return in glory and marry me!”
It was still fresh in my mind, but the

person who made the oath had changed his mind.
I thought that after returning from my aid mission to Alsatan, I would live a new life.
Yet, he turned away from me and started a new life with Neil.
After a good cry, I felt that the resentment harbored in my heart was tolerable.
Also, I didn’t feel as heart–wrenching as
before.
Steve took us to the largest restaurant in the area, and we had a great time together, toasting to celebrate my leaving that bastard.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, there was a sudden power outage.
As I exclaimed, the warm candlelight appeared, and the song Happy Birthday was heard.
It was not until the moment that I
remembered that today was my birthday.

I was touched by them, feeling lucky.
When the party ended, it was already early morning in the country I had just left.
I finally turned on my phone only while lying in bed.
At this point, Barry should be holding his beloved wife in his arms, spending a night of love with her.
After I turned on the phone, there were hundreds of missed calls Barry had made
to me.
This time, he called me more often than during our two years of a long–distance relationship.
Information from WhatsApp and text messages kept popping up at the first
moment.
My mother couldn’t get through, so she sent countless voice messages.
I couldn’t stand it, but Barry called again when I was about to turn off my phone.

“Mia, you finally answered the phone…
“Where have you been? I called you but you didn’t answer, and you didn’t reply to my messages. We all thought something happened to you and almost called the police.
“Why are you disappearing on our wedding day? You’re almost 30, and what are you doing?”
