The Eight-Year Lie： Shattered Vows and a Vengeful Heart - Chapter 14

After getting in the car, I gave the name of a hotel. Back at the hotel, I collapsed and slept until nine in the evening. My phone had almost been bombarded by calls from Xu Ge, and there were also calls from my leader and colleagues.

I replied to my leader’s message, then sent in a resignation letter. After handling my work, I started dealing with our house. The wedding house was in my name because Xu Ge said, “Just put it in your name, having you is enough for me.”

At that time, I was incredibly moved, feeling incredibly fortunate to have met Xu Ge. But what good was it now? He didn’t love me anymore!

I quickly contacted a real estate agent and listed the house at a low price.

After dealing with everything, my phone rang again. It was an unfamiliar local number. My intuition told me it was Xu Ge. I wanted to see him, but it wasn’t time yet.

I stayed at the hotel for three days, falling severely ill and running a high fever. I was discovered by the room service staff and rushed to the hospital. When I woke up, I felt as if my relationship with Xu Ge was a thing of a past life.

To pay the bills, I charged my dead phone. As soon as it turned on, countless missed calls and messages popped up. I opened a message from Mrs. Liang.

“Jiang Li, call me back as soon as you see this message.”

The message was already two days old. I called her back, and Mrs. Liang answered quickly, but her words left me stunned for a long time.

“Jiang Li, Xu Ge’s mother has passed away.”
