"I had a car accident that night, actually, I was planning to propose to her, but we had a little spat that night..."
"It was my fault, really. I saw her working at the restaurant, talking and laughing with a guy from our class, and I got jealous."
"I lost my cool and said some harsh things to her. She got mad, turned around and ran off into the rain..."
"It was pouring cats and dogs, I wanted to carry her on my back, but she refused. I didn't dare to insist, just silently followed her."
"You may not know, but what she hates the most is when I choose to stay silent during a fight."
"She ran off because I didn't say anything, then... she got hit by that out-of-control car..."
As Garett said this, he paused, the smile on his face gradually fading.
"What I'm trying to tell you is, don't hurt her out of jealousy, and don't stay silent when there's conflict."
"I don't know why you two broke up, but I bet it's pretty similar to what happened between us."
Back then, both he and Bernard were stubborn and possessive.
Only those who have lost know what love really is...
Bernard kept quiet, his eyes slightly trembling.
If Garett hadn't had that car accident, Bernard wouldn't have had a chance with Eleanor...
Garett glanced at the diamond ring in his hand, a bit reluctant, but he hardened his heart and handed it to Bernard.
"This should be your wedding."
Out of love, Bernard chose to let go.
Garett now understood that true love is about letting the person he loved be happy.
A look of shock appeared in Bernard's eyes.
He didn't expect him to make this decision at this time.
But he just glanced at the ring.
That was the sound of sulfuric acid corroding skin.
Garett's heart raced, and his face turned pale instantly.
What appeared in front of him was Eleanor in her white wedding dress...
Without hesitation, she used her own back to shield Bernard...
The intense burning sensation made Eleanor kneel down in pain, her hands supporting herself on the wet ground.
The heavy rain was pouring down, as if intentionally against her, hitting her back, making her shiver with pain.
Bernard turned around, and what he saw was Eleanor, kneeling on the ground, her back skin corroded black by the sulfuric acid...
Her body was so painful that she curled up into a ball, kneeling on the ground, unable to move, her face and lips had turned pale.
However, her trembling eyelashes lifted slightly, she forced herself to look up, and with a faint smile, she said to him, "My back is ruined, isn't it..."
