She paused for a moment.
Then she looked up at Jacob, "I really don't get it, did you ever love me? Why are you suddenly so cold to me?"
The guy on the bed, didn't say a word.
Erica felt like deflated.
"Also, when Shawn's girlfriend stepped on the back of my hand with her high heels, it hurt like hell. Your female friends always isolate me, I could live with that, but one year you gave me this pretty skirt, I loved it, cherished it...I finally wore it out once, and they splashed nail polish all over it. You have no idea how upset I was, I couldn’t get over with it for a long time.
"Another time, you were right there, I was pushed into the pool, it was freezing cold, and you just watched me in the water...Jacob, you don't know how upset I was, I thought so many times that this was the last time I would ever like you, I wouldn't like you anymore! But I ended up staying beside you for many more years. If you really have no will to live, then go and avenge me!" Erica continued, "The reason we broke up, is these disappointments piling up!"
Erica said a lot, but she never mentioned getting back together with Jacob.
Seeing that the visiting time was almost over.
Erica's lips trembled, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Jacob, I can't promise that we can mend things between us," Erica's voice choked, "But I also don't want you to leave, can you listen to me for once, pull yourself together, stay alive... okay?"
Jacob still didn't respond.
Visiting time was over.
At the nurse's signal, Erica stood up and slowly left.
But she didn't know that as soon as she left, tears fell from Jacob's eyes.
As she spoke, Erica even lifted her hand to show Lenora the diamond ring on her finger.
Lenora ignored this and smiled, "My dear, I know you married Larkin out of anger. Now no one will stop you and Jacob from being together, you can divorce Larkin and then marry Jacob! I will prepare an even grander wedding for you, and you will proudly become a member of the Strand family!"
Erica was shocked and incredulous, "Mrs. Strand, you misunderstand, I didn't marry out of anger. Larkin is the husband I carefully chose, I won’t leave him, my feelings for Jacob are over."
Lenora panicked, "Erica, are you still mad at me? I can apologize to you, please don't give up on Jacob, I beg you!"
As she spoke, Lenora was about to kneel.
"What are you doing?"
