Chapter 3 — Eight Years Is Not Equal to One Betrayal

I thought he was more or less in control, but he stood up straight and went straight to the bedroom. The sound of drawers being pulled was heard clearly. A moment later, he walked out holding the ring box and opened the lid. Take out the women's ring and give it to To Tri Yeu.

“Just put it on to comfort the elderly.”

I looked at him blankly, unable to say a word. To Tri Yeu quickly shook her head to refuse: "No, this is Van Tinh's ring." Luc Nghien Tu didn't look at me at all, his voice was gentle: "Let Miss To calm down first." He personally put the ring on To Tri Yeu's slender ring finger. The size was a bit large, the ring hung loosely on the finger. She forced a smile in front of the camera, smiling but tears kept falling.

“Mom, look, we're really married.”

The old lady finally vented her feelings and smiled contentedly. Luc Nghien Tu also breathed a sigh of relief. I suddenly stood up, the sound of the chair rubbing against the floor made a deafening sound. Luc Nghien Tu turned to look at me: "Van Tinh, where are you going?" I walked into the master bedroom, opened the closet and packed my things. Luc Nghien Tu followed behind and closed the door.

“Don't be so excited, Miss To doesn't have much time left, I can't stimulate the patient at this time.”

“So I can stimulate you at will?”

"I'm healthy and have no illnesses, so do I have to compare myself with someone who is about to die?"

I looked up at him. The words fell, the air in the room instantly dropped to freezing point. Luc Nghien Tu also realized that he had said something harsh and raised his hand to hug me: "Van Tinh, I didn't mean that, it's just that I've been working so hard these past few days that my body and mind are tired." I dodged, his hand froze in mid-air. Outside the door, To Tri Yeu's cautious knocking sounded: "Nien Tu, you're calling, it seems like you're asking about the engagement table." Luc Nghien Tu's eyebrows furrowed tighter, she turned on the speakerphone, and Luc's mother's voice clearly came through.

"Nien Tu, what exactly are you and Van Tinh doing? The hotel is urging you to pay the remaining amount, your father's office colleagues have already informed you, don't let it become a joke by then."

Luc Nghien Tu glanced quickly at me: "Mom, I'm afraid the engagement party will have to be postponed."

“Why?”

He was silent. To Tri Yeu stood at the door, her face pale. Luc Nghien Tu finally spoke: "Van Tinh has been in a bad mood lately, so the registration had to be postponed." The clothes I was holding in my hands fell to the floor. Luc's mother immediately raised her voice: "Why is Van Tinh so childish? Eight years of love has come to an end, why are you still angry? You're busy with work, she's just an elementary school teacher, she has plenty of time, can't you sympathize with her a little more?" I quietly looked at Luc Nghien Tu, he didn't say a word to explain, he never said a word for me, "It's not her fault". The call ended, To Tri Yeu looked at me with red eyes: "Miss Van Tinh, I'm sorry, did I misunderstand you? Let me explain to you clearly." Luc Nghien Tu raised his hand to stop her: "Don't cause any more trouble." I smiled sadly, my heart turned cold. It turns out that every mistake was because I was causing more trouble. 4 That night I finally couldn't leave. To Tri Yeu suddenly had a high fever in the middle of the night, Luc Nghien Tu rushed her to the hospital for intravenous fluids. Before going out the door, he advised me: "Van Tinh, you just stay home and rest, I'll take her for an infusion and will return immediately." I stood in the living room, reminding him word by word: "Luc Nghien Tu, today was supposed to be the day we registered our marriage." He helped To Tri Yeu who was weak, his steps stopped: "I know."

"You clearly knew, yet you left me alone here?"
