"I'll take Lam Nhiem home first, I'll come back to visit your mother later."

I raised my head, my face was wet with tears. Phong Dien, I don't have a mother anymore. What are you planning to visit? 5 There are only two floors, but I feel like I've been walking for a long, long time. Until I arrived in front of my mother's hospital bed. My legs were soft. I knelt down to the ground. The sound of sobbing echoed clearly in the eerie silence of the room.

"On Kieu, Lam Nhiem's legs can't walk for the time being. I'll stay here tonight to take care of her. Don't worry, I'll sleep on the sofa."

Listen to the voice message. I clicked on Phong Dien's profile picture. Select delete friend. I scrolled down, deleting Lam Nhiem as well. Completed the death certificate for mother. I brought her ashes home. Quietly pack up your things. My luggage was very small, I didn't bring anything that wasn't necessary, and I left the proposal ring on the nightstand. Wait for dawn. I left the key on the shoe cabinet at the entrance. Pull your suitcase and fly to Beijing. I did not cancel my mother's ticket. Which carries her ashes with her. Let's go to the place we always wanted to go together. I rented a small room near the center of Beijing. Submit a resume. Even though I haven't worked for a year, my design works are not out of date. So I quickly successfully interviewed and accepted the job. Phong Dien returned home the next day. Today is his day off. On the way home, he conveniently bought a bouquet of gardenia flowers. It was the flower he gave me when he first confessed his love. I've always enjoyed it. When he got home, it was quiet inside. Phong Dien saw a bunch of keys on the cabinet. Suddenly I panicked. He haphazardly threw the bouquet of flowers on the dining table. Quickly walked into the bedroom, but there was no one in the room. He called me many times. The other end of the line only heard a mechanical female switchboard voice. I didn't block his number, it's just that no one answered his phone. I intentionally did not put it on the blacklist. I wanted him to taste what I had experienced. A phone call that never goes through. How crazy will it make people? Phong Dien opened the wardrobe and discovered that two or three of the clothes I usually wear were all gone. My beige suitcase was also nowhere to be found. He collapsed and sat down on the bed. Eyes staring at the proposal ring on the dresser. That ring he had custom-made with the first year-end bonus he received was my favorite design. At that time, he wished he could bring the world to me. He once thought that no girl would be stupid enough to not care about her life and block the knife of a patient's family who came to cause trouble for him. That day, while I was taking care of my mother at the hospital, I heard a loud argument. Just run out and see. As a result, the patient's family members were rioting. That guy held a knife and rushed straight at Phong Dien, intending to stab him. It was I who jumped in front of him. Even though that knife only slashed my shoulder. But he still remembers the feeling when he picked me up and rushed to the medical room. Panic, mind blank. He used to think that if anything happened to me, he wouldn't be able to live. At that time, I even laughed and teased him:

"I'm not dead, it's just a little shoulder pain, look how you're crying."

He cried and hugged Tightly hug my skinny body.

“In the future, don't take the hit for me anymore, okay?”

I smiled extremely brightly.

“Okay.”

But not long after, Lam Nhiem transferred to his department. He saw Lam Nhiem shine brightly at work. So I couldn't help but compare the two. Gradually, he didn't want to hear my voice anymore. You should definitely switch your phone to silent mode.
