There was a diamond ring in the box.
There was a huge diamond embedded in the ring. Although I didn’t know very much about diamonds,
this one was bigger than the one I had seen in the jewelry store several times before.
It was surrounded by a circle of broken diamonds and looked very big.
“It’s too expensive.”
I subconsciously wanted my hand back from Ming.
I didn’t know much about diamonds, but this one was so big, and even if I looked at it against the light
in the office, it was brilliant. It must be top grade.
Such a valuable diamond, I...
It may not be that the diamond is precious, but that the diamond came from Ming.
His big hand clenched mine. He ignored my resistance. He put the box on the table and took the ring
out of the box. He compared it to my ring finger but didn’t put it on me.
I was very resistant.
He looked down at my hand. I couldn’t see his expression. I only heard him say, “now Lester has
developed resistance. My suggestion is that you and I register for marriage tomorrow. I’ll start treating
Lester.”
His voice was gentle, but it was like a knife that cut off the little hope in my heart.
I bit my lips.
I didn’t want my sadness to be too obvious. After a while, I looked up at Ming and smiled at him and
said, “I see, Ming.”
Ming.
This name represented my determination.
Ming’s eyes were clear. He looked at me tenderly.
He was mature and thoughtful and cared for me. If I married him, I would be very happy.
I told myself.
But I was sorry.
But I have no other way.
Ming put the ring on my hand.
It was big and heavy.
He took my left hand with his right hand and said, “I prepared this ring for you a long time ago. Today I
finally put it on you.”
He looked at my hand carefully and continued, “it’s just the right size.”
“Thank you.”
I looked down at that huge heart-shaped ring but I was not happy.
Ming looked at his watch. “I’ll pick you up at your house at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, OK?”
“OK.” I nodded. In order not to expose my true feelings to Ming’s eyes, I immediately said, “I have to
go. Lester still has a fever.”
“Do you want me to drive you?”
“No.”
I walked out of his office.
I was afraid that he would catch up with me, so I didn’t look back and ran out of the administration
building.
When I got back in the car, I felt extremely sad. I held the steering wheel with both hands and my heart
hurt.
I took out my cell phone and called Sean.
“Hello, the phone you dialed has been turned off, please redial later...”
This was it again!
This was it again!
When would he answer the phone?
I stared at his name and smiled, “Sean, I’m going to marry another man, but you’re still hiding from me.
At first you were afraid that you could not recover, so you hid from me, but if you recover and come
back, I have become someone else’s wife. How would you feel?”
The system tone was still repeating.
My heart hurt so much.
I looked at the phone screen and sat until it was dark outside.
But as soon as I saw this ring on my hand, I was so upset!
I was getting married tomorrow.
I was going to be someone else’s wife tomorrow.
If Ming was a normal person, I could marry him and divorced him after Lester recovers.
But he was Ming.
I knew that if we got married and he healed Lester, he had other ways to control me.
Now he may be a psychopath.
He just wanted to compete with Sean.
I drove around the street. At night, the surrounding shops were closed and the streets were empty.
Only a few street lights illuminated the black asphalt road.
I went to the most prosperous street.
Even the most prosperous part of York was very cold at night. There were only a few lights on in the tall
office buildings.
Some people were working overtime.
I drove to the door of the Giant group.
I got off and got to the door.
The door was closed. I wanted to go in, but a security guard said, “we’re off work.”
I looked up. Only the light in the security room was on. The whole building was black.
It seemed that the Giant group treated its employees well. No one worked overtime.
I didn’t know why I was here. I hesitated and turned away.
I went back to the car and drove on.
I finally found a lively place.
There were many luxury cars on both sides of the road. There were young men and women talking at
the door and a few vomiting by the tree.
Alcohol.
I wanted to drink.
Maybe if I was drunk, I would feel better tonight.
A beautiful green sports car left, so I parked in that position.
I got out of the car with my cell phone and went into the bar.
As soon as I entered the corridor, someone whistled at me.
I ignored him and went straight to the hall and sat on the bar.
The bartender immediately approached me and asked, “what would you like to drink, madam?”
“I want...” I looked at the wine behind him and didn’t know what I was going to drink.
I didn’t know much about drinking.
I thought of a lot of wine. I thought of Daisy saying that there was a kind of liquor called Gin.
I said to the bartender, “I want Gin!”
“Gin? Do you need anything else?”
“No.”
I waved.
I’d better get drunk.
Soon the bartender pushed a glass in front of me. I saw a lot of ice in the cup and very little wine. I
didn’t think of anything and drank it all!
When I finished drinking, I frowned.
It was spicy and bitter!
Why was it so awful?
The bartender asked me, “madam, Gin will taste better with some tonic water.”
“OK.”
I didn’t know anything but I nodded.
