Betrayed by Fiancé and Best Friend, My Childhood Sweetheart Came to My Rescue
My father had a sudden heart attack and was rushed to the hospital.
The doctor said that if he didn't have the surgery immediately, he would surely die.
I knelt on the ground and begged my fiancé, Goden, to help pay for the surgery.
But he asked me to sign an agreement to terminate our engagement first.
My best friend, Aya, appeared in front of me and said with a sneer, "Do you think about why your family went bankrupt and why your father had a heart attack?"
"If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for stealing my man."
I was in great pain and despair, but there was nothing I could do.
With all my bank cards frozen, I had no choice but to beg him.
Just when I was in utter despair, my childhood sweetheart, Nicola, suddenly showed up and pulled me up. "Emelia, don't beg him. He doesn't deserve it."

"That's when I found out that he had a heart attack."
"How could this be?" I couldn't believe it. My dad had always been so healthy. How could he suddenly have a heart attack?
"Recently, did something happen? How could dad suddenly have a heart attack?"
"Maybe..." Goden hesitated.
"Maybe what?" I looked at Goden in surprise.
Goden remained silent, his face showing hesitation.
I couldn't help but shake him. "Come on, tell me! Maybe what?"
"Maybe... because he went bankrupt and didn't dare to tell you," he finally said.
Just then, a clear voice came from behind me.
The clicking sound of high - heeled shoes echoed in the quiet corridor.
I turned around and saw it was Aya, my best friend who had repeatedly been "busy" and couldn't accompany me to look at bridesmaid dresses.
At this moment, she was exquisitely dressed, with slightly red - dyed hair, bright red nails, and eyelashes so long that they seemed like they could stab someone. Her lipstick was a vivid shade of red, so red that it looked like a lantern.
"You..." Looking at Aya's appearance, I seemed to understand something.
She had never dressed so flamboyantly before.
Once, she was like an ugly duckling following me around. My dad was a well - known entrepreneur, while her family couldn't even afford a house.
But I had never looked down on her. Whenever I had something delicious or fun, I would always take her along.
In the past, she dressed simply. Even when I bought her a whole set of cosmetics, she only did light everyday makeup.
This was the first time I saw her like this.
Once, I joked with her, "Aya, when I get married, I must dress you up beautifully, make you shine so brightly that everyone will realize what a beauty they've overlooked."
At that time, Aya blushed and said, "Oh, Elena, it's enough that you're beautiful."
I never thought that the first time I saw Aya with heavy makeup would be outside my father's hospital room.
"What did you say?" I furrowed my brows and looked at Aya.
"I said, my father's company went bankrupt!" Aya enunciated each word slowly, her eyes full of a haughty gleam.
I looked at the Aya in front of me as if she were a complete stranger. Her face was so familiar, yet the whole aura she exuded was so foreign.
"You..." I wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
The scene froze for a moment.
Just then, the door of the emergency room opened, and the doctor came out.
Seeing the doctor, I ignored Aya and rushed forward immediately.
"Doctor, how's my dad?"
The doctor sighed. "He needs surgery as soon as possible. Without it, it will be very difficult for him to survive the day."
