I Stopped Loving My Boyfriend Who Faked His Illness

"We don't need them anymore. Besides, these things can be bought again."

Henry and Serene would buy new ones once they got married.

After she was done throwing the box away, Tessa headed back upstairs. She heard Henry speaking in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Serene. I'll make sure she attends our engagement party."

Serene, on the other end of the call, sounded coquettish. "Hmph. I'd like to see the look on her face when she sees the man she has loved for two years become my fiancé. Doesn't she love the spotlight? I'll let her enjoy it as much as she wants on that day."

Tessa's nails dug into her palms. It took a long time for her to relax her hands. A forced smile appeared on her face. Too bad they were about to be disappointed because their plan was bound to fail.

Just as Tessa expected, Henry gave her an invitation card the moment she pushed the door open.

"There's an event seven days later that I'd like you to come with me, Tessa. You must come."

Tessa stared at him for a long time before she took the card from him. She said softly, "Alright."

Even if she could not attend his engagement party, she would remember to give them an engagement gift.

Henry had lied to her for two years. She had endured 108 punishments, and Tessa wanted to repay them with a memorable gift.

The next few days, Henry was always away from home with the excuse of work. Tessa used the opportunity to pack up her things.

On the second-to-last day before her departure, her university held a graduation party.

Even though Tessa moved out of the dorms very early at the start of her university days, she still had a close relationship with her roommates and classmates. She would be away from the country for at least two years, and she wanted to bid them proper goodbyes during their graduation party.

Tessa did not expect to see Serene and Henry at the party. Serene was holding onto Henry's arm with an innocent smile on her face.

"I gave your boyfriend a special day off to congratulate you at the university because I knew you were graduating today, Tessa."

Tessa knew that behind that beautiful, friendly face was a woman with cruel, malevolent intentions for her. She backed away slightly to distance herself from Serene.

Serene pretended not to notice this and came closer to Tessa.

Tessa did not know that a tower of champagne glasses stood on the table behind her.

A look flashed in Serene's eyes. She suddenly exclaimed loudly and lunged at Tessa.

Tessa instinctively moved back even more and ended up knocking into the tower of glasses. They came crashing down on the two women, spilling champagne everywhere.

Henry did not even think twice as he quickly pulled Serene into his arms to protect her.

Tessa fell heavily to the ground. Numerous shards of glass pierced her flesh. There was blood and champagne all over the ground. Her wound, which had yet to heal, was drenched in alcohol and started bleeding again.

Tessa's face became even paler than before. She watched as Henry carefully checked Serene for any wounds.

All of a sudden, she seemed to see that figure from two years ago. Her trembling hands, which were covered in blood, reached out. She wanted to grab the only moment of warmth she had experienced.

However, she was no longer able to, and her arm fell heavily to the ground.
