Silvia did not know how many cans of beer she drank from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m., but she never got drunk. In fact, the more she drank, the more sober she felt.
Their past flashed in her mind like black-and-white movies, and pain spread throughout her body. She could not stop it.
Suddenly, her phone rang.
Dulcie had sent her a photo of a billboard at a bus stop in Ryoln City. There was only one sentence on it.
[Silvia Pond, will you marry me?]
[Sil, Neil booked all the billboards in Ryoln City to propose to you. Many people have been asking me if youâve said yes!] Dulcie said.
When Silvia saw the photo, tears slowly filled her eyes.
Then, there was one drop...
Two drops...
Her tears kept falling on the screen. Silvia reached out to wipe her tears, but the more she wiped them away, the more she cried.
In the end, she just threw her phone aside and allowed herself to keep crying.
Silvia did not go to work or leave the mansion in Elm Bay for three whole days.
She opened the door on the fourth morning and saw Neil standing there.
He had a stubble on his chin and huge eye bags. His unkempt look proved that he was not having a good time either.
âSil, Iâve been doing some reflecting these past few days. I was wrong about Chris, and I donât want to break up with you.â
Silvia ignored him as she started her car and drove away. Neil did not try to stop her. He just watched as her car slowly disappeared into the distance.
Once she no longer saw him in the rear-view mirror, she felt annoyed.
She was sure that she wanted to break up with him, but her love for him had been genuine. Therefore, it would be impossible for her to just disappear without a trace following a split.
Even though it was hard, she did not want things to go back to the way they were.
When Silvia arrived at MY Corporation, Dulcie rushed over after she received the news.
âSil, why havenât you been at work in the past few days? Have you and Neil broken up?â
Silvia nodded and spoke indifferently, âDonât mention him in front of me again.â
Dulcie frowned. âWhat happened? Didnât he propose to you? Did he cheat on you?â
Silvia pursed her lips. âNo. We just werenât a good fit, so we broke up.â
Realizing that Silvia was in a bad mood, Dulcie stopped probing. âDo you have time after work tonight? Letâs grab a drink!â she said.
âNo. I want to visit Chris tonight.â
âIâll go with you. Iâve been too busy the past few days, so I havenât been able to visit him.â
âOkay.â
After work that night, Silvia took Dulcieâs car, and they headed to the hospital.
Chris had regained consciousness, and Katherine had also told him about Silviaâs knowledge of the truth. He even saw the proposal that Neil had prepared for Silvia, but he did not know if she accepted it or not.
However, Silvia loved him very much, so she must have said yes.
When Chris saw Silvia and Dulcie walking into the ward together, he was taken aback.
Dulcie placed some fruits on the bedside table and smiled. âChris, I heard that you had surgery, so Sil and I came to visit you.â
He immediately schooled his expression before he smiled and said, âThank you.â
It did not look like Dulcie knew that Silvia had performed the surgery for him.
When he first found out, he was shocked, but he quickly calmed down. In his eyes, Silvia had always been outstanding, so it was only natural that he did not know a lot of things about her.
âWhy are you thanking us? I wanted to visit you a few days ago, but I got too busy with work. Since Sil was coming over tonight, I tagged along.â
Chris smiled faintly. âIf youâre too busy with work, you donât go out of your way to visit me.â

âIâm much better now. Do you and Mr. Remus have some good news to share?â he naturally asked.
