I was bleeding out from the crash, and the trauma team phoned my fiancé twenty times to say I was in critical condition; he hung up on every single call. By some twist of fate, I survived. But the day I was finally discharged from the hospital, I just happened to see my fiancé, Samuel, supporting a gorgeous woman as they walked out of the maternity ward together. The woman bore a striking resemblance to me—and she was Samuel's first love. The woman looked frail and delicate. She said, "Samuel, you told Vivian you were going away on business for two weeks, but you were actually here with me, supporting me through my abortion. "To make sure you could take care of me, you even rejected her calls twenty times. If she finds out, she'll totally freak out. Won't this mess things up between you two?" Samuel gazed at her tenderly, completely unfazed. He said, "I saved Vivian's life. She's got no money, no skills—everything she has now is because of me. She's clingy, stuck to me like glue. She'll never leave. I'm sure she only called to check in about some random little thing. Whether I answered or not, it made no difference. "Right now, you're more important to me than anyone or anything." It was like getting struck by lightning—bitterness flooded my heart, leaving me completely numb. After six years of loving Samuel, I never imagined I was so insignificant in his eyes. Little did anyone know—I was actually the biggest investor in Samuel's company. Pushing through the pain, I managed to steady myself, turned away, and made a call. I said, "Dad, call off my engagement with Samuel. Pull out every cent we've invested in his company. From now on, we're finished—our lives are completely separate."
