Left At The Altar, I Started My Funeral Preparations

Synopsis

At our engagement party, my fiancé Jacob Conley's phone rang. He shot to his feet in a panic, eyes flicking to me with mixed emotions. "Silvia is in Vetraland watching the aurora. There was an avalanche. I have to go save her." All the guests in the room were stunned. I traced the custom diamond ring he'd slipped onto my finger just minutes ago, right after promising he'd only ever love me. My heart gradually cooled. Almost as if I had already expected this, I said, "Go on then." He squeezed my hand hard. "Lucia, wait for me. I'll make it up to you when I'm back." And then he ran without looking back. I watched his figure disappear, my fingers tightening around the medical report in my pocket. There won't be a next time for him.
