Chapter 14

As expected, after reading the letter, Mariaburst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

"Annie Brown, you bastard！You promised me that you would come to me whenever you were unhappy. Why didn't you come to me? You're my best friend! We promised to be with each other for the rest of our lives, but I didn't even get to see you one last time!"

I wanted to hug Mariaso badly, but I couldn't.

"Silly Xiao Yu, I told you I wanted to leave with a little dignity," I whispered.

"Annie Brown! Annie Brown! You're lying to me..."

William Green had arrived.

He looked like he had lost his soul.

How had he found out?

Mariablocked him at the door. He looked so heartbroken.

What was this all about?

A sudden realization? Regret for what he had done?

But love that came too late was cheaper than grass...

William Green fell to his knees outside the door, wailing: "Please, let me see her one last time, Annie Brown..."

Mariawas so angry that she shouted at him through the door: "William Green, you bastard! Annie Brown didn't want to see you even when she was dying! She said she would never forgive you, and she wished she had never met you!"

"That's not true! That can't be true..."

Mariaopened the door. I knew she wouldn't let William off easily.

When William saw the door open, he stood up and tried to rush inside.

But Mariastepped forward and slapped him hard across the face. It was so satisfying to watch.

Way to go, my friend!

"Do you want to make sure Annie Brown can't even rest in peace? She had esophageal cancer, did you know that? Where were you when she was suffering so much? You were her husband, and you didn't even know she had cancer! Did you ever really care about her? Did you ever really love her? William Green, you cheated on her, you hurt her, you disgusted her! What right do you have to come see her now?"

Mariashouted all this in one breath.

William Green froze on the spot.

That's right. From the day I was diagnosed with cancer to my final days, an entire year had passed.

But William Green had never noticed.

The only time he had said anything was once, when he had commented: "You've gotten so skinny lately."

And then he had never asked about it again.

When I thought about this marriage, I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.

William Green stood there in a daze for a long time, then suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.

"How could this happen? How could this be..."

"William Green, Annie Brown said she didn't want to see you again. Are you really going to go against her final wish?"

William Green fell to his knees, sobbing uncontrollably.

Anyone who didn't know the truth would have thought he had loved me more than anything.

But just before I died, he had still been disgusting me.

"William Green, why didn't you die instead of her? And why didn't that mistress of yours die too? Sophia White, right? If I, Emily Wilson, can't make you two pay for this, I'll take your last name!" Mariasaid through gritted teeth.

I knew Mariaalways kept her promises, but Sophia White wasn't even worth the trouble.

Mariamust have gotten more and more annoyed. She kicked William Green in disgust: "Why don't you just die? Why did it have to be Annie Brown who died, and not you and your mistress?"

William Green knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.

Mariahad someone drag him away.

Was he sorry? I didn't care anymore.

William Green and I, the world and I—we were finally saying goodbye forever...

The only thing that made me sad was leaving Maria behind.

I hoped the money I had left her would make her a little happier.
