Tonight, he had to have a good talk with her.
“Looks like you had no self–awareness at all. Wasn’t I clear
enough before?”
Terrence explained, “There was really nothing between Krista
and me. Seven years ago, I said I’d marry her because she lost.
her voice saving me in a big fire. She was worried no one would
marry her. I hadn’t thought about who I’d marry in the future,
so I just said I’d marry her. There was no blood relation between
us.”
Bethany’s pupils tightened. “The big fire seven years ago? She
saved you?”
“Yeah” Terrence kept talking, “Because of my grandparents, I
basically grew up with her. I don’t even know who started the
rumor that I was dating her. My grandpa’s side got really mad
and wanted to stop us. They threatened me, said if I dared to be
with her, they could make her disappear anytime, anywhere.
That’s when I found out they planned a fire.”
Bethany pressed her red lips together and stared at Terrence.
Terrence saw that she wasn’t refusing to listen like before, so he

kept talking about it.
“I got the news and rushed over right away. I couldn’t get
innocent people involved, so I ran into the fire to save her. I
didn’t find her inside. Later, when I woke up, I found out she
had something come up and was late. When she heard I was
inside, she risked her life to come save me. The thick smoke
messed up her throat.”
“She saved me, the McConnell family set her up like that, for her
safety and because she was worried, plus I was a bit moved at
the time, so I decided to marry her, but in the end she couldn’t
handle the pressure from both families and gave up?”
“So, just because she couldn’t talk anymore, you went and
married a mute woman, right?” Bethany suddenly let out a cold
laugh. “Terrence, did you ever ask her how those seven years
got you out? Do you even know how you ended up in there.
yourself?”
Terrence squinted a little, “So what you meant was…”
“Do you mean, did you ever check if it was really her who saved
you? Did you just hear it from others afterwards, or did she tell
you?”
Bethany was this suspicious of Krista, and Terrence still felt a
bit uncomfortable about it.

“If she hadn’t tried to save me, how would the smoke have hurt her throat? Beth, why did you never believe what I said?”
Until now, Terrence still trusted Krista that much.
His words, what else could she believe?
As long as it was something related to Krista, he didn’t need to
check it at all.
Seven years ago, the one who saved him was her.
She saw him rush into the fire and got really worried. She didn’t
care about anything else and followed him in. He got hurt by a
falling beam.
She was a kid from an ordinary family. When she was little, she
often helped her grandma with chores, so she was definitely
stronger than Krista.
Even so, she still couldn’t move the beam. She used the power of
a lever to shift the beam away.
Because I loved him and worried about him, I burst out with
great strength and dragged him out of the fire.
There were still faint scars in her palm from when it got cut and
bled.
If it was before, si
saved him.
Now, ha, she didn’t bother to tell him.
