- 24.
Then he found my diary in the drawer.
Opening it, seeing his name on every page,
Shane broke down again.
Because I wrote in my diary: “Shane, we’ll be
together forever.”
“Shane, you promised me, you’d love me
forever.”
“Shane, how could you have another woman
behind my back?”
“Shane, will you only be happy when I’m
dead?”
Those were questions that once troubled me,
but now I know the answer.
Thanks to Shane’s care, Grandma was very
happy.
I continued to stay by her side, watching this
lovely little old lady.
One day, Grandma grabbed Shane’s hand,
staring at him and saying, “Holly had a
daughter for you.”
She took out an ultrasound image from a box.
Shane froze, trembling, his voice hoarse, “We
have a daughter? Grandma, where is she
now?”
No matter how much he asked, Grandma
didn’t know.
And at that moment, my head buzzed.
I remembered the most important person I’d
forgotten, besides Grandma, our daughter.
On his birthday, besides the gift, I was going
to tell him I was pregnant.
But the next day, we broke up.
I didn’t want to keep the baby, but thinking of
the little life. I gritted my teeth and gave birth.
Who knew, the baby was only a few months
old when this happened.
After I died, Grandma fell ill. An elderly
woman with a baby, ill, couldn’t raise her.
The community decided to send the baby to
an orphanage.
I lost those memories, including which
orphanage the baby went to.
Then, I saw Xu Mei imprisoned, sentenced to
life without parole.
I knew it was the best Shane could do.
Making sure Xu Mei wouldn’t die, but couldn’t
get out either.
I also saw Shane reburial my body; the
tombstone read ‘My Wife, Holly‘.
