Amy did not expect to see Richard here. Richard pulled her out while she was confused. Then Amy shook off his hand when she figured out what was going on.

If her tongue did not get hurt, she would have cursed him. It was none of his business. Why did he stop her from doing anything?

"What's wrong?" Richard was shocked when Amy suddenly shook off his hand.

"I can walk on my own!" As Amy spoke word by word, she tied her hair up and walked in front of Richard angrily.

Richard followed Amy out of the theater. He had completely forgotten about Allison.

"Why are you following me?" Amy's face darkened as she glared at Richard with watery eyes.

"I..." Richard didn't know why he followed Amy. He just wanted to hide her up when she appeared in public in skimpy clothes.

"Goodbye. Suit yourself." Amy made a gesture. She had difficulty speaking, and didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Richard.

"Wait, you haven't had dinner. Let me take you to dine." Richard looked at his watch. Dancers didn't eat before a performance. Amy must be very hungry now, so Richard wanted to take her to dinner. Amy waved her hand. She tried her best not to spend time with Richard. She was afraid that she would fall in love with him.

"Richard, what are you doing out here? Amy?" Allison went out after Amy and Richard. Allison had waited a long time, but Richard didn't return. So she went backstage to look for him. However, staff there told her that they did see Richard, but he left with a ballerina.

Allison got furious. Amy was so shameless that she did ballet to seduce Richard.

So Allison went out to them and saw them standing at the door, in a stalemate.

"Allison? Why did you come out?" Richard saw Allison and remembered that she was waiting for him.

"You didn't come back, so I came out to look for you. Amy, you're here, too. What a coincidence! I just saw a ballerina, and she really looks like you." Allison walked over. She did not hold Richard, but acted like she was intimate with Amy.

Amy glanced at Allison. Allison was good at playing innocent in front of Richard. Amy wondered when Richard would know Allison's true face.

"Yeah, that's me!" Amy said.

"Oh, you're amazing. It's a pity that you didn't keep dancing. I know a great foreign dance teacher. You will become a prize-winning dancer if you take his class." Allison held Amy's hand and said to her. "Thanks, but I don't need that." Amy turned around and left.

Allison looked at Amy with a surprised look. Then a trace of complacency flashed in her eyes.

"Richard, did I say something wrong? Is Amy angry at me?" Allison looked aggrieved, and her tears welled up.

Richard sighed. He had never been so speechless in his whole life.

"Perhaps not everyone wants to make a name for themselves. Let's go. Amy has her own plan for life. But I know you mean well." Richard stared at Amy's back. Now he decided to tell Allison that he was married and that she should no longer have any feelings for him.

"Richard, I'm really worried that you would abandon me. I want to tell you something. Let's grab some food, and I'll tell you everything," Allison said softly. There were tears in her eyes, and it broke Richard's heart.

Richard nodded. He also had something to tell Allison.

"Richard, do you know why I gave upon dancing and came back for you?" Allison said as she drank the milk tea.

Richard was really curious why Allison suddenly came back.

"Why?" Richard looked at Allison. He had known her since he was a little kid. She went dancing every day, regardless of the weather conditions. She was so cute when she danced. Richard had liked Allison very much.

As time passed, they all grew up. With their friends' encouragement, they started dating as a matter of course.

But for so many years, Richard had never felt jealous or worried because of Allison. Perhaps it was because Allison had been good and never caused him any trouble.

"Richard, do you remember? When we were seventeen, a car raced toward you and I pushed you away and got hit. There wasn't anything wrong at that time. However, when I danced for a long time later, my legs hurt. I got examined in hospital. They told me that there was a crack in my bone, but nobody noticed it back then. Here is my examination report from that hospital." Allison took out the report from her bag and handed it to Richard.

"I haven't contacted you all these years, because I went abroad for treatment. I could never do ballet again. I cried a lot. I was crazy, and I even thought of killing myself. But I remembered that you promised me. You said you would wait for me. So I came back to look for you." After saying that, Allison burst into tears.

Richard recalled the incident when he was 17 years old. Allison wanted to save him and got hit by a car. But he remembered that the car was slowing down. Allison only had a few bruises from the car. She didn't have any internal injuries according to the examination results from the hospital.

He didn't expect that it left a crack on her bone.

Richard looked at the report. It said that Allison had a bone fracture and received treatment two years ago.

The last words were in the big bold font, which said that Allison could not do strenuous exercises anymore.

Richard realized that he ruined Allison's life. She loved dancing so much, but she had to give up. And his promise became the only thing that supported her to live on.

Richard had decided to tell Allison that he was married, but now he couldn't say it anymore.

Allison was crying hard, and Richard handed her a napkin.

"I'm sorry. If I knew that the car accident would hurt you so much, I would have chosen to get hit myself. Allison, I'm so sorry to hear that." Richard felt bad for Allison. "Richard, don't say that. I don't need your apology. I don't want anything else. I just want you to love me like always." Allison wiped away her tears and stared at Richard.0000
