She had persisted living her life because of the baby in her belly. Now that the baby was gone, she had no hope left.

Looking at her helpless face, I was afraid that she would end her own life.

"Queenie, no one is worth you torturing yourself like this. Why don't you learn to love yourself?" I racked my brains to comfort her.

"After such a long time, have you ever thought about your parents? They raised you, but you abandoned them for a man. Have you ever thought about how sad they are? If they know the suffering you're going through now, how heartbroken would they be?

"Do you not want to live anymore? Do you want your parents to suffer losing you as well? Your baby is gone, but do you want your parents' baby to go too? Queenie Moore, you're a smart person. Why haven't you learned to see through things?

"If your mother heard that you're not doing well, do you think she would beat Flynn up and take you back home? Your parents are both civil servants, and the Hayes aren't people they can afford to mess with. "It's clear who will be on the losing end. Do you want them to lose their jobs and stable lives because of you?

"And that scumbag, why can't you let go of him? I know he loves you and you love him too. But love is supposed to be pure. Once it's mixed with personal interests, it's no longer precious. He may love you, bu what he loves more is his inheritance and social status.

"Otherwise, he wouldn't be marrying another woman and starting a family with her. That means you'll always be the second choice to him.

"Queenie, pull yourself together. What's gone is gone, but you still have a future. You're still in your early 20s. You have unlimited possibilities ahead. If you give up your life because of a scumbag, that'll just mean that you're useless.

"Do you remember what happened when Shawn came looking for me back then? You knew that you couldn't defeat him, but you were still brave enough to face him with me. Queenie, where did that courageous you go? Why have you become so cowardly, not even daring to face yourself?

"Silly girl, I miss the Queenie who was trembling with fear but still stood in front of me. Come back to me, will you? Without Flynn, you still have your parents, me, Julia, and even Andrew. We love you. "Queenie, I want to see that strong and brave Queenie Moore again."

She stayed quiet for a long, long time. Just as I thought she refused to speak, she opened her mouth. However, tears came before her words, making me feel sad and distressed.

"Lulu, I left home for him and gave him everything I had. He promised me that he would give me a home and make me the happiest woman in the world. But words are fragile. It has only been a few years, and the love I yearned for has changed beyond recognition.

"I understand what you said, I really do. But I just feel aggrieved."

At this point, she covered her eyes and cried again.

"I'm the only child in my family. My parents must be heartbroken. I regret hurting the people who love me the most just because I fell for a scumbag. Lulu, do you think I'm naive? Why am I so bad at judging people?

"My mom was right. I should've been patient. What do I know about eternity? How dare I talk about that! I regret it now, but I'm too ashamed to face them. I'm too embarrassed."

"What's the big deal? Would parents really be angry at their children forever?"

"Lulu, please don't tell them—at least not until I recover. Once I get my life back, I'll go back to see them. Promise me!" After removing the intravenous needle that day, we had lunch at the hospital before I sent Queenie home at around 2:00 pm.

For some reason, she had been silently shedding tears. It made me feel chaotic inside, and I wanted to hug her and cry together.
