The Heart that Loved Him For Eight Years Turned to Ashes

On the way of spring outing, the car broke down on the winding mountain road.

I had sprained my ankle, but Charles Smith left me alone in the mountains and accompanied his childhood sweet heart to find help.

I got lost in the misty mountains and almost fell off the cliff.

The next day, the villagers who went into deep mountains to find herbal medicine found me, who was on the verge of death, but Charles didn't get back to save me until then.

When I woke up, I saw his childhood sweetheart showing off their affection on her Instagram.

"So what if it's eight years of love? True love won't be replaced!"

I had been in love with Charles for eight years, then I suddenly lose my love of him.

Since you like him, I'll give him, a second-hand man that I don't want anymore.

——

I struggled to open my eyes in the emergency room.

Before the doctor could say something to me, Charles asked the doctor in an indifferent tone.

"Sibyl Austin, why did you pretend to fall off the cliff to threaten me just because I accompanied Flora back to the city first?"

"How many times have I told you? As for me, Flora is my younger sister. Can you not misunderstand our relationship?"

Charles stared at me coldly, his expression was full of disgust.

Thinking of the wonderful spring outing, I still had a lingering fear.

Charles and I had planned to take a vacation together.

Before we set off, Charles's childhood sweetheart, Flora, suddenly wanted to go with us.

Although I was reluctant, I didn't want to spoil the mood, so I agreed to take her with us.

Unexpectedly, when the car was driven on a winding road, it suddenly broke down.

There was no signal in the deep mountains, and there were few cars passing by on this road.

We searched on the map and find that there was a mountain village nearly, we decided to go through the forest and ask the villagers for help.

All of a sudden, the mountain was filled with fog so we lost our way.

What was even more unfortunate was that I sprained my ankle.

Charles said that he could not take me who could not walk by myself to find the village across the forest and left me alone in the mountains .

He accompanied his childhood sweetheart to find help, saying that he would come back to help me when he found help.

I waited for him until late at night. From time to time, terrifying beast roars from the forest could be heard.

I didn't dare to wait any longer. I limped forward with great difficulty.

However, I fell off the cliff. Fortunately, a small tree caught me.

I climbed up covering in wounds. After exhausting all my energy, I passed out because of losing temperature.

Until the next morning, a villager who went into the mountains to collect herbal medicine find me.

"They helped me contact the rescue team. Only then did I manage to survive.

But now, Charles thought that it was me who had pretended to fall off the cliff to threaten him.

"Charles, I didn't... I really..."

As soon as I wanted to explain to him, I realized that my voice was extremely hoarse.

"All right! Don't put on airs if you're not dead. I will leave to take care of Flora. Take care of yourself."

After saying that impatiently, Charles walked out without looking back.

His back disappeared in my sight. I could no longer hold back my tears.

I've been in love for him and done everything for him for eight years and tried my best to pursue him.

Three years in high school, four years in college, one year in work, a total of eight years.

Under the opposition of everyone around me, I resolutely loved him without any self-esteem.

However, he regarded me as nothing.

We had been together for eight years, but our love became nothing compared to his childhood sweetheart.

I stayed in the hospital for a week, and Charles never came again.

However, I could see Flora showing off their love every day on Instagram.

"Charles is so considerate. He is the good man who made lunch for me again!"

"It's just a scratch on my forehead, but Charles treat me very well."

In the first few days, I saw what new tricks they had every day.

Later, the more I looked at it, the more upset I felt, so I simply stopped reading it.

I went through the discharge formalities at the hospital alone and took a taxi home.

There was a lot of dust at home. It seemed that Charles hadn't been home for a week.

I wasn't in the mood to clean the house, so I made a bed sheet and lay on the sofa.

On the way home, I bought a new mobile phone and applied for a phone card.

My phone fell off the cliff. I don't think I'll be able to get it back.

As soon as she put the phone card in my phone, I received a call from Charles.

I heard Charles's furious voice came from the other end of the line.

"Sibyl, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you answer my phone?"

Charles was short-tempered, and he would fly into a rage if anything went wrong.

I endured him for eight whole years. I couldn't tell how many grievance I had suffered.

In the past, as long as he lost his temper, I would be scared out of my wits.

I would do everything I could to beg him and curry favor with him.

But this time, I suddenly calmed down.

Perhaps my love for him had disappeared.

"My phone fell off the cliff. I just bought a new one today."

Charles kept silent for a while.

Perhaps my calmness surprised him, so I asked him.

"Why do you call me?"

Charles was surprised as if he could not accept my attitude.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were discharged from hospital? I came here for nothing."

"Didn't I buy you a limited edition diamond necklace before? Where did you put it? Flora wants to wear it in the jewelry exhibition tomorrow. And I want to go with her tomorrow."

I was upset.

That diamond necklace could be considered a token of love between Charles and me.

Although he didn't spend much money buying it eight years ago.

However, it was a famous designer's unique work, the price had risen to a very high level.

But in my heart, it was priceless.

It represented my love for Charles.

It was also my entire youth and dream.

But now, Charles was going to share the necklace with another woman.
