At that moment, Ian was on his way to the airport to catch up with Bella.

Ian turned around and drove the car straight to the hospital after reading the message.

Unfortunately, I wasted too much time on the road explaining over and over to convince him that Carol was critically ill.

By the time Ian arrived at the door of the operating room, Carol had just taken her last breath.

Ian had a nervous breakdown, covered his head with his hands, and knelt in the hallway of the hospital, sobbing uncontrollably.

He forced himself to handle Carol's funeral with me.

As everything was settled, Ian realized that all his contacts had been blacklisted by Bella.

He could never get in touch with his first love who had gone abroad.

For seven whole days, Ian was silent without saying a word.

When I asked him in concern, he just shook his head and said he was fine.

I even booked a ticket for Ian to go abroad on my own accord so that he could go to Bella and explain the situation.

However, I was refused indifferently by Ian, who said he wouldn't even contact Bella in the future.

Ian said that he realized he should cherish the people around him after this incident.
