After completing the discharge procedures, I stood at the hospital entrance with my bag, waiting from morning till night.

But he never showed up, nor did I receive any more calls from him.

When I got into a taxi, Sherry updated her social media with a picture of Luxor busy in the kitchen.

The caption read, [My man is so domesticated!]

I gradually got even more disappointed.

There was no anger, no sadness, just a calmness like still water within me.

Sherry was right. In Luxor's heart, she would always be the first, and I was just a dispensable girlfriend.

Back home, everything was just as I had left it.

A little dusty.

Luxor hadn't come back all week.

I cleaned up the guest room and lay down.

Luxor had said he would pick me up a day ago, yet I hadn't received a single message from him.

I looked at my phone and saw a message from Casper.

[Stella, are you sure you don't want to collaborate with me? This new studio venture will definitely benefit you, and I also have a national-level competition in hand. We can split it 40-60, with me taking 40 and you 60. If not, I can take 30 and you 70.]
