Federico didn’t answer her question. Instead, he gave Rodrick a complicated look and then left in a hurry.
In the evening, Lila said she wanted to go out for a walk, so Britney pushed her out for some fresh air.
There was sunset glow on the horizon, and it made the whole city look really red.
It was hard to see such brilliant sunsets in early winter.
Not far away, Bianca was also pushing Elowen for a walk. Britney didn’t want to run into her, so she changed direction.
Bianca was focused on talking with Elowen and didn’t notice Britney over here.
“Mom, just relax and wait for the surgery. This time, the team doing your surgery was the world’s top experts, and the risk was really, really low!”
Elowen felt pretty relieved, “This time it was all thanks to Rodrick. You have to thank him for me.”
Bianca smiled sweetly, “Rod said we didn’t have to be so polite to him.”
“That’s true, after all, we’ll be one family in the future.”
“Oh my gosh.” Bianca got shy.
“I didn’t say anything wrong, Rod really cared about you, your dad and

I could both see it…”
The mother and daughter walked farther and farther away, and their voices gradually couldn’t be heard.
But under the shade, Britney looked pale.
She never thought it was Rodrick who helped Bianca take the appointment!
All the grievances she had gone through these past days hit her like a tidal wave at that moment.
No matter how unbreakable the defenses of the heart were, they were destroyed in an instant.
Emotion beat reason, she impulsively wanted to ask Rodrick what was
going on.
When my head cleared up a bit, I was already downstairs at Rodrick’s place.
The cold wind rustled.
Britney came so fast, she didn’t even have time to put on her coat.
The biting cold kept creeping down her neck.
Since she was already here, Britney decided to have an honest talk
with Rodrick.
But as soon as she took out her phone, she saw Rodrick’s car coming back from outside.
The headlights were so bright she couldn’t open her eyes, and by the time she got used to it, the car had already stopped steadily in the private parking spot.

Britney was just about to say something, but then she saw Bianca get out of the passenger seat with a big smile.
The sound just got stuck in my throat and no matter what, I couldn’t get it out.
After Rodrick got out of the car, he went to the trunk and took out a small pink suitcase.
It was obviously a woman’s stuff.
Then the two of them went into the house, talking and laughing.
The moment the door closed, it felt like a piece of my heart peeled away again.
For a long, long time, Britney just didn’t get over it.
So soon… you already started living together?
Yeah, after all, we’d been in love for so many years, and finally we could be together openly, so why wait?
Only when you didn’t love or care, you just dragged things out.
There was no such thing as a long–distance love.
In the end, it was just that they didn’t care.
In a flash, she understood something, and her heart turned cold and
gray.
Britney just stood under the shade of the tree, watching the lights come on inside the house.
A sudden pain came from my heart that had long been numb.
She faced this throbbing pain clearly, without avoiding it.
