Semua Bab One Kiss for My Last Month: Bab 1 - Bab 10

No, it had to be a hallucination or just someone with the same name.Back when we were together, he as nothing more than an ordinary medical student. There was no way he could be a heir of the Cooper family.I leaned back against the seat, my mind buzzing.The car glided smoothly through the gates of a luxurious hillside estate.By the time my mother led me into the grand hall, quite a crowd had already gathered inside.The soft melody of a piano drifted through the air.At a glance, I recognized several familiar faces.They were the same relatives who mocked my mother when she fell on hard times in my previous life, some of whom had even kicked her while she was down.Now, every one of them hovered around her with flattering smiles, eager to win her favor.The moment their eyes landed on my fish-scented hoodie, they made no effort to hide the contempt and ridicule in their expressions.My eldest aunt pinched her nose and dramatically took two steps back.“Wendy, is this the daughter w

As I walked down the staircase with my arm linked through Julian’s, more than half the guests had already left the hall.The remaining relatives immediately put on flattering smiles the moment they saw him.But when their eyes landed on me, the contempt was still impossible to hide.My mother sat at the center of the sofa, a glass of red wine in her hand.Her gaze lingered on our intertwined hands for a second, her expression unreadable.I couldn't tell what she was thinking. I only knew that when she spoke, every word was as sharp as ever.“Since Mr. Cooper has taken a liking to her, this hopeless case is yours now.”Her gaze shifted to me.“Suzy Smith, don't go to the Cooper family and embarrass me by using my name.”Her tone was vicious, filled with unmistakable satisfaction and revenge.I forced down the waves of pain pulsing through my head.Then I flashed a carefree grin.“Don't worry, Ms. Sharp. I'll cling to the Cooper family with everything I've got. I definitely won't be borr

During this time, I only ever addressed her as Ms. Sharp.“I’m so tired.”I leaned against the wall and spoke softly.My mother released my wrist, and her tears broke free once more.She stepped forward and pulled me tightly into her arms.Back in the hospital room, my mother sat on the sofa.After wiping away her tears with a tissue, she regained some of her usual composure, though her face remained pale.Julian stood by the window.I was the one who broke the silence.“Julian, didn't you want to know why I left back then?”He turned around, his gaze locking onto mine.“A few years ago, I stayed with my father.”My voice remained calm.“He was addicted to gambling and owed a massive amount of loan-shark debt.“He tried to force me to work in nightclubs to pay it off.”My mother's breathing grew uneven, and her hands twisted tightly together.“When I refused, he beat me. He whipped me with belts and threw chairs at me.“One night, he got drunk and smashed a bottle over my head.”I lift

My father's screams echoed through the hallway like a wounded animal.My mother's voice was cold as steel.“If you ever show your face in front of her again, I'll make sure you regret it. Now get out.”Silence soon returned to the corridor.My mother turned to look at me.The fury in her eyes hadn't completely faded.But the moment our gazes met, it softened into heartache.“Did he scare you?”She sat down beside the bed and asked softly.A wave of emotion washed over me.“Mom, have you always wanted to know why I chose him instead of you back then?”My mother's hand stiffened.“When you pushed me away and clung to him, I hated you for it.”She spoke quietly, her voice trembling.“I thought you looked down on me. I swore I'd never care about you again.”I looked at her exhausted face and slowly began to speak.“What if I told you I've lived two lives?”She froze but didn't interrupt me.“In my previous life, I chose you without hesitation. But the Sharp family never accepted me. To the

The doctors couldn't talk us out of it and eventually gave in.That afternoon, I returned to the hillside estate.Not long after I settled in, a maid came upstairs to inform us that a group of unexpected visitors had arrived.I forced myself to stay alert and let Julian wheel me downstairs.The neighbors from the seafood market were standing in the living room.Dressed in their best clothes, they looked awkwardly out of place in the luxurious surroundings.“Suzy, we heard you're getting married, so we came to see you.”The butcher held out a bag.“Everyone pitched in a little. It's just a small gift.”My eyes stung as I sat in my wheelchair.“Thank you, Sir.”“Thank you, Miss Cook.”My mother stepped forward and accepted the bag with both hands.“Thank you for looking after Suzy all these years. Please stay and join us for the wedding.”The neighbors looked startled by the invitation and waved their hands repeatedly.“No, no, that's alright.“Seeing that she's doing well is enough for
