After returning from Riverbend Old Town, Ethan Grant was diagnosed with severe depression and had to be hospitalized for treatment. Many people came to visit him during this time. But none of them were Talia Rhodes. Every time someone opened the door to his hospital room, Ethan would hold his breath anxiously, staring at the door expectantly. But each time, he would lower his eyes and slump his shoulders in disappointment. From dawn until dusk, he never saw the person he wanted to see. Ethan’s heart was in pain, and he thought desperately that his Talia would never return. Talia, what’s the point of living without you? At dinner time, Eleanor Madison came with the caregiver to bring Ethan his meal. The moment she opened the door, Eleanor suddenly screamed sharply, dropped the insulated container in her hand, and rushed forward. Eleanor grabbed Ethan, "Ethan, don’t do anything foolish! Don’t scare your mom, don’t be !" Just as she entered, she saw Ethan holding a fruit knife, cutting his wrist! Eleanor cried, her tears streaming down, "You silly child, why are you so foolish? What can’t you figure out? How can you do this to mom, wuwuwu..." Blood dyed the sheets red, Ethan’s wrist had a deep cut, and the blood kept flowing out. Ethan’s eyes were vacant, his expression dazed; he didn’t hear a word of what Eleanor was saying. His mind was filled with thoughts that Talia didn’t want him anymore, that Talia would never come back. He was in pain, unable to breathe, feeling life was meaningless and not worth living. It’s so painful, Talia. The heart really hurts. The caregiver was frightened and ran out, screaming for help. Doctors and nurses quickly arrived. Ethan was pushed into the emergency room. Eleanor was crying helplessly in the corridor. "Tragedy! Truly a tragedy! Ethan, how could you be so foolish!" Talia answered the phone from Eleanor as she was leaving the hospital. Outside, it was minus five degrees; Talia got into the car, turned on the heater for a while, and saw a call from an unknown number. "Talia Rhodes, I beg you to come to the hospital and see Ethan, Ethan attempted suicide for you, he was barely saved, the doctor said he currently has no will to live, wuwuwu Everything that happened before was my fault, I apologize to you, could you please save Ethan, he’s my only son!" Ethan attempted suicide? Talia seemed not to understand. She couldn’t connect the two words "suicide" with Ethan at all. A person like him, how could he possibly commit suicide? Eleanor was crying breathlessly. "Did Ethan come to see you last night?" Eleanor tried to stop crying and asked. The sobbing from the other end of the phone started again. "He passed out in the snow last night, and today when I came to see him, I entered the hospital room and saw him cutting his wrist, what did you do to him last night? Why would he think of committing suicide?" Talia frowned, "What could I possibly do to him?" Eleanor cried, "Talia Rhodes, before I didn’t know you were the Rhodes Family’s heiress, I admit I snobbishly looked down on you before, I apologize, I’m begging you, can you come to the hospital and see Ethan, he has been saved, but he still has no will to live and doesn’t want to wake up, can you please come and persuade him?" "Sorry, it has nothing to do with me." Hearing Talia say this, Eleanor instantly became angry. She raised her voice and accused sharply, "Talia Rhodes, how can you be so cruel? Don’t you have a heart? Ethan attempted suicide for you and you are so heartless, not even willing to come see him!" Talia laughed in anger, "I’m cruel? If that’s how you see me, there’s nothing I can do about it." After saying that, she didn’t waste any more words with Eleanor and decisively hung up the phone. Ethan lay on the hospital bed, in a daze, seemingly hearing Talia’s voice. He struggled to open his eyes. What he saw was the white ceiling, the clear pain in his wrist, and the smell of disinfectant and medicine filled his nose. He moved his fingers slightly. "Ethan, you’re finally awake! Why are you so troubled, wuwuwu..." Eleanor’s eyes were red and swollen from crying, like a sad frog. Ethan struggled to speak, "Mom, why is it you? Where’s Talia?" He clearly heard Talia’s voice just now. Ethan’s eyes shifted, scanning the room. His dad, his mom, Zachary Lynch, Wyatt Jacobs, and some of his other brothers were there, even Vivian Coleman who had a big fight with him that morning had come, but he didn’t see the person he longed for. Hearing Ethan’s first question after waking up was about Talia Rhodes, Vivian looked pained and turned away with tears. His father Marcus Grant criticized angrily, "Attempting suicide for a woman, how did I, Marcus Grant, raise such a useless son!" "Say less, the son has just been saved, do you want him to die?" Eleanor turned and glared at Marcus in displeasure. Marcus had dark circles under his eyes, indicating sleepless nights from worry. He reproached with a stern voice, "You’ve spoiled him too much, look what kind of person you’ve raised, thinking only about women all day, even attempting suicide over a woman! It’s disgraceful!" Eleanor wasn’t happy, she glared at Marcus with those red-swollen eyes, "What do you mean by saying I raised him this way? Isn’t he your son? Have you done your part? If we really talk responsibility, you’re the most irresponsible father!" Aaron Lynch quickly spoke up to mediate: "Okay, okay, Uncle, Aunt, please don’t argue, Ethan just woke up, he needs to rest quietly." Wyatt Jacobs echoed, "That’s right Uncle, Aunt, please don’t argue." Wyatt’s phone played the sound of Talia’s voice. Ethan froze, his gaze locked on Wyatt’s phone, "Did Talia just call?" His eyes glimmered with anticipation, lifeless eyes suddenly seemed to regain a bit of light. Wyatt scratched his head, "No, the doctor said you have no will to live or wake up, so I thought of something." He then turned the phone screen towards Ethan, which was playing a video of Talia. It was filmed when they had just gotten together, during Talia’s birthday celebration. At that time, Vivian hadn’t returned, and he wasn’t involved in any entanglements outside; he truly loved Talia.

In the video, Talia was wearing a beautiful dress, with delicate makeup, holding a birthday cake, smiling sweetly at the camera. "Ethan, thank you for celebrating my birthday with me, I really am so happy today." "This is the first time I’ve celebrated my birthday with a boyfriend, it’s very memorable." Ethan’s voice came from the video, "Talia, I’ll celebrate every birthday with you from now on." So it turns out the voice he heard just now was from the video. Tears streamed down from Ethan’s eyes uncontrollably. Three years later, things had changed, watching the video made his heart ache.
