In those days , I thought my life was nothing but darkness . I often found myself bursting into tears for no reason . After a hospital visit , the doctor said I was showing signs of depression . That was when Jeremy started taking care of me . He brought me meals every day , dragged me outside to join club activities and kept giving me little surprises . Bit by bit , he pulled me out of the shadows . So when he confessed his feelings to me , I said yes . Sadly , Jeremy got into a car crash in the year we graduated . After being sent to the hospital for tests , he came back and told me he had a terminal illness . I was terrified at the time . Fearing he would leave me like my grandmother , I worked several jobs to save money for his medical treatment . However , I kept dreaming of a home that belonged just to us . Therefore , once his condition seemed to improve slightly , I brought him back to this city . It was actually because the place was close to my grandmother's grave . My grim plan was that if Jeremy's illness couldn't be cured and he died , I would dig a large grave next to hers . When the time came , Jeremy and I would lie in there together and then we would cover ourselves with soil . Our family of three would be forever inseparable ! But Jeremy wasn't dead yet and I still had to work hard to earn money . Everything started to change when our new flatmate , Stella , moved in . She was nothing like me . While I sold barbecue on the food street , reeking of smoke and oil , Stella was all beauty and style ; every glance of hers dripped with charm . Jeremy was captivated the moment he saw her , forgetting his own illness as he eagerly helped her carry her belongings . My neighbour Wendy often said to me , " Why not let Jeremy find a part - time job ? Even if he only earns two or three thousand a month , it would help . Look how exhausted you are . " I shook my head and insisted , " His health isn't good . I don't mind the hard work ! " Wendy would scoff as a response , " His health isn't good , yet he helps Stella move boxes ? But when your barbecue cart broke down on the road last time , why didn't he The Girl He Dumped Turned Out to Be the Billionaire's Granddaughter 1/2 59.1 % 021 Thu , Oct 16 go out and help you push it ? " " That's because I didn't call him ! " I said . a Actually , I lied . I indeed called Jeremy over a dozen times , but he never picked up . As soon as I returned home , I discovered the reason . It was Stella's birthday and she had invited a bunch of people over for a party . Jeremy was right in the middle of it and he had even given Stella a bracelet worth over eight thousand dollars as a gift . When I was calling him , his phone was lying on the sofa . At that same time , our friends urged Jeremy to put the bracelet on Stella himself . I only saw all this later when I happened to scroll through videos . I ever asked Jeremy another time . " Could you come with me to the night market and help me collect payments ? Sometimes it gets too busy and some customers sneak off without paying . You wouldn't have to stay long , just during the peak hours . " " If you don't want to support me , just say so ! " Jeremy snapped coldly , " Who makes a terminally ill patient work ? " Then he added coldly , " Honestly , you're so stupid . Why don't you take the money first before grilling the skewers ? That way , no one would run off without paying . " One night , some customers drank too much and one of the college boys suddenly grabbed me from behind , touching me inappropriately . Shortly after , we ended up at the police station . Once sober , the student insisted he was only trying to grab a pack of tissues from behind me . He even smirked and said , " Come on , lady , take a look at yourself . You're five years older than me . Why would I ever grope you ? " Just then , Jeremy showed up . He looked utterly embarrassed by me , grabbed my arm and pulled me away . When we got home , even Stella said . " Bridget , you might have genuinely misunderstood that college student . After all , you reek of cooking fumes , most men wouldn't find that appealing !
