I snapped back to reality when I heard the crying in front of me. I looked up to see Zac hugging Aurora tightly as if he were holding a rare treasure and was reluctant to let anything happen to her. I smiled bitterly as I looked at everyone's judgment-filled gazes, feeling a bit nauseous. Zac acted as if he wasn't aware. He just held Aurora with trembling hands and said with relief, "Aurora, I'm glad that you're alright. If something were to happen to you, I'd regret it for the rest of my life." Aurora was so touched that she buried her head in his chest. The next second, she gave me a defiant look. She spoke pitifully as her gaze swept over me. "Zac, I know I've let you down. I also know that you're going to marry Celia, but I really can't live without you. Zac, please forgive me." She was crying pitifully, her eyes red as she looked at Zac. This alone was enough to make his rationality crumble. He immediately wiped the tears from her face, kissed the top of her head repeatedly, and reassured her, "Aurora, I'm sorry. But don't worry. Even after I get married, you'll always be my top priority. Celia and I have been together for eight years. I owe her this." Yes, we had been together for eight years. He fell in love with me at first sight at the beginning of our freshman year and immediately pursued me passionately. We naturally got together, and he treated me attentively during our years together. This continued until Aurora's return. In my previous life, I refused to let go of our long-term relationship, which led me to fall deeper and deeper. Looking at the scene before me, I just wanted to get rid of Zac as soon as possible, so I simply said coldly, "No need, Zac." Zac shot me an impatient look, his eyes no longer filled with the initial sincerity but with disdain. "Celia! Don't you have a conscience? Can't you see that Aurora is in a bad mood? Must you butt in now? Are you that desperate to get married? Do you have to marry me now?" After saying that, he immediately kissed Aurora's forehead to comfort her before glaring at me again. "I'm telling you, even after we get married, Aurora will still matter the most to me. Don't even think about taking her place in my heart! You don't deserve it!" I snapped back, "Let's break up." "What?" After hearing what I said, Zac immediately looked at me in shock. The fury in his eyes was almost tangible. Then, he immediately glared at me with disdain. "Celia, have you no shame? I'm telling you-even if you're playing hard to get, there's no way I'll fall for you. Even if I do marry you, it'll only be out of gratitude for voluntarily giving me your place during the cruise ship accident." I looked at him without any emotion and said calmly, "I really want to break up with you." Zac scoffed, stood up, and hugged Aurora in his arms. He looked at me disdainfully. "Celia, everyone here knows that you've been clinging to me like taffy since Aurora returned. Now that you finally have the chance to marry me, you won't give it up. I don't believe you, and no one here will either." Seeing the smugness in his eyes, I simply took off my engagement ring and tossed it into the trash can nearby. "I don't care whether you believe it or not. We have nothing to do with each other anymore." He had used all his savings at the time to buy me that ring when we first got together. Diagnosed with terminal cancer and given three months to live, she starts taking revenge on those who hurt her. Then, a call from the doctor reveals it was a misdiagnosis!
