Chapter 4 Reid rushed into the room and yanked me inside with him . " How long are you going to keep this up ? " Reid's eyes blazed with fury . " You won't even leave a patient alone ? " Watching him carefully tend to Lily's burn , I suddenly felt utterly exhausted . [ ] I looked straight into Lily's eyes , my voice completely calm : [] " I'm not marrying Reid . You don't need to keep up the act . " Reid's movements suddenly froze . After a few seconds , he slowly stood up , a mocking smile playing at his lips : [ ] " The doctor said you only have temporary amnesia . " ] He deliberately pulled out a familiar diary and casually tossed it in front of me . " Once you remember how much you used to love me , you won't say stupid things like that anymore . " ] My heart clenched painfully . That was the diary I'd shyly given him on the day he confessed , filled with fifteen years of love I'd been too embarrassed to speak aloud . I bit down hard on my lip , but tears still fell uncontrollably . Reid continued : [ ] " If you were still the kind Sage from before , I'd love you , cherish you , and protect you like I always did . " [] " But now you're so jealous and petty that you don't even care about human life . " " Selfish and cruel … when did you become like this ? " ] I was choking back sobs so hard I couldn't get a single word out . " She's always been like this . " " She's always been a proud princess , and princesses never have to bow their heads . You're the one who let her down . " ] An authoritative voice spoke from behind me . The newcomer wore my family's security uniform but carried himself with unmistakable nobility . ] He pulled me protectively into his arms . ] " Miss , I'm sorry I'm late ." I wiped away my tears and fought back the sob in my throat as I said to Reid : ] " Sorry , but how much I loved you ? I don't remember anymore . " ] I turned and walked away . [ ] Out of the corner of my eye , I saw Reid's rare panic , like he wanted to chase after me . " Reid , I think my hand is blistering … " Lily's fragile voice rang out . Reid ultimately didn't follow me . [ ] At the last moment before leaving the room , I viciously threw the diary into the trash . After that . Reid and I had no more contact . ] I was busy preparing to leave , and he was busy giving Lily his undivided love . One day , the bridal shop suddenly messaged me saying the wedding dress I'd personally designed was almost finished . [ ] Only then did I remember that my original wedding date with Reid was just one week away . Even though I'd never get to wear it , it was still the dress rd designed myself , and I couldn't help wanting to see it one last time . In the bridal shop , the dress sparkled with brilliant iridescent light . I reached out with trembling hands to gently touch it " Thought you said you weren't getting married ? Clearly you're still having second thoughts . " I turned around - it was Lily again . " I'm just here to say goodbye . I don't want a man who can't make up his mind . " " It's just a shame to waste such a beautiful dress . " I snorted coldly and said mockingly : ] " If you want it so badly , you can have it. " Lily didn't get angry . Her eyes were full of hope as she actually stepped closer to the dress . I sighed , thinking she was just too lovestruck - Reid was really the one to blame for all this . But I underestimated just how vicious Lily could be . After getting close to the dress , she suddenly started breathing rapidly , then her whole body went limp . ] Not understanding what was happening , I approached her with concern " Hey , what's wrong ?
