Chapter 1503


    I nodded. After hesitating a little, I asked, "Did Iane to Jarold City with you? I haven''t been able


    to get in touch with him. Did he change his phone number?"


    He froze hearing Ian''s name. He answered stiffly, "I am not sure. I haven''t contacted him in a long


    time. Perhaps... he had gone to Mesville. After all, he is familiar with that ce."


    Something was wrong. I frowned. "Did you and Ian have a fight? What happened?"


    He seemed dazed and shook his head in response. "No, we are fine. Don''t overthink this. We


    haven''t been in touch for such a long time now, how are you? Mom said that Anne had been ill for


    quite a while. How is she doing now?"


    Something must be wrong!


    Ian and Sawyer had taken care of Anne together for a long time. If she was merely a child of his


    friend, he might just ask casually. But Anne was different. Ian and Sawyer treated Anne like their


    own daughter. Why did he ask about her so casually? It didn''t seem right!


    I stared at him and answered, "Sawyer, I understand that whatever happens between you and Ian is


    between you two. But as a friend of Ian as well as your sister, I can''t pretend nothing is wrong. What


    happened to you and Ian? Do you know what Anne had been diagnosed with? She almost died


    from acute leukemia! I have no idea what happened between you and Ian. I couldn''t get through to


    both of you, neither through phone nor text. If you still think of me as a friend, no matter what had


    happened, tell me. I don''t believe that you two will act this cold-hearted towards Anne, even when


    she was nearly on her deathbed."

    Hearing about Anne''s illness, he was stupefied for a moment. Obviously, he was shocked. It


    seemed that Valerie had never told him about Anne''s condition in detail. He had been totally in the


    dark.


    He was silent for a while. Then, he questioned, "How''s Anne at this moment? Is she doing better?"


    I nodded and said, "She is better now after undergoing a bone marrow and kidney transnt, but


    there is still an observation period of five years. She will be fine if there is no rpse. If there is a


    rpse, a second transnt might be needed. But enough about Anne. What happened between


    you and Ian?"


    He clenched his fists, seemingly overwhelmed. After a long time, he uttered, "He impregnated a


    woman in a bar and returned to Mesville to be with her until she gave birth."


    I was shocked by this news. I hesitated before finally saying, "What was the exact rtionship


    between you and him? You have feelings for him, don''t you?"


    He pursed his lips and nced at me. "Are you looking down on me because of this?"


    I shook my head immediately and disagreed, "No, every rtionship in the world is pure. I don''t look


    down on any rtionships at all. Sawyer, I asked because I have known since a long time ago that


    you and Ian were different. I think you really care about each other. I''m asking because I can''t


    understand why you two separated despite you obviously caring so much about each other. Of


    course, every rtionship has fights and misunderstandings. I can understand the decisions the


    both of you made. I just want to remind you that no matter what choice you made, just make sure


    that you won''t regret it."


    He lowered his head and replied, "Simply returning to normal life will be good for the both of us. You


    know, we don''t have to be together to be happy; we can be happy on our own."
