Chapter 940
Seeing her reaction, Addy understood. She sighed and said, "Well, Simon didn''t tell you!"
Emily frowned and looked at her in confusion.
Addy looked at her. "You know Simon was kidnapped when he studied in Newley City, right?"
"Mn." Emily pursed her lips and slowly continued, "It was you who saved him! He told me that you
risked your safety to track down the kidnappers and called the police so that he was saved the
second before he got shot in the head. Otherwise, he would have died. Afterward, you were
revenged on because of it. You were badly injured and were hospitalized for more than half a
month."
"Yes!" Addy nodded.
She took sips of coffee to moisten her dry throat before starting talking, "But it''s not so simple an
ident. After that, I found out that I was pregnant.
I didn''t know who the child''s father was. Some men came to take revenge on me that night, so I had
to choose to have an abortion. Later, I bled a lot and lost my uterus, so I couldn''t get pregnant
again!"
"Miss Swan, you..." Emily was stunned.
Although Addy made light of the story on purpose and did not borate on it, she knew clearly this
kind of ident could be a great blow to any woman, and understood how desperate Addy felt.
She had never thought that there was such a dreadful truth behind it!
Addy continued, "He has always been very remorseful and guilty. He believed that it was because
of him that I suffered so much. The weight of guilt pressed on him make him be scourged by his
conscience. So he wanted to help me get rid of the marriage with Sean. He was the one to me
for my tragedy!"
"When he knew the truth, I pleaded with him that I didn''t want anyone else to know about it. He
promised me!" Addy sighed and exined for him. "I didn''t expect him to keep the secret all these
years. He even didn''t tell you. Maybe he thought that this might be the biggest stain for a woman
and felt guilty, so he kept that secret!"
Emily was stunned on the seat.
It was as if a tiny feather had crept into her ear, causing her heart to skip a beat. Then, her mind
suddenly went nk.
Knowing that the two of them had separated, Addy deeply believed that it was because of her, so
she thought it was necessary to tell Emily the truth and clear up the misunderstanding between
them.
Seeing the dull look in Emily''s eyes, Addy parted her red lips, saying with a bitter but serious smile,
"Miss Sam, as early as he left Newley City, he had already let go of his feelings for me. And I even
felt that, in fact, no one had really walked into his heart before he met you. He loves you with all his
heart..."
Emily held the key and stood there absent-mindedly.
It was until a sudden noise made by a cleaner who pulled open the door of the safe passage.

When Emily came to herself, she found herself standing in front of the door, with the key in the lock.
After having the coffee, they went out of the cafe and said goodbye. She hailed a taxi and came
back. At this time, shepletely forgotten that her fiance had said he would pick her up.
Turing the doorknob, she stepped in slowly.
Her mind was still nk, and Addy''s words were echoing in her ears.
In the past, Simon had helped his ex-girlfriend time and time again. Emily had thought that he was
hooking up with Addy under the guise of returning her the favor. After all, they had already known
each other at the age of fifteen. What happened between such a long period was not something
that could be easily expunged from his memory, but now...
She remembered that she had asked him more than once if he could stop caring about Addy. The
first time, he said that he couldn''t for now, and the second time, he didn''t answer.
Because he owed Addy too much, and he had to pay it back...
Emily licked her lips, unsettled. Her heart was like ake in which stones were thrown one after
another. It was stirred so violently that she couldn''t calm down at all.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang.
It was her friend Anthea. She picked it up in a trance. "...Hello?"
On the line, Anthea sounded particrly serious. "Emily, I have something to tell you!"
"... What''s the matter?" Emily asked in confusion.
They grew up together as besties. They always chatted gaily. It was rare for her to be so serious.
Thest time she spoke like this was to inform her of Simon''s grandmother''s death.
"I''m now at the Health Center. I''ve just read Dr. Chin''s medical report and asked the doctor here.
Because his first physical examination showed that something was wrong, the doctor suspected
that he might be caught with HIV, so he checked his blood again. It tested positive. We''re sure that
he has
AIDS. ording to his medical notes, he must have been infected in Country S!"
Emily slowly understood what she said as she asked, "AIDS?"
Anthea replied solemnly, "Yes, it''s AIDS..."
tter!
Emily''s cell phone fell to the ground.
Her mind was instantly tangled and in a mess. She couldn''t think anymore, staggering and leaning
against the wall next to her.
Her face gradually turned pale, her eyes hazy. She stood still in a daze, and her legs and feet numb.
All of a sudden, the image of that night when he came to see her appeared in her mind. He acted
strangely and his handsome face seemed to be covered with grayish ash. He was silent for
something was in his mind. Not only did hepensate her with the diamond ring, but also
promised that he would not do anything again. He wished her happiness forever...
She didn''t know how long it had been. When the door was pushed open, she even forgot to react.
Calvin originally wanted to knock on the door, but when he saw that the door was not closed, he
directly pushed it open. He was surprised to see her standing at the entrance with her whole body
frozen.
"Emily, why did youe back alone? Didn''t you say to call me and wait for me to pick you up? I
thought something had happened to you, so I called you but no one answered!" Calvin said, panting
slightly. At the same time, he let out a sigh of relief for she was home safely. However, when he saw
that she did not respond to him, he could not help but ask, "Emily, you don''t look very well. What''s
wrong with you?"
Calvin stepped forward and reached out to hold her hand. He suddenly frowned and said, "Why is
your hand so cold?"
"Calvin..." Emily''s dry eyes blinked.
She lowered her head, her gaze resting on the hand he was holding.
"Emily, what happened?" Calvin noticed her strange expression and asked with concern.
Emily swallowed and pulled her hand out of her fiance''s bit by bit. Then she looked up slowly into
his eyes, saying word by word in a hoarse voice, "Calvin, I''m sorry! I can''t marry you..."
