Just by looking into Katty Davis’s eyes, Ste Grace could tell that whatever it was, she was greatly bothered by it.


    Why did she have to make herself suffer then?


    Knowing how to turn someone down was an important skill to have in life.


    Ste put Katty’s phone aside and said with a smile, “Aren’t you here for treatment? Tell me your problems.”


    “My man doesn’t love me.” Katty smiled and looked straight into Ste’s eyes. “He loves a dead woman.”


    Ste knew that. She wasn’t even surprised or shockedwhen she said it.


    “And then?” Ste asked calmly.


    “He has a secret room. I sneaked in and saw photos and relics of the dead woman. That woman has been dead for years. I have been waiting for him all this time and he didn’t even bother looking at me. I am not satisfied.” Katty choked back her tears.


    “If you were to leave him, you would only lose a man who never loved you. But in turn, he would lose someone who loved him. You’ve wasted so many years on him. There’s no point in wasting any more of your time on him.


    Without him, your days will be brighter. You can meet better men and do what you always wanted to do.


    If you choose to stay with him, your days will be gloomy andfilled with sadness,ints and devastation.


    So for your sake, I think it’s better to let go of a toxic rtionship like this,” Ste said gently, as though she was treating a real patient.


    “What I want the most is to be with him. I don’t like other men at all,” Katty said.


    “He might be thinking the same thing. What hurts people the most is when they can’t get what they want. You need to take charge of your own mental well-being. A therapist can only tell you how to cope with your problems. It’s up to you whether you want to take the advice. Sometimes, you might put too much stress on yourself.”


    “Easier said than done. What would you do if you were in my situation? If your husband or your fiance only has that dead girl in his heart, what would you do?” Katty red at Ste.


    “No matter how sad I am, no matter how unwilling I am, no matter how bad I feel, I will drive this person out of my heart.


    If he doesn’t love me, why should I love him?If I can’t get into of his heart, I would rather stay away from him rather than be constantly sad,” Ste said.


    “Could you do it?” Katty’s eyes were red.


    “Why do you think I left to study abroad?” Ste asked.


    Katty pointed to the ground.“Why did youe back then?” she said with hatred.


    “Because I have made my decision… not to love,” Ste said clearly. She nced at Katty and smiled.


    “I can still remember, when I first met you, you were pretty, youthful and the brightest person in the room.


    Three yearster, have you looked at yourself?


    You probably weren’t happy all this while. You started smoking and binge drinking and neglected proper skin care. You looked dull, got crow’s feet, e and pigmentation like a woman who had gone through years of domestic abuse.


    Was all that worth it for a man who didn’tevenlove you?” Ste asked.


    Katty raised her voice. “Don’t make things sound so simple, you just never got him.”


    “Do you think that I never loved Frederick? I loved him a lot. Even after I knew that he asked someone to kidnap me, I still married him without hesitation. Why do you think I married him?” Ste said with a smile, but her eyes were covered with ayer of tears.


    Katty stared at Ste.


    She did not know much about Ste and Frederick but she knew that Frederick had had multiple girlfriends.


    She thought that whoever married Frederick was remarkably unlucky, it must have been like being hitchedto Don Juan.


    Sheter found out that it was Ste.


    In an instant, Katty’s anger dissipated. She lowered her head, and burst into tears.


    How much courage or devastation must an arrogant and stubborn girl had to have for her to cry in front of her love rival?


    “There are a few types of rtionships in this world; family, friendship, love. 80 percent of people have no love, friendship, or even family affection.


    Their lovers left them as they lost their affections. Some do not have true friends. They were only friends because they shared the same interests or the same enemies. But friendships are fragile anyway.


    Some might pay too much attention to their love rtionship and neglect the people around them. If a family has only one child, things would still be better. When there are multiple siblings, the parents might not be able to constantly shower one with care and love withoutints of bias and even hatred.


    Katty, to be frank with you, you are very lucky. You have your parents and brother who love you. The only mistake you have made is falling in love with a man who would never love you.


    And because of him you hurt your loved ones, friends, and yourself. Are all these worth sacrificing?” Ste said softly.


    Katty was immersed in tears. She looked up at Ste and said, “How can I get myself out of this? Ste, help me.”


    “Life is short. Ask yourself, if I were to give you 50 years, do you think you can make Jasper look at you?” Ste asked cruelly.


    Katty shook her head. “It’s impossible. He only has Bettany in his heart.”


    “The average life expectancy in our country is 72 years old. You are 30 years old now, you have at least another 42 years to go.


    You had a crush on Jasper when you were very young and you have never enjoyed being loved. You have not felt loved by a man who is not from your family. Katty, let go of the past and get yourself a good rtionship. If you can’t get the man you loved the most, get one who loves you the most.” When Ste said this, her eyes turned red.


    She was also saying this to herself.


    “I, I…” Katty frowned and couldn’t bring herself to talk. She wiped her tears and looked at Ste. She pulled herself together, picked up her courage and said, “I have syphilis.”


    “It can be cured. Love yourself and others too. Find a man who loves you and use the necessary protection. It will heal, just like your heart will. Everything will be fine,” Ste said. For some reason, she was also tearing.


    They were both in the same situation.Both of them loved a man who only loved a deceased woman.


    As she was treating Katty, she found a way to help herself too.
