In a car accident, my boyfriend sacrificed himself to save my life. But he suffered brain damage and could no longer stand up. Today, that sultry woman was sitting on his lap. “Even though you can’t stand up, you’re still so amazing.” He panted, “Luckily my little friend wasn’t hurt. Otherwise, how could I satisfy you, you little minx…” Lucas Gray said he loved my innocence the most, but then he lusted after his sister-in-law’s sultriness! I turned to find the doctor. “Have you decided? To transplant brain stem cells to him.” “If the surgery fails, you could lose all emotions.” Later I found out. When Lucas Gray grabbed me during the car accident, he was just using me as a human shield. That doesn’t matter anymore, we’re even now. After I became emotionally numb, he fell madly in love with me, begging on his knees for me to come back to him. 01 Carrying a thermos filled with soup I had made for my boyfriend, I approached his hospital room. But I heard unspeakable sounds coming from inside. “I can’t believe that even though you can’t stand up, you’re still so amazing.” Through the crack in the door, I saw Lucas Gray sitting in his wheelchair. That sultry woman was straddling his legs, their bodies intertwined. “Fortunately, my little friend wasn’t injured,” Lucas smirked confidently. “Otherwise, how could I satisfy you, you little minx?” Scarlett Evans giggled coquettishly, “That stupid girlfriend of yours, as dull as dishwater. She’s definitely not as tight as me…” She licked her lips seductively. “I specially flew to the States for surgery, just for you. You’d better appreciate it properly.” Outside the door, I staggered, almost losing my balance. Lucas Gray had once sworn to me that he had ended things with his late brother’s wife. This morning, he suddenly said he wanted to drink pork rib soup. Now I realized it was just to get me out of the way. He had told me countless times that he loved my innocence the most, but then he lusted after his sister-in-law’s sultriness! I closed the door. Throwing the thermos into the trash can, I turned to see the doctor looking at me with a grave expression. “Miss Collins, are you sure you want to transplant your brain stem cells to him?” The attending physician pushed up his glasses. “This area of the brain has a very complex structure.” He looked at me with sympathy, “If the surgery fails, you might lose all emotions.” I nodded. I begged the doctor not to tell Lucas Gray. On the day of the surgery. The nurse raised the razor, her voice filled with pity. “Pretty girl, how long have you been growing this beautiful hair?” I smiled faintly, “Six years.” Six years ago, I had short hair. Because Lucas Gray once said, “I prefer girls with long hair.” Since then, I never cut my hair again. Now, in just a few minutes, it was all shaved off. “You’re willing to undergo such a scary surgery for your boyfriend. Even I feel scared just hearing about it,” the nurse said, putting away her tools with admiration. “He must treat you very well.” Looking at the ugly bald head in the mirror, I remained silent for a long time. It was quite the opposite. I was the one who had given the most. Lucas Gray, will there be a day when you suddenly remember how good I was to you? And then feel full of regret? As the anesthetic needle pierced my vein, I looked at the dazzling surgical lights and slowly closed my eyes. You saved my life in the car accident, so I’ll help you stand up again. From now on, we’re even. 02 After the surgery, the doctor told me that Lucas Gray would recover soon. But for me, this surgery was a failure. I lost the ability to feel emotions. Six years of love turned to ashes. That night. I sent Lucas Gray a message saying I was going home to visit my mother. A few days later, I returned to the hospital room. I saw Scarlett Evans feeding Lucas soup, their lips almost touching. Once upon a time, Lucas Gray had taken care of me like this when I was sick. But in just a few years, everything had changed. Seeing me arrive, Lucas Gray suddenly pushed her away. He stammered nervously, “Ava, Scarlett said the soup was too hot, so she was just cooling it down for me…” I watched as a drop of saliva trickled from the corner of his mouth. I didn’t break down as he had expected. I just nodded calmly: “Mm, I believe you.” I really didn’t care anymore. I came this time to break up with him. At that moment, Scarlett Evans quickly snatched the documents from my hand. They were Lucas Gray’s medical records and treatment information. She casually flipped through them, reading aloud. “New drug trial report… Warning: there may be certain risks.” “Patients participating in this project will be rewarded $10,000 by our institution—” Hearing this, Lucas Gray suddenly propped himself up. His voice was low and trembling. “A-va Col-lins!” “I trusted you so much that I even let you sign the surgery consent form.” His eyes stared at me intensely, as if trying to see through me. “For money, you actually let them use me as a guinea pig?” “I’ve already given you so much money over the years, and you’re still not satisfied!” Hearing him say this, I suddenly realized— Every time Lucas Gray slept with another woman, he would send me a gift. After his last tryst with Scarlett Evans, In less than half an hour, he had his driver bring me the latest Hermès bag. And the spare room at home, Was already full of various gifts he had sent… I bent down to pick up the papers Scarlett had dropped. “If that’s what you think, then this is the answer.” “Let’s break up.” I looked up at him calmly. Lucas Gray took out a black credit card and threw it at my face. “Isn’t this what you’ve been after all along? Money?” A cruel smile spread across his face. “Don’t worry, I won’t let your six years go to waste.” “Take the money and get out!” I didn’t take the card, nor did I offer any explanation. I looked at him deeply one last time, then turned and left. A few days later. I saw Lucas Gray again. It was in a video my best friend forwarded to me. “Isn’t this your boyfriend?! How did he end up on the Forbes Billionaires List? He’s so famous now, did you know?” I texted her back. “I’ve already broken up with him.” Emma quickly sent me a voice message. I heard her speak reluctantly, “Ava, there’s something I’ve never told you—” That day, she came to the hospital to see me. She overheard a conversation between Scarlett Evans and Lucas Gray. “That stupid girl still thinks you saved her” “You actually pulled her over to use as a human shield” “Unfortunately, our Mr. Gray had bad luck and still got injured” Now, my friend’s voice was filled with pain. “But I saw that you two seemed so in love, I wasn’t sure if she was just talking nonsense, so I didn’t say anything…” Thinking back. When I woke up after the accident and cried while thanking Lucas Gray. That unnatural expression that flashed across his face. I sat motionless in the chair for a long time. Gently stroking the ugly scar on my head with my fingers. Now, I knew everything. And I didn’t feel even a bit of heartache. Lucas Gray still doesn’t know. My brain stem cells have already been transplanted into his brain. That tiny piece contains all my love. 03 In the hospital lobby. Unexpectedly, I ran into Lucas Gray, who was also there for a follow-up. He had his arm around Scarlett Evans, staring at me intently. “It’s only been a short while, Ava Collins, and you’ve turned into this ghost-like state.” I replied to him without any emotion. “I’m fine, just getting by.” The surgery’s side effects left me with excruciating daily headaches. I had become so thin I looked like a skeleton, as if I might fall apart at any moment. The day we broke up, Lucas Gray instantly deleted all our social media posts from the past six years. And I could no longer remember. What it felt like to be in love. This handsome couple attracted the attention of passersby. He walked closer to me. “If you need money, you can come work as a maid at my place.” He narrowed his eyes, looking me up and down as if assessing my value. “Better than hiring a stranger—” Lucas Gray turned to look at Scarlett Evans. “Why not hire an ex-girlfriend we know well? Right, baby?” She gave a coquettish smile. “That’s right. Since I’ve been with Lucas, we’ve had to change the bedsheets five or six times a day.” Leaning against Lucas Gray, she deliberately pressed her chest against him. “You have no idea how vigorous he is now that his legs have healed…” My head felt like it was being pierced by countless steel needles. Looks like I’ll need to get more medication. I frowned as I spoke. “I’m not interested in your private life. You can go have sex right now if you want, feel free.” My voice was calm and emotionless. “But please don’t block my way, thank you.” I stepped aside and walked straight ahead. Scarlett Evans was furious with embarrassment. “Ava Collins! You ungrateful bitch, how dare you!” “I wasn’t finished talking, where do you think you’re going!—” She reached out frantically to grab my hair. But she could only pull off my wig. The entire wig fell into her hand. Scarlett Evans was stunned, frozen in place. A girl nearby pointed at me, her face full of naive malice. “Mommy, look! That lady has no hair, she looks like Caillou!” The little girl’s mother quickly covered her mouth, “Shh, don’t talk about others like that.” Everyone around was shocked, staring at me. But I didn’t yell or make a scene. Looking at the wig, Lucas Gray seemed dazed. “Ava, are you sick? Why did you shave all your hair off…” That was the hair Ava Collins had grown for him for six years. Countless nights, he had inhaled the fragrance of her hair as he gently held her in his arms. Now, her head was completely bald. This was the Ava he remembered as being so beautiful— At this moment, Lucas Gray was visibly shaken. “Ava, if you’re in trouble, you can tell me.” “I’m willing to give you any amount of money for treatment.” His heart was full of regret and self-blame for not noticing her condition earlier. Lucas Gray’s anxious expression was reflected in my emotionless pupils. I spoke calmly, “You’re overthinking it.” “The hairdresser said it could sell for $200, so I let him cut it off.” My voice was as cold as a winter wind. Since he thought I was a gold digger, I might as well let him keep thinking that way. After speaking, I turned and left without looking at their complicated expressions. Scarlett Evans swayed her slender waist. She took Lucas Gray’s hand, cooing coquettishly. “Forget about that ugly woman, Lucas. It’s almost your turn to be called.” For some reason, Looking at the alluring beauty before him, Lucas Gray only felt annoyed. At this moment, his mind was filled with images of Ava Collins, refusing to leave. His entire heart was moved by her. What was happening to him?… 04 I had previously quit my good job as a teacher to take care of Lucas Gray. Now it’s really difficult to find a new job. Those debt collectors come to my house every day, cursing and yelling. To pay off the huge medical debt, I took a part-time job as a bar hostess. Wearing a revealing dress, I accompany middle-aged men drinking in the hall. The more the customers drink, the more commission I can earn. But now that I’m emotionally numb, I don’t care about others’ judgmental looks. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to do this job at all. Today, A drunk customer mocked me without restraint. “Hey, big-chested girl, bring me a dozen beers!” When I was serving the drinks, he deliberately knocked over a glass, splashing alcohol on my clothes. He glanced at me sideways, waiting for my reaction. Unfortunately for him, I had lost most of my emotions, and my face remained impassive. The old man suddenly grabbed my clothes, his face leering as he reached for my chest. “Oh my, I’m so sorry, beautiful. Let me help you clean that up—” Unexpectedly, “This is my girlfriend! Get lost!” Lucas Gray suddenly appeared, throwing a hard punch. For so many days, Ava Collins’ face had been constantly appearing in his mind. Her trembling shoulders when she cried, her radiant smile, those loving eyes… But he never expected, To see her about to be groped by an old man in a bar. In front of him, Lucas Gray reached out to adjust my exposed neckline. That careful, treasuring manner. In our six years together, it was the first time I had seen him like this. His eyes were slightly red, almost pleading. “Ava, you used to be a teacher, how can you do such a degrading job…” But I sat there unmoved. Like an outsider. He suddenly grabbed my hand, with an uncompromising forcefulness: “Get up, come with me!” The commotion we caused made people around us start to whisper and point. “What kind of drama is this? Trying to save a fallen woman?!” I interrupted him. “Lucas Gray, aren’t you bored?” I glanced at him and pushed him away forcefully. “I still need to work and earn money. I’m really busy. Don’t come looking for me anymore.” This gaze was ice-cold to the bone. He couldn’t see a hint of affection for him in Ava Collins’ eyes. His heart began to ache intensely. Having been a playboy for years, Lucas Gray had seen all kinds of beautiful women. But he had never felt heartache for a woman before… He shook his head, impossible, this must all be an illusion caused by the alcohol! As if to prove that Ava Collins meant nothing to him— His eyes sharpened, “Fine, you want to sell alcohol to make money?” “Waiter, bring me 50 glasses, and you drink them all!” “If you finish them all, I’ll give you $50,000!” Our eyes met, one cold, one hot. Seeing Lucas Gray’s fierce expression, I smiled faintly. “Alright, as you say.” This deal was worth it. With this money, I could pay off all my debts. 30 glasses, 40 glasses… The clear liquid slid down my throat, my stomach churning violently. “Stop fucking drinking!” Lucas Gray reached out to snatch the glass from my hand. “Ava Collins, stop it right now!” But I held onto the glass tightly, pouring the last one into my mouth. My stomach was as swollen as if I were nine months pregnant. Those endless debts… could finally be over. At that moment, My calves began to spasm uncontrollably, and I stumbled forward— I distinctly heard Lucas Gray’s sharp intake of breath. But that hand was ultimately half a step too late. My head hit the coffee table hard, right where I had the surgery. My body convulsed as if electrocuted! I lay on the ground, foaming at the mouth… The sudden turn of events threw the entire hall into chaos. Some people screamed, others hurriedly dialed 91 Emma Thompson, my best friend who had come to check on me, desperately pushed through the crowded people. She snatched me back from Lucas Gray’s arms. “It was Ava who transplanted her brain cells to you!” She slapped him hard: “She’s already barely living like a human. What more do you want? Do you have to take her life too?!!”
