How long can you wait for a man who seems to have no return in sight?

A year, two years, three years—

Or a lifetime?

Seven years, and Hailey Jiang had given all she had to give in despair...

Ethan Zhang, I wont wait for you anymore...

Seven Years of Love Turned to Memories - Chapter 1 Waiting for a Man

How long can you wait for a man who seems to have no return in sight?

A year, two years, three years—

A lifetime.

Hailey Jiang could wait no longer, so she chose to end it all by slitting her wrists.

Seven years, seven scars.

On their once crimson wedding bed, she had made seven deep cuts on her left wrist.

Crimson blood soaked the entire bed, and the room was filled with the sickening smell of blood.

With hollow eyes, Hailey stared at the ceiling, faintly seeing a face with sharp features and handsome features.

Ethan, would you be sad if I died?

The thought flashed through her mind, and she closed her eyes bitterly.

The man who had promised to stay with her forever had left her to die alone.

How could he be sad...

In the last second, Haileys hand fell limply, and her eyes slowly closed.

Her breathing stopped.

...

Groggy.

Hailey opened her eyes, her thoughts becoming clear from the fog.

She was dead.

She remembered every detail of her suicide, but now she was in a strange room.

She looked out the window at the unfamiliar surroundings.

Where was she?

"Creak," the sound of a door opening outside startled Hailey, and she hurriedly moved forward.

When she saw the man who entered the room, her expression froze, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Ethan, how was he here?

Or rather, how did she end up in his place?

As the tall and weary man entered the room, Hailey retreated in a panic.

Ever since Ethan had thrown the divorce agreement at her with disgust, they hadnt seen each other for two whole years.

How was she to explain her presence in his room?

"Ethan, I..." All words stuck in her throat, and Hailey trembled all over.

But before she could continue, Ethan had already approached her.

He walked straight through Haileys body and sat on the sofa.

Through—

Yes, through.

Hailey opened her mouth, her emotions fluctuating from confusion to disbelief, then to helpless sorrow.

How could she have forgotten so suddenly—

That she was already dead?

Now, all the inexplicable emotions and panic became futile.

Ethan, Ethan.

Hailey called out the mans name over and over, looking at him with mixed feelings.

She had wanted to see him but couldnt, and now she could see him so close; was this a perk of being dead?

Hailey gave a self-mocking smile, her heart desolate.

How much she loved Ethan, to even bring her deep-rooted obsession to his side after death.

Hailey didnt know, nor did she want to.

Seven years ago, at their wedding, they had vowed to love each other until the last moment of their lives.

Hailey had kept her promise—

In the last second before her suicide, all she could think of was Ethan.

But what about him?

Ethan from seven years ago had only her in his eyes, but now Ethan had completely treated her as a stranger.

Watching Ethan sitting on the sofa, rubbing his temples wearily, Hailey slowly walked over.

"Ethan, long time no see," she whispered.

Now that she was dead, she could finally stay by his side as she had always wished, right?

At that moment, the door on the side opened, and a sleepy child burst out.

"Daddy!" The soft, clean voice of a child exploded like a thunderbolt in Haileys heart.

Ethan... had a child with another woman?

When they got married, Ethan said he didnt want children to disturb their world of two; he didnt like children!

But what was this now? The tender expression on his face as he held the child, what did it mean?!

Ethan, so you dont dislike children, you just dont want me to have your child...
