Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Alone in Real World

Remembering her previous life from a simple family, Tiara lived happily with her family before her parents left her because she was seriously ill. However, as time went by, her father contracted pneumonia so he had to leave her early. Moreover, at that time her family’s financial condition was unstable, so they were unable to pay for his father’s hospital costs.

When her biological father died, Tiara lived only with her mother until she was an adult. Before dating Linnon, she felt that her life was empty, especially as her mother’s health condition got worse and she had to be hospitalized.

Until she finally married Linnon, she felt that her life was a little calm because Linnon helped pay for the hospital. However, Linnon also couldn’t help much because his monthly salary couldn’t cover the hospital costs.

Even to the point that Linnon had started to give up on paying for the hospital, he did not hesitate to protest against his wife even though they had only been married for four months.

"Tiara, I really can’t pay for your mother’s hospital bill any more. I’ve even asked for money from office friends, but they don’t want to lend it to us. "Actually, there are people who want to lend money, but they charge quite a lot of monthly interest."

Tiara’s eyes became increasingly teary when she heard her husband’s shouting, making her heart ache. "So, you want me to give up watching my mother die slowly?"

Linnon rolled his eyes. "That is not what I mean-"

"It seems like you don’t really love me, Linnon. You abandoned me every time I asked you to date me on the grounds that you were busy working. Isn’t the overtime money you earn enough to pay for my mother’s care?"

"But, it still can’t, Tiara! Even the income from writing novels is not enough. "Because your mother has entered stage four lung cancer, she needs more treatment so we have to spend more money."

Tiara couldn’t hold back the tears that continued to wet her eyelids. She ran into their room then locked the door. At first she was disappointed with Linnon because she was shouted at for the first time due to financial problems. Therefore, since they quarreled, Tiara has been reluctant to ask Linnon for help in paying for her mother’s hospital bill. However, that didn’t mean she ignored Linnon like a stranger.

Until she was almost harassed by drunk men, Linnon still seemed busy working so she was forced to go home alone. However, fortunately the drunken men were defeated by a young man whose real name she still doesn’t know.

Since she was taken to the hospital, she still wonders who the hero who saved her at that time was. Whether that person is someone she knows or not. Moreover, due to the trauma she experienced, she experienced a bit of amnesia regarding the harassment incident.

When she opened her eyes in the emergency room, she only saw the figure of Linnon, who looked messy as if she had run a marathon. Her gaze looked listless, because she felt guilty for making her husband worry about her too much.

"What actually happened?" Tiara asked weakly.

Linnon immediately hugged his wife’s body tightly. "I’m sorry, Tiara. I should have picked you up from work."

Tiara massaged her forehead, it still hurt. "Lastly I was attacked by a group of men in an alley near our house. But, someone saved me."

"If I heard information from the nurse who looked after you, that man didn’t want to give his name when paying all the hospital bills for you."

"I wonder who he is. I should have asked his name first. I have to repay him someday when we meet."

Linnon patted his wife’s shoulder rhythmically. "Finding him will definitely be very difficult, especially since he uses an anonymous name so you can’t find him. We just have to pray for him."

The next day, this time Tiara decided to leave work early to care for her mother who was still being treated in hospital. Because she was quite tired of going home early which would actually endanger her life.

When she arrived at her mother’s room, her eyes widened when he saw her mother’s happy face, plus a fruit basket and a bouquet of roses were placed on the table near the window. One thing is focused on her mind now. Was this all Linnon’s doing because he felt guilty about abandoning her last night?

"Mom, what actually happened while I was working? Linnon bought you fruit and flowers?"

The mother welcomed her daughter’s arrival with a warm smile. "Not your husband. But a handsome young man came to me suddenly."

Tiara’s forehead furrowed. Did her mother mean the young man who saved her yesterday? So, who is this young man really? Why did the young man continue to hide even though he had been helping her secretly all this time?

"What is that young man’s name?"

"I don’t know his name. "What is certain is that this young man is more handsome than Linnon and he is more friendly and affectionate." Tiara’s mother pursed her lips. "If I could match you with him sooner, you would definitely live a happier life than now. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be born from a rich family."

Tiara rolled her eyes. "Mom, you still shouldn’t trust strangers carelessly. What if that person is a bad person?"

"He is not a bad person, my daughter. He’s been the one paying the hospital bills."

This actually made Tiara’s curiosity burn even more. Could it be that this young man was someone she had known all this time? If it were a stranger, it would be impossible to volunteer to go this far.

Several months have passed, Tiara had to let go of her mother because she couldn’t be saved if the cancer had entered its final stage. She and Linnon held a simple funeral for his mother and it did not take long. Moreover, only a few guests attended. This actually made Tiara feel like her life was increasingly empty. Moreover, Linnon looks stressed because he has spent a lot of money taking care of all this.
