The Three Necklaces Chapter 2

At eighteen, I found out I was living in a book.

Ethan was the male lead, and I was his "white moonlight"—the unforgettable first love who died young.

In the book, we only had three years to love each other before I died of stomach cancer.

So I suppressed my feelings and intentionally avoided Ethan.

Nineteen-year-old Ethan didn't understand why I suddenly became cold to him.

He tried hard, hit many walls.

Later, there was a fire at school. He was the only one who rushed in to save me.

A terrifying scar nearly four inches long wound down his arm.

It made him miss his exams and ended his dream of becoming a pilot.

Ethan comforted me instead:

"Will, I insisted on rushing in, it has nothing to do with you."

That night, I accepted Ethan's confession.

I told myself, stomach cancer is curable if caught early.

The plot in the dream might not happen.

After graduating college, we got married.

After that, I researched a lot, going for checkups regularly.

Ethan was more nervous than me, almost memorizing the test results.

Unfortunately, life rarely goes as planned.

I don't understand, stomach cancer was detected early.

But why did it worsen into late stage in just one month?

So unexpected, so contrary to common sense.

During that time, Ethan was like a walking corpse, his hair turned half gray, suffering insomnia night after night.

Yet he pretended to be relaxed when visiting me, wearing a hat to comfort me not to be afraid.

But no miracle happened.

Before dying, I hid three necklaces and hired someone to tell Ethan a location every year:

"Hubby, this is my favorite necklace. Remember to burn one for me every year, I want to be beautiful in the afterlife too."

With this promise, I stopped Ethan's countless thoughts of suicide.

Ethan was depressed,消沉 and desperate because of his love for me.

And also persisted and cheered up because of his love for me.

Three years later, the destined heroine of the plot, Lily Summers, appeared.

The heroine would heal him with love and tenderness.

Redeeming Ethan from the past, starting the sweet romance plot that followed.

The last necklace didn't need to be found.

I was destined to be forgotten.
