I Became His Cure, They Lost Their Minds

My body has a special nourishing effect. However, both of my marriage engagements were called off.

My first fiance was a religious man who broke his celibacy to make love to me. He canceled the engagement because he couldn't forgive himself.

My second fiance was my childhood friend. He made love to me every night. Then, he apologized to me and said I couldn't satisfy him.

When I was about to take my life, I saw them acting out a pure love story at my friend's bedside.

"Sophia, I won't force you if you don't want to do it."

"For you, I'm fine with keeping our relationship platonic. I don't mind if we never do it. I can hold myself back!"

They treat her gently, as if she will shatter with a single kiss. I put the noose away and call my father.

"Dad, I'm not against it anymore. You can send me to the son of the Lowell family to treat his impotence."

My father, Isaac Wright, sounded surprised yet happy. "Julie, you were so adamant about not marrying into the Lowell family yesterday. Why the sudden change of mind?"

I climbed down from the stool and laughed. "I just thought that since I'm all grown up now, it's about time I contribute to our family. I still remember the Lowell family's promise to save the Wright Group if I marry their son and cure him."

Isaac said repeatedly, "This is great!"

Isaac said his military buddy had passed away and left Sophia behind. He added that even though she was sickly and frail, she could still be my friend, so that I wouldn't be lonely. However, she became the cause of my isolation.

After hanging up the phone, I heard Xavier Ferris ask from outside, "Who's in the bathroom? Get out!"

I grabbed the rope and opened the door.

"Julia? Why are you here? And why are you holding something like that?" Xavier frowned.

His eyes were filled with vigilance. It was as if he were scared that I would hurt Sophia.

"Ignore her. She's always been this willful and loved pranking people since we were kids," Aaron Carter also said coldly, standing nearby.

He fidgeted with his rosary and gently caressed Sophia's hand. "We've seen everything you did to Sophia all these years, so stop your scheming."

I heard something shatter inside me. Sadness swallowed me whole. I bit my lip until it bled.

"I arrived before any of you. Didn't Sophia tell you anything?"

"Julie, it's my fault for forgetting to tell them. Don't be angry at me!" Sophia finally spoke up from her bed.

She got out of bed and kneeled before me. "I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry…"

"Julia, you've crossed
