Sera’s discharge coincided with her birthday. It was a double celebration, and Julian booked the most luxurious hotel for a lavish birthday bash. The opulence left the Julian’s friends had meticulously prepared gifts for her.

But Sera felt little enthusiasm. After the previous incident, she’d lost all goodwill towards Julian’s friends. They attributed her lack of excitement to her recent illness.
The cake–cutting and wishing part arrived. Julian embraced her, gently cutting the cake. Sera, it’s your birthday. What’s

“Sera, I’ll take her to the hospital. Enjoy yourself. Tell me your last wish by text.” “There is no third wish,” she replied.
“What?”
She shook her head.“Nothing. Go.”
Watching him leave with Chloe, Sera smiled faintly.
“Julian, I don’t need you to fulfill my third wish, because it’s to leave you. And in three days, I
