Chapter 2755
Charity frowned. “Chester does know my identity, but we will never get back together.”
Max’s dull eyes suddenly lit up. “Are you serious?”
“How big of a heart do I need to get back together with Chester?” Charity asked.
Max touched his tall nose. “But didn’t you used to love him very much?”
“That was in the past. After we broke up, he got together with quite some women, and I’m not a
trash can either.”
She was not a trash can that collected waste material.
The metaphor made Max laugh. “Chester isn’t a trash can, though. Many women dream of marrying him, but he
just fools around with them.”
Casting aside Chester’s behavior, he was actually charming in many aspects. Firstly, he had a unique identity, and
secondly, God gave him a flawless face and model-like physique. Even his medical skills were said to be the most

outstanding in Australia. 1 In the face of such a love rival, as someone from a small town, Max felt inferior.
However, charity did not agree with him entirely. “ You’re right, but why should I believe he would be faithful to me
after learning my true identity?”
Max was stunned. He subconsciously said, “You’re wonderful. Any man who’s in a relationship with you will treasure
you-”
“When you’re not yet with the woman, you’ll see her as wonderful.”
Charity interrupted him. Then, she twisted open the cap of the water bottle and took a sip of water. “But once you
manage to pursue and be with her, you might think differently.”
“Of course not.” Max suddenly said in a solemn tone, “If I’m in a relationship, I’ll definitely marry the woman. I’ll
love her, treat her well, and be loyal to her forever.”
Charity was stunned for a moment.
After being quiet for a while, she slowly closed the bottle cap, and her eyes settled on him. “Max, I actually went to
see a psychologist after Sarah died. The doctor said I have an affective disorder. Do you understand what that
means? It means I don’t know how to fall in love with someone. I treat relationships coldly. I’ve long since

understood your intention, but I’m like ice. I can’t reciprocate your feelings.”
Max was dumbfounded, his eyes filled with shock and bewilderment, “why... why have you not mentioned it
before?”
“That’s why I’ve always treated you as just a friend.” Charity said, “I can’t give you the love you want. If my mental
health were in good shape, I would surely be willing to take a step forward, considering that you treat me so well.
Nevertheless, my heart is like dead water.”
“Well... You can probably get treated,” Max said.
Only after half a minute did Charity reply to his question, “I don’t want to get treated. I think I’m
fine this way, so please don’t have feelings for me anymore. I can’t reciprocate.”
Max forced a laugh, “charity, listen to me. when I was young, I saw you as a young lady who
was out of my reach. You always looked so pure and tidy in your pretty dress in the courtyard.
All I could do then was silently watch and protect you from behind. Later, when you went away, I

told myself that I would one day be able to walk up to you proudly in a clean set of clothes and
with the same status as you.
“I’ve never fallen in love with anyone since I was young. Even the girls I would look at looked like
you. Since my academic performance was average, I knew I couldn’t get into a good university,
so I chose to do military service.
“But as an ordinary soldier without any background, I would never get promoted, and that was
why I chose to go overseas. I once did something meritorious in a dangerous situation and stood
out among the rest, but even so, there was only one thought in my mind.
“I wanted to walk up to charity and say to her, ‘I’m Max. Do you remember me?”’
Charity’s heart clenched. After a long time, she said, “ Thank you, but you’re out of my league.
You deserve someone better.”
With that, she pushed the door open and got out of the car.
However, Max got out of the car as well. Under the moonlight, his face was clear and bare.
“Charity, you might think you’re dirty, but you’re always the purest in my mind. You said you
don’t know how to love someone, but that’s fine. I’ll protect you forever, and we don’t have to
get married. When you get old, I can look after you. We can be best friends and neighbors.”
