<h4>Chapter 478: Chapter 478: The onlooker sees more clearly than the involved</h4>


    "I came here to eat, didn’t expect to run into you."


    It’s been a while since Scarlett Yates and Ste have seen each other.


    After starting their internships, the hospitals they worked at were quite far apart, with one in the south of the city and one in the north, so even though they were in the same city, it took about two hours tomute.


    So ever since they left school for their internships, they hadn’t met up, only asionally calling to catch up on each other’s lives.


    The moment Scarlett saw Max Quinn, she was a bit surprised.


    She didn’t know when Ste started seeing Max, because during their most recent call, Ste hadn’t mentioned anything about it to her.


    Thinking about being seen in such an embarrassing situation by her best friend, Ste pulled a wry smile and said, "I didn’t expect to run into you here either, especially at such a shameful moment."


    Max’s coldness and heartlessness brought a dark look to Ste’s eyes once again.


    The man she once thought worthy of entrusting everything to and who she was willing to give everything for, had changed his heart in just a month.


    During the time he was pursuing her, he clearly said he liked her straightforward and outgoing personality the most, andpared to those pretentious women he had met, she was much more adorable and genuine.


    He also said that it was love at first sight for him, and from the moment he saw her, he knew she was the woman who would apany him for the rest of his life.


    He promised to treat her well, he promised he would never let her down, he even said if he ever changed his heart or wronged her, then he should be struck by lightning and die a terrible death.


    She knew a man’s promises were not to be trusted, she also knew that men who are skilled at sweet talk are the least trustworthy, yet she foolishly believed him hoping he would be an exception.


    But reality showed her howughable, naive, and childish her thoughts were.


    It’s easy to be wise on behalf of others and confused on one’s own matters; when advising others, she was so rational and persuasive, analyzing everything as if it were the truth, but when she got emotionally involved, she became muddled.


    Seeing Ste looking despondent, still seemingly engulfed in pain, Scarlett grabbed her hand fiercely and said, "Ste, how can you say you’re ashamed? You did nothing wrong! If anyone should be ashamed, it’s that shameless man!"


    "Scarlett, do you think I shouldn’t date at all? Why is it that every time I date someone, I get betrayed? Simon Lee was like this, and now Max Quinn, too. Is Heaven just determined that I will never find someone who truly loves me?"


    "Ste, how can you think like that? You’re a wonderful, wonderful girl. Whoever gets to be with you is blessed. You just happened to meet the wrong people."


    "I’m not as great as you say." Ste thought again of Max’s hurtful words, and her eyes darkened even more.


    Max said there was nothing attractive about her and even suggested she spend money on cosmetic surgery.


    Was she really such a failure?


    Yet when he chased her, wasn’t he constantly praising her, saying she was the most beautiful and adorable woman?


    It’s terrifying how a man can change once his heart wavers.


    The woman they once imed to be the most beautiful and adorable can, in the blink of an eye, be the most worthless in their eyes.


    "Really, I’m not lying to you. You are really great. Back in school, there were so many guys who wanted to pursue you. Do you remember that transfer student in our ss? He had a crush on you the whole time."
