Ashes on the Line Chapter 9
I shook my head and stripped away the last bit of hope she had.Just as she had done to me before.Evelyn's face went deathly pale. I said calmly, "I'll send you the divorce papers."Then I went home.My phone rang the moment I arrived.I thought it was work, so I answered and said hello twice, but no one responded.Just as I was about to hang up, Evelyn's hoarse voice sounded.It wasn't the young voice from earlier.I hadn't expected that I would still receive a call from future Evelyn.[Ryan, why won't you forgive her?]After my emotions had drained away, I was especially clear-headed.I asked her in return, "You wanted the present Evelyn to come find me because the me from five years later would never forgive you, right?"Evelyn laughed softly. There was desolation in the sound.[Ryan, you're still so smart.][Then you should know that everything I did was to win you back and make up for our tragedy.]Including making me save Marcus's daughter so she could settle thin

Ryan's POVEvelyn finally found me through the source of the transfers I had been sending my parents.That day, I had just finished printing some documents when my boss stopped me and pointed out the window.I looked over casually.Evelyn stood across the street like a black shadow.The moment our eyes met, she ignored the traffic and rushed across the road.I frowned, nothing but impatience in my eyes.My boss gently took the documents from my hand."I heard a crazy woman has been looking for someone around here. She looks hard to deal with. Go home early through the back door."I thanked him gratefully and left through the back.But before I had gone far, Evelyn caught my hand with trembling fingers.I sighed and looked back at her."Evelyn, I did everything you said. What else do you want?"Her eyes were bloodshot."No. I didn't want this. I'm sorry, Ryan.""I know everything now. What my future self did to you, and Daisy..."The moment she mentioned Daisy, I lost co

After Marcus and Chloe were sent away, the four-thousand-square-foot apartment suddenly felt empty.Evelyn woke in the middle of the night and stared at the empty side of the bed.She walked to the kitchen. The place was so quiet she could hear her own footsteps echo.Every trace of Ryan and Daisy was almost gone from the house.She sat down, clutching her head as the pain grew worse and worse.Her phone rang.It was her future self. Evelyn irritably wanted to hang up.But the person on the other end spoke bluntly.[Have you looked for Ryan's parents?]Evelyn's hand stopped.[Go find them. The reason Ryan listened to me was that I threatened him with his parents.][I wronged them. Apologize to them for me.]Then she hung up.Evelyn felt as though she had grasped a faint thread of hope. She quickly booked a ticket back to Ryan's hometown.Before leaving, she went to Daisy's memorial portrait.She wiped the dustless frame again and again.It was as if doing so could let h

Evelyn used every resource she had to find him.But because of that clarification video, Ryan was being cursed across the internet.Finding him became even harder.At last, she found only one surveillance clip from near the mall.In the footage, Ryan looked thin enough to be blown away by a gust of wind.The heavy bundle of flowers and letters in his arms seemed like stones dragging him down.Watching him kneel at the ruins and leave those offerings, Evelyn was seized by the terrifying feeling that he no longer had any attachment left in the world.She struggled to speak. "Why did Ryan go there?"Her assistant gently reminded her."That day was one week after Daisy's death."Evelyn's mind exploded, and for a long time, she said nothing.She touched her face. Her fingertips were wet.Only then did she realize she had been crying without knowing it.She had always been emotionally detached. Even when facing tragedy, she hadn't cried.But now, Evelyn finally felt the piercin

Third-Person POV[I only told you to keep him safe and look after him.][Who knows what you did?]Evelyn couldn't help recalling all the things she had done, and irritation surged inside her.Her future self sounded equally frantic as everything slipped out of control.[He can't leave me. Your side is affecting the future.]Evelyn's brows drew together."Didn't you say my timeline would not affect yours?"The person on the other end took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.[Everything before has changed. Who knew he would be the one affected?]Evelyn heard that something was wrong and became anxious."What about Daisy? Is Daisy still alive?"Five years in the future, Evelyn gave a cold laugh.[Isn't she still in that correction camp? Ryan even lied to me and said Daisy died...]Evelyn gripped the phone hard."No. Daisy really is dead.""Ryan led the rescue team to save Chloe. Daisy wasn't rescued in time. She's already been cremated."The voice on the other en

Evelyn jerked her hand back."What are you talking about? How is that possible? I wasn't even at the scene.""It was you from five years in the future. She called me again."Evelyn scoffed."Ryan, even if you don't want to take responsibility, you don't need to invent a lie like that."I stared at her and smiled bitterly."Evelyn, if it really was you who caused Daisy's death because of Marcus, what would you do?"Evelyn looked at me with absolute conviction, as if afraid I would not hear each word clearly."I would never do that."My gaze fell on a dead tree outside the window."If only that were true."Evelyn locked me in that hospital room.Unless I agreed to clear Marcus's name.It wasn't as though I hadn't tried.When I refused food, Evelyn had people force a feeding tube into me.When I posted nonsense online, she cut off my calls with my parents.The camera in the corner glowed red with terror day and night.Whenever I showed the slightest abnormal behavior, som
