It's a Long Way to Her Heart Chapter 8
Looking at Mark, drained of all life and energy, Raymond could only sigh and continued with resignation, "It is what it is. Regretting it now won't change anything. Just live well and raise your daughter."With that, he turned and left, leaving Mark and Joanne alone in the quiet house.He suddenly pulled her into his arms. "Joanne, Mommy went off on her own. She must be feeling very lonely, right? Should we keep her company? At least the three of us will be together."Normally lively and mischievous, Joanne didn't fully understand what he meant at first. The moment she heard they were going to be with me, her face lit up with excitement."I'll do anything as long as I can be with Mommy."Mark finally cracked a tiny, genuine smile. "Alright, then. Let's go see Mommy now."He took her hand and started walking toward the river near the edge of the village, not far from the house. I was lost in the view when the system's voice echoed in my ears again."Eunice, you may make a choice

Mark was heartbroken. "Mr. Green, I can't find Eunice. Can you help me? We can get the villagers together to search for her. She… She means everything to us. We can't lose her!"Raymond let out a long sigh as he looked at Mark's pale, panicked face. "You've got a good job, a good wife, and you still can't get your head straight… Sit tight at home for now. At first light, I'll see what I can do."Mark finally eased a little. He hadn't slept for two whole nights. Instead of resting in his room, he sat upright in the living room, waiting for Raymond to bring him news.No matter how much the others tried to persuade him, he ignored them completely.Even when the police came to take Hayley away, he didn't step out of the room. Joanne stayed right by his side the entire time, waiting with him for news of me.Everyone who saw how stubborn they were couldn't help but feel a complicated mix of emotions.It wasn't until evening that Raymond came rushing back from the county. Mark's bloodsh

Seeing that Mark wasn't having it, Hayley slowly shifted into an unkind demeanor."Is this how you treat me after all I've been through? I just got beaten up by the villagers and dragged through the streets for everyone to see. Don't you think you owe me a little kindness?"Without caring that Joanne was present, she lunged straight at him.Bound by society's strict ethical standards, Hayley had never taken this final step before. But with all the anger she had been holding in, and after Mark's earlier coldness, the mask of obedience she always wore finally slipped.She had to have him. Otherwise, her life was over.Mark's face turned grim. He seized her hands and questioned, "What the hell are you doing?"Desperation twisted Hayley's visage. "I'm trying to force myself on you! Do you expect me to face punishment alone? You're a man—things will be different for you, and you can protect me!"Seeing this, Joanne burst into loud, wailing cries. "Ms. Larkson, don't fight with my dad

There was no one around. Only the wind stirred gently, as if whispering back to his words.For the next two days, Mark searched for me like a man possessed. He combed the entire village, but found no trace of me anywhere.On the third day, every household in Cooperville received a congratulatory card.The moment Mark saw it, he was stunned. His voice trembled as he muttered, "H-How could Eunice think this way? I've only ever loved her. Hayley was just a sister!"As for Hayley, an outsider of the village, she was beaten by furious locals until her face was bruised and swollen. Then, she was tied up and paraded through the streets.Even then, Mark continued looking for me. He didn't see her at all.He searched the village first, then the town, and finally the county. He checked every place I might have appeared. Of course, the search was unfruitful.Exhaustion settled deep into his face. Joanne, who had been searching alongside him, began to feel despair. Her tiny voice asked, "Da

On the way back to the 21st century, the system, worried I might get bored, started playing scenes from the mission world. I had already completely given up on Mark and Joanne, so I didn't resist at all.I leaned in, watching closely.Mark had just walked Hayley home. She wanted him to stay for a meal and to clean the blood off his uniform, but he seemed restless for some reason. He grabbed her hand."I'm glad you're safely home, but I really have to go, Hayley. Eunice will start worrying otherwise."In his mind, he kept replaying the afternoon at House of Wish when he had told me he would take care of Hayley. Usually, anytime I heard Hayley's name, I would show a little irritation.Today, on such an important day, my reaction had been unusually calm—enough that thinking back on it made him a little uneasy. That was why he couldn't wait to leave with Joanne. He wanted to see if I had noticed anything.Hayley was a little thrown by his sudden move. "Isn't it still early? Why would

"Okay."After dinner, I went to the crematorium. After hearing what I said, the staff looked at me with clear pity in their eyes. "Miss, you look so young… Are you really arranging your own funeral?"I nodded calmly. "Yeah. For myself. My time of death is in one hour. You can go to Community Hospital to collect my body directly. After cremation, just scatter the ashes wherever."They looked stunned, confused by how clearly I spoke about my own death. After a moment, they asked hesitantly, "Shouldn't you… inform your family about something like this?"Since I had already decided to cut ties with Mark and Joanne, how could I trouble them with handling my corpse? If it delayed their time with Hayley, that would be rather inconsiderate of me.Besides, I didn't think they would have time to care whether I lived or died.My expression stayed calm. "I don't think so… It'll only trouble them. Anyway, thank you for your help. I do need one more favor, though. Please prepare 300 copies of
