Life After You Chapter 8
Xander growled, "Back then, Fran trusted your words and abandoned everything just to be with you! And what did you do in return? Not only did you refuse to investigate the truth, but you also trapped her like a prisoner in this cage, parading woman after woman in front of her!"He grew angrier as he spoke, raising his fist to punch Elijah, but I quickly stopped him. "Calm down, honey." I patted Xander's back and stood on my tiptoes to kiss his face, and he immediately stopped moving as his ears slowly turned red. Seeing us act so intimately, Elijah sank helplessly to the ground, looking at me with teary eyes. "Fran, I know I was wrong. I let anger control me and became violent with you. But these past three years, I've realized that everything I had was because of you. You were so good to me... I was just blinded before." Elijah hung his head low and closed his eyes, adding, "I didn't know I had hurt you so deeply. I was acting the whole time, wanting to hear you apologize t
Life After You Chapter 7
After fooling around with Xander, we held hands and closed our eyes, returning to my old house. It seemed that environments truly affected people. As soon as I came back, I immediately felt somewhat downcast. Xander noticed this and held my hand to comfort me.I shook my head and told him I was fine. Then, I pulled him along as we toured my old house. To my surprise, the things I'd thrown away before had now been restored to their original state. This was also true for that specific necklace.I didn't know how Elijah had managed to create an identical necklace, nor did I want to know. I just felt somewhat guilty as I held the hand of the man beside me.Just as Xander and I were both lost in our own thoughts, someone suddenly opened the door and walked in with rushed footsteps, stumbling in and collapsing on the floor. He held a bottle of alcohol in his hand, recklessly pouring the liquid down his throat. It was Elijah.Looking at him now, I felt a sense of unfamiliarity. Even
Life After You Chapter 6
When I woke up, the first thing I saw was my parents sitting beside me, their faces filled with worry. Seeing me awake, both of them started crying."You're finally awake, sweetheart. You've been unconscious at home for three days... We were scared out of our minds!"I looked at my parents' familiar yet distant faces, and the weight on my heart finally lifted. I was finally home, where I belonged. The system chimed gently in my mind. "Fran, Mr. Thomson's illness has been cured. Time flows differently between that world and this one. The six more years you stayed there only took three days here. I've disguised your loss of consciousness as low blood sugar. Go ahead and spend some time with your parents."Overjoyed, I burst into laughter and called out, "Mom, Dad!" I jumped to my feet and hugged them both, refusing to let go. If it weren't for Elijah, I would have come back long ago to loving parents and the privileged life of a wealthy heiress. I wouldn't have had to endu

At this moment, the doorbell rang. Elijah immediately rushed downstairs and opened the door, his face brightly lit with a triumphant smile. "I knew you were just messing with me—"However, he froze when he saw who was actually there. It was a deliveryman, holding a package."Delivery for Mr. Morris."Elijah's face twitched as he silently accepted the package and returned inside in a daze. He opened the package to find a videotape and a small locked box inside.On the box, a line of delicate handwriting read, "The one I love most will know the password."Feeling confident, Elijah inputted his own birthday. However, the box didn't open, leaving him momentarily stunned. Next, he tried his phone passcode, his safe combination, and even my birthday. Yet, none of them worked. Elijah sank to the floor in confusion. He forced himself to ignore the box and play the videotape first. "Please, Fran. I'm begging you. I don't want to be with Elijah... I didn't think it through whe
Life After You Chapter 4
"Francesca Thomson!" Elijah rushed toward my lifeless body, panic written all over his face as he frantically tried to cover my spurting wound with his hands.However, there was no response. All he could feel was the heat draining from my skin with every second that passed."Francesca? Say something! Why would you do something so stupid?"Just as Elijah finished speaking, he watched my body slowly fade into nothing before his very eyes. The weight in his arms suddenly vanished, leaving him frozen in place.He maintained the same position for a long time after. It was as if he was still holding me close.Eventually, someone knocked on the door, and a sweet voice called out, "Eli, you've been gone so long. I miss you so much already." Abigail giggled and placed her hand on her stomach. "Our baby misses you too."However, Elijah's eyes remained fixed on her face. The redness and swelling from the allergic reaction were gone, and her skin was now perfectly smooth. He stood up sha

I thought Elijah had rushed over because of me. But instead, he gently caressed Abigail's hand and asked her, "Does your hand hurt? You need to be more careful next time."Then, he turned and looked at me coldly. The look in his eyes told me that I was the outsider here. He said indifferently, "Abby must've had reasons for doing this. Did you make her angry again? You vicious woman, can't you just leave her alone?" I clutched my throat and looked at him, quietly asking, "Where are my parents' graves?"For a moment, Elijah seemed flustered. Then, he spoke with slight guilt. "This is prime real estate, and Abby deserves to live here. Your parents wouldn't mind. Think of it as paying back the debt you owe me and Abby. Their urns are inside. I'll get them for you." I had no intention of arguing with them. I just wanted to take my parents' urns back home—my real home.Abigail grabbed my hand and glared at me hatefully. "You know, if you'd just died, things wouldn't be so difficult
