My Husband Regrets Handing Over Our Ticket To Survival

The other person did not hesitate at all. “Of course.”I cautiously asked, “Can you please prepare two tickets for Noah’s Ark? I want to be among the first to leave with my mother.”Even getting a ticket was nearly impossible.The person could not promise me anything. He just said, “I’ll try my best.”After I hung up, Sebastian Jenkins pushed the door open, stepping in just as he caught sight of my phone screen.“Who were you talking to?”I could not be bothered to lie. I said in an exhausted tone, “I was looking for someone to get a ticket for me.”Sebastian did not even look at me as he casually said, “There are only a few hundred tickets to the base. You won’t get one, or I would have already found a way.”I gripped my phone tighter.He knew it was nearly impossible, but he still gave up on me without hesitation to take his master’s student along.Only when he noticed my silence did he raise his head.“Rose, don’t be upset. I’ve applied for a place in the second batch for

A huge weight had finally been lifted off my heart.But the bedroom door did not open again.Sebastian stayed in the living room. He had a long discussion with Vivien about the problems of the apocalypse.I could already imagine the excuses he would give if I stepped out.It would be either a scientific discussion or teacher-student communication.I had heard it too many times. It was the same old stuff.I did not even have the strength to open the door.I decided to let it go. It was the apocalypse. In this heat, every surge of anger felt like heartburn. I needed to conserve my strength to get my mother out alive.When life and death were at stake, love did not seem so important anymore.Eventually, I fell into a deep sleep.The next morning, Vivien was still there.She was sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast off my plate.When she saw me, she stood up stiffly and bowed politely.“Good morning, Rose. My… my air conditioner broke. I came over only this morning.

Mr. Cooper, the person in question, was Zane Cooper, whose name had always made Sebastian jealous. Years later, Sebastian heard that name again.Sebastian’s calm facade broke apart, and a vein bulged at his temple. “Rose, explain to me why you’re still in contact with him!”I pulled open the vehicle door.This time, it was my turn to be indifferent. “I just want to survive. If you won’t help me, someone else will.”The vehicle drove away without bothering with Sebastian’s hysterics.My mother felt anxious. She asked, “Rose, aren’t Sebastian and that girl getting in?”I said, “Mom, don’t worry. They’ll take the next one. This is ours.”My mother was silent for a while, then gently patted my back.“Are you and Sebastian fighting? Don’t be sad. I’m here for you.”I bit my lip. The tears I had held back for days finally spilled over.Three days later, Noah’s Ark arrived at the Arctic base.Here, the heat had not yet reached. It felt like the last untouched land on Earth.Seba

After repeated discussions, the cause of the scorching apocalypse was confirmed: extreme solar activity had triggered a superflare, making the sun burn nearly twenty times brighter than normal.“How long will it last?”“Based on our preliminary observations, the superflare’s effects will continue for about two more years.”The researchers present all looked grim.The Arctic base could only hold around 10,000 people, but billions of people across the continents had nowhere to go.The urgent task was to develop heat-shielding materials or build underground shelters to survive the two-year solar upheaval.Sebastian was an astrophysicist. He stepped forward to volunteer. “Mr. Cooper, I’ll take charge. This falls within my expertise.”Zane, always strict about separating personal matters from professional ones, nodded.Sebastian listed a few people, including Vivien.In the end, he looked at me. “Rose, join us.”I raised my hands to dismiss the idea. “Sorry. That’s not my field.”
