The Day I Went Dark, My Family Broke Chapter 10
After our wedding, life was peaceful and happy.Since I was past the age to have children, we decided to adopt a little girl from the orphanage. She was sensible and well-mannered.Soon, Jacob and I returned to our work in the lab. Our days passed in quiet contentment.Three years later, I received a call from Ryan. He told me Lucian was gravely ill and didn't have long to live. His last wish was to see me one more time.I hesitated for a long while. After discussing it with Jacob, I finally went to the hospital with a basket of fruit.On the bed lay Lucian, frail and pale, unable to eat because of the medication. His whole body was thin and dry like a husk. It was hard to believe this was once a man so full of vigor.The moment he saw me, a faint light returned to his hollow eyes."You came..." he said, voice barely above a whisper."Yes," I replied calmly."All these years, I owed you..." Lucian signaled Ryan to take a box from the drawer.Inside was a necklace meant for ou

Jacob and I held our wedding soon after.When the last guests had left and we were about to go, I noticed two familiar figures hiding behind a tree. They were Lucian and Ryan.The staff said they had been there the whole time, watching the ceremony from a distance.Lucian was in a wheelchair. The moment my gaze met his, his expression wavered between joy and nervousness.Ryan immediately pushed him over to me.At the sight of me in a wedding gown, Lucian's eyes glistened. "You look beautiful today," he said hoarsely."Thank you," I replied politely."I still remember our wedding day. You wore a white gown too. I slipped the ring onto your finger myself. Back then, you...""That's enough." I cut him off. "Today is my wedding day. I don't want my happiest moment tainted by memories of an unhappy past."My words hit him like a blade. He had hoped to bring back a memory of something beautiful, but to me, those days were nothing but bitter.Seeing he had no intention of leaving, I

12 years later, I saw Lucian again.I had completed the experiment that my parents never finished, achieving groundbreaking results.We carried on their dream, applying the research to national defense technology, making a great contribution to the country.From time to time, I heard news about Lucian.After I left, Lucian had fallen into alcoholism, drinking himself into a stupor every day. Later, a drunk-driving accident cost him a leg, leaving him to walk only with a prosthetic.Ryan didn't fare much better, juggling school and part-time work while caring for his disabled father.Chloe's attempted murder was exposed. Since she was underage, she received a lighter sentence.But once the news broke, she became a public target, mocked by classmates and cornered by thugs in an alley. No one knew exactly what happened there.At sunrise the next day, her body lay cold in the snow.None of this concerned me anymore.When I returned to the city where I once lived, a familiar voice

From that day on, Lucian seemed to lose his mind, scouring every corner of the world for me. But my work was a classified research project. There was no way he could simply track me down.He sent Chloe back to the countryside and took Ryan with him, drifting from country to country.For months, Lucian's nerves were strung so tight it was frightening. The bloodshot look in his eyes was unsettling and almost eerie, and even his body had grown noticeably thinner.They slept and ate in the car, spending every other waking hour chasing the faintest trace of me.However, the research facility I was in had top-tier security. There was no way he could ever find me.Then, a thought struck him. The day I left, I had called him. What if Chloe had answered? She might know something.The idea sparked a glimmer of light in his hollow eyes. He turned the car toward her rural hometown.As they neared the village, the winter night offered no streetlamps, only the dim reflection of snow lighting

Something inside Lucian's head snapped. He could no longer hear anything from the other end of the line."Sarah called you before she left. How could you not know?" Jonathan's voice finally snapped Lucian out of his confusion."No. I never got her call," he replied.There was no way a relationship of over ten years could just end like that. Which meant I couldn't have left. I must still be here.But Jonathan's next words hit him like a bucket of cold water. "I'm certain it was Saturday afternoon. I saw her call you."Lucian's mind raced. That day, Chloe had been playing with his phone, which meant it had been his one and only chance to speak to me, and he'd missed it.He dropped to his knees, nearly breaking apart.It was his fault. He had taken me for granted. He had lost the only person who had ever truly loved him."No... No, it's fine. Ten years is nothing. I can wait. If Sarah comes back, I don't care if it's ten years or 20 years. I'll wait."That thought lit something i
The Day I Went Dark, My Family Broke Chapter 5
It was the day I entered the classified research facility, and the director, Jonathan Hanson, told us we could make one last phone call home.Around me, colleagues pulled out their phones, saying their goodbyes to family.I figured that since we had once been husband and wife, I should at least say a parting word, so I dialed Lucian's number.But the voice that came through wasn't Lucian's—it was Chloe's bright and cheerful voice. "Hi, Aunt Sarah. Do you need something?"I frowned. "Where's Lucian?"In a sweet tone, she said, "Uncle Lucian's taking us on the Ferris wheel right now, so he can't answer your call."I pressed my lips together, not saying anything.She seemed to sense my silence and mistook it for irritation, because her voice grew even more smug. "So, this is where you got married, huh? It's so pretty. Uncle Lucian promised to bring me to see the fireworks here in Feanland. He said these were your favorites. Such a shame you can't see them."I drew in a deep breath
