Chapter 15

작가: Lumi Here
The drive back was quiet.

Edith kept her hands on the steering wheel.

After a long silence, she finally asked in a soft voice, "Now that Elvira has come looking for you in person, are you going to go back to her?"

There was faint, almost imperceptible sadness in her voice.

Lance watched the lights streak past outside the window, his tone so calm that it was impossible to tell what he was feeling.

"Edith, you probably know the gist of what happened. What I lost can't be made up for with a si

  • Under the Sky, We Break Apart   Chapter 21

    It was a mixture of fear, anxiety, and profound love.Elvira had thought she still had a chance. She had believed that as long as she refused to let go and kept Lance by her side, she could win his heart back over time.But when Lance broke free of his restraints and threw himself into the raging winds without hesitation, the realization that she had lost him hit her with devastating finality.No matter what she did, how desperately she begged, or how crazily she acted, his gaze would never linger on her for even a second.All he felt for her now was hatred.She had brought all of this upon herself, and there was no way to make amends.Something warm slipped unexpectedly from the corner of her eye.Only now did she understand what it meant for a heart to die.Hurried footsteps approached from behind her, but she didn't turn around.Owen's weary voice rang out, tinged with reluctance and pity."Elvira, it's over."Several officers in dark uniforms stepped forward and presente

  • Under the Sky, We Break Apart   Chapter 20

    Elvira whipped around to look at Lance. His face was pale, his lips pressed into a tight line, and deep in his eyes lay a fear he tried desperately to hide.Yes, the thunderstorm that had made Lance bleed from every orifice and torn his fighter jet apart…Just as Elvira was reeling from the shock, a bolt of lightning ripped through the dense clouds ahead and struck straight toward them."Look out!" Lance shouted, his voice breaking.In the blink of an eye, Edith's fighter jet suddenly shot in from the side at an impossible angle, throwing itself between the black fighter jet and the bolt of lightning.A deafening roar erupted, accompanied by a blinding flash of white light.Lance's pupils contracted sharply.He had seen Edith's fighter jet take a direct hit from the lightning. It then spun wildly out of control before plummeting toward the pitch-black mountain forest below."No!"For one terrible instant, his heart stopped.No! Not her! It couldn't be Edith!In that instant,

  • Under the Sky, We Break Apart   Chapter 19

    "I can't go back without you," Elvira said hoarsely. "Lance, I truly love you. Without you, every day feels meaningless to me."Love? Looking at her pained expression, Lance found the very idea absurd and laughable.After all, love that came too late wasn't worth a damn."We still have a future together," Elvira said hurriedly, as though clinging to the last straw. "I know we lost a baby, but we can have another one—a whole lot of them! I'll be a good mother. We can have a family—""That's enough!" Lance shot to his feet. "You have no right to bring up the baby when you're one of the murderers who killed him!"He delivered each word with absolute conviction. "As for having a family, of course I want one. But it will never be with you."With that, he turned away and strode out without sparing her another glance.Elvira sat frozen, watching helplessly as he pushed through the door and walked toward the curb.A black sedan was parked there. The window rolled down, revealing Edith'

    Lance looked at the utterly wretched Elvira before him, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile."I won't forgive you because you don't deserve it." His voice was quiet but perfectly clear. "As for my personal life, it has nothing to do with you anymore. You have no right to question anyone here.""Nothing to do with me?" The words struck Elvira like a blade through the heart. She lunged toward him, only to forget about her injuries.She suddenly lunged toward him, but in her haste, she forgot about her injuries. She stumbled and crashed heavily to the floor. Even then, she struggled to lift her head, her eyes fixed stubbornly on him."Lance, look at me! Just look at me! We were engaged, and we had a baby! How can you just turn around and be with someone else?"Lance's voice turned ice-cold. "You have no right to bring up the baby."Edith had someone help Elvira to her feet. The gesture was polite on the surface, but it was also a clear attempt to send her away."Ms.

  • Under the Sky, We Break Apart   Chapter 17

    In the wake of the unexpected incident and the psychological toll it had taken, Edith ordered Lance to take a week off.During that week, the nightmares he'd thought were long behind him came flooding back.The flames, the explosions, the sensation of falling, and Elvira's final words—"Now I understand how much pain you were in"—all dragged him into a suffocating abyss whenever the night grew quiet.Edith moved into the guest room next door. She claimed it was because she was worried about him and wanted to be nearby in case he needed anything.However, Lance knew there was more to it than that.He could feel the concern and affection in her gaze growing clearer by the day. But for now, he couldn't reciprocate her feelings.…Late one night, Lance woke from another nightmare and sat on the edge of the bed. He was still struggling to catch his breath when there was a sudden soft knock at the door."Lance?" Edith's gentle voice came through the door. "Are you okay?"Instead of a

    On the radar, the blip representing Elvira's fighter jet suddenly accelerated wildly. It veered off course and hurtled straight toward a mountain peak ahead."Elvira, have you lost your mind?" Lance shouted, his heart lurching. "Pull up! You'll die!""If I survive this…" Elvira's voice grew indistinct in the rushing air, edged with the fanatical resolve of someone who had nothing left to lose. "Will you forgive me?"Lance didn't answer. He could only watch helplessly as the blip raced toward the mountainside.Elvira's final words came through the channel, so faint they sounded almost like a delirious murmur."I've done wrong, and I have to pay for it."A deafening explosion shook the mountainside, sending flames and thick smoke billowing into the air.Lance's mind went completely blank.His instincts as a pilot overpowered all his hatred and resentment. He reacted almost instantly, shoving the control stick forward and diving toward the crash site."This is Lance Archer!" He s
