Ten hours later, a plane landed smoothly at Aurevik International Airport.

A pickup had been arranged at the airport, and he was taken straight to a local hospital.

Ash stood by the hospital window, gazing at the cedars and beech trees outside. The scenery was completely different from what he'd known in Zelvania, and it marked the beginning of a new life for him.

Before long, he had fully recovered.

Ash was a stranger in this place, with no one to turn to. Still, the warmth he drew from the gar

  • Who Will Grow Old With Me?   Chapter 22

    Jessica strode in, her face dark with anger. In a cold voice, she demanded, "Tell me. How long has this affair been going on? The doctor just told me the baby's deformity was caused by a sexually transmitted disease, and I thought... So it turns out you two are the ones with the problem."York and Natalie immediately went weak at the knees with fear. Natalie even tried to run, but she was no match for Jessica.If Jessica hadn't wanted to get her own hands dirty, she would have beaten Natalie half to death right then and there. Instead, she waited for the bodyguards to arrive before ordering them to drag Natalie away.Jessica stared coldly at York as he begged for mercy. "Don't worry. You did save my life once, after all, so I'll only throw her into the sea and let her experience the same agony Nathaniel once suffered. As for you, go to Sundara and rot there. Let the disease eat away at you until you're nothing but a stinking, festering mess!"With York finally facing the consequences o

  • Who Will Grow Old With Me?   Chapter 21

    Jessica practically snatched the letter from the maid's hands. Thinking it contained a clue he'd left for her, she hurriedly tore it open. But as she read, despair gradually filled her eyes.The letter was written in Zelvanian, in Ash's own hand. He had even signed it with the name Nathaniel Scott, using the same elegant handwriting as before. Yet his words were utterly calm and detached, as though he truly no longer felt the slightest affection for her."Jessica, let this be the end of it. Let me go, and set yourself free, too. If you ever loved Nathaniel, even just a little, then please do me this one favor and let him go."The letter was so brief that she could read it all at a glance. There were no accusations or resentment in his words. It was just a quiet farewell, one that meant they would never see each other again.Jessica clutched the thin sheet of paper tightly, laughing and crying as she stood there for a long time. The maid grew worried that the shock had driven her mad an

    The moment the door opened, a bone-chilling wind swept over Tessa, but she didn't hesitate. She walked outside with unruffled composure and didn't stop until she stood face-to-face with Jessica."Ms. Sullivan, why are you putting yourself through all this?"After everything she'd endured, Jessica had grown gaunt and haggard, looking nothing like the successful woman she'd once been. She gritted her teeth and snapped, "Nathaniel is my husband. We're not divorced yet.""No. He's Ash. Nathaniel is dead. You beat him savagely and then threw him into the sea to drown," Tessa reminded her calmly."I've learned pretty much everything about your history with Nathaniel. You were the one who wanted to have it both ways, and you chose York first. If that was your choice, you should be prepared to face the consequences of being abandoned. He's simply doing what you wanted to do yourself. Please respect his decision."With that, she extended a hand in a clear gesture of dismissal. Even when she saw

    The bodyguards stationed outside the ballroom were quick to read the situation. They had already brought the car as close to the entrance as possible. One now held an umbrella while the other opened the car door, making sure Tessa and Ash could get inside without getting soaked.But before the car door could close, someone rushed up to Ash through the wind and rain. It was Jessica, looking utterly disheveled.The bodyguards hadn't expected Jessica to return so soon after being thrown out once already. They hurried forward to stop her several yards away, but even that couldn't keep her desperate cries from carrying through the pouring rain."Nathaniel! It's me! Have you really forgotten everything we've been through together? We grew up together, and we've known each other for over twenty years. No one knows you better than I do, and no one knows me better than you. I was wrong about what happened before, but I didn't know it was you. Please, forgive me..."Jessica was drenched from hea

  • Who Will Grow Old With Me?   Chapter 18

    Jessica's voice faded into the distance as the bodyguards hurriedly dragged her away, but the mood had already been ruined, and there was no bringing it back.It wasn't until Tessa, seemingly oblivious to everyone around her, slipped the ring back onto Ash's ring finger that the guests' doubts were finally put to rest.What that crazy woman said had to be a lie. Otherwise, why would Tessa so solemnly propose to another woman's husband?Seeing this, the Harpers, who had still been harboring doubts, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, they could only feel genuine sympathy for the engaged couple and what they'd endured. It was such a shame that a romantic proposal had been ruined by a lunatic.Only Ash, standing on the stage, knew that everything Jessica had said was true.Before the proposal began, the sky had been somewhat overcast, but by Nordavia's winter standards, the weather had been surprisingly pleasant. By the time the ceremony was over, however, rain had begun to fall.Ash

  • Who Will Grow Old With Me?   Chapter 17

    Jessica had never built up a network of her own in Norvale, nor had she ever cultivated ties with anyone there. As a result, she was just an ordinary person with no influence or connections. If she wanted to find someone, she would have to start from scratch.But just when she finally managed to track down Ash, she unexpectedly learned that he was about to get engaged to someone else. She rushed to the venue without a moment to spare.In an instant, every eye in the room turned to Jessica, everyone wondering what on earth she was up to. The question asked during the ceremony was merely a formality. Who could be so socially clueless as to interrupt and object at a time like this?Jessica had worn herself ragged trying to find Ash, but she couldn't have cared less about how she looked. She looked at Ash, whose face had gone pale as though some terrible memory had come flooding back to him. Stepping forward, she said, "I'm sorry, Nathaniel. I've come to take you home."When she saw that h
