Semua Bab Gone For Good: Bab 1 - Bab 10

When I finally dragged my body, still wracked with lingering pain, out of the hospital, a torrential downpour suddenly began outside.Through the curtain of rain, I saw Susie holding tight to Mark’s waist.Mark’s face was red as he said awkwardly, “Susie, don’t be like this… I just had surgery and haven’t even showered yet. I’m a mess. What if—”“It’s fine. I don’t mind.” Susie’s voice was full of tenderness. “You’re different from Jason. You’ll always be the exception.”“But… Jason suffered so much pain for me…”Mark’s voice drifted faintly from inside the car. “What if he holds a grudge and, in a fit of anger, wants to break off the engagement with you? Then what?”“Hmph. Would he dare?” Susie laughed mockingly. “As an orphan with no parents, where could he go if he left the Chances?”The engine roared, and the black sedan sped away, splashing water as it disappeared into the rain.Cold rain soaked my entire body, yet I was already numb.For seven years, I had stayed by Susi

“No need,” I refused coldly. “Since it’s for Mark, if I get involved, that wouldn’t be very fair to him, wouldn’t you say?”Susie caught the hidden meaning in my words, and her expression darkened instantly.“Jason, I’m only giving Mark a little extra care because I’m worried his mood after surgery might affect his recovery. Why are you being so sarcastic?!”She rushed forward and gripped my wrist.“Stop pushing your luck, or don’t expect me to marry you!”“Whatever.” I let out a light laugh. “I’m leaving here soon anyway.”Hearing that, Susie’s pupils shrank sharply, and a flash of panic crossed her face.“Leaving? What do you mean? Where are you going?!”I forcefully pulled my hand back.“No comment,” I said faintly, then quickly went upstairs to my room.…Early the next morning, Susie took the initiative to knock on my door.Her expression was awkward, and her attitude was completely different from yesterday.“Jason, I was just angry yesterday. Don’t take it to heart,”

“He went out today dragging a suitcase, and you didn’t notice? Why didn’t you tell me?!” Susie raised her voice again.“I… I didn’t think that much…” the cleaner stammered. “Mr. Hamill was dressed very simply today. He was in casual clothes, so I thought the suitcase held the formal outfit he was going to change into for the wedding.”Getting such a useless answer, Susie collapsed onto the couch in frustration.She clawed at her hair, her emotions on the verge of breaking down.“Jason… Jason! Where on earth did you go?!”Suddenly, Susie thought of something.She hurriedly took out her phone and called my company.When the call connected, she forced herself to sound calm as she asked, “Hello… may I ask if Jason is still employed? Has he submitted a resignation or anything like that?”Before long, the sound of a keyboard came from the other end.“Our system shows that Jason is still an active employee. However, he applied for half a month of leave some time ago and is currentl

“Ah!”Susie writhed in pain on the operating table. “Stop… please stop!”It was only for less than ten seconds, but Susie could no longer bear it.Her face was pale as paper, tears and mucus smearing across it.When the pain finally ceased, Susie didn’t even have the strength to speak. She curled up on the table, gasping for breath.Even she had lost control of her lower body.“Just ten seconds,” Susie murmured to herself, trembling. “This kind of unbearable torture… I… I actually made Jason endure it for hours…”After experiencing everything herself, Susie finally understood the reason I had left.She staggered to her feet, ignoring the mess, and hurried home.Seeing the empty house, Susie suddenly slapped herself in a frenzy.“I’m such a beast… worse than any beast!” she screamed into the air. “Jason, I’m sorry… I really… I’ve failed you!”Tears blurred her vision.In the end, the chip that was meant to protect me had become a tool to hurt me.She kneeled on the floor, c

Once a rising star in the tech world, she fell from grace almost overnight.She sold her mansion and luxury cars, yet it still wasn’t enough to cover her massive debts.Eventually, her ID was seized by the court, turning her into someone who couldn’t even take a high-speed train.To escape her creditors, Susie stowed away on a deep-sea fishing vessel.In the stinking ship cabin, she worked eighteen hours a day.Her hands were cut and bleeding from the fishing nets, but at least she had food and lodging and could earn a meager wage.Five years slipped away without mercy.The once confident and ambitious woman had been completely eroded by the sea winds.Her skin had darkened, her eyes were dull, and she constantly carried the lingering stench of fish.On a rare day docked for supplies, Susie clutched the few wrinkled dollars she had saved, intending to buy a pack of cigarettes.As she passed a street corner, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in her line of sight.It was me.
