All Chapters of The Road Back Buried in Snow: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

During those days, Joanna Cross, who almost never posted on social media, suddenly began flooding everyone's feed.In the photos, she and Adrian Shaw appeared in pretty cafes, atmospheric streets, dessert shops, and craft studios.The woman who was usually quiet and bad at expressing herself wrote captions so emotional they seemed to bleed.[One hundred things couples must do. We did them before, but baby forgot, so I will do them all with him again. Getting him back is too precious. As long as it is his wish, even if I have to die, I will make it happen for him.]Those were things I had always wanted to do with Joanna.But every time I brought them up, she said I was childish. She mocked me for being a grown man who liked such girly nonsense. She said she was busy. Without exception, she turned me down.So it had never been the activities she hated.It had been me.I laughed bitterly at myself as pain tore through my chest.With trembling hands, I called Joanna. I wanted to a

I reached for the medicine Dr. Wells had prescribed and placed it under my tongue, but this time, it did not work.The pain was unbearable.My hands and feet went ice-cold, and it felt as if all the air had been sucked out of the room.I did not even have the strength to answer.Joanna lifted me into her arms."Wasn't he already better? Why is it this serious?"Then she called Dr. Wells.She asked anxiously, "Why is Mason in pain?"I only heard Dr. Wells say, "His condition has stabilized. He should not be hurting anymore unless he is pretending."Joanna fell silent.After she hung up, her phone rang. I saw it clearly. It was a message from Adrian.Joanna glanced at it and stood up without hesitation."I have to go."I called her name."Joanna."Thousands of words were trapped in my chest.I wanted to ask her why she believed a doctor but not me.Why she turned a blind eye to my pain.Why she chose Adrian again and again.But I had no strength to ask any of it.Joan

Suddenly, a friend request popped up.He introduced himself as Adrian Shaw and went straight to the point.[Are you the wedding officiant Jo mentioned that day?]At the old family house that day, Joanna had indeed introduced me that way.I did not reply.Adrian continued sending messages.[Wedding officiant, I am getting married in ten days. Do you have time to come to my place? We need to rehearse. My wife is pregnant, so there are a lot of things I should explain to you in advance.]The words stabbed my eyes.I touched my already numb heart and replied:[Okay.]In ten days, I would prepare a generous gift for them.The phone screen went dark, then lit up again. It kept ringing.Adrian sent the wedding time, the venue, and his wedding photos.Adrian smiled like a blooming flower.Joanna stood beside him, her whole body wrapped in a soft glow I could not describe.Dozens of photos, all filled with smiles.They proved the saying true: marrying the person you love makes y

"Joanna, congratulations on your wedding.""By the time you see this video, I will already be dead. I no longer care who was right or wrong. I only want to tell you that I hate you. I hate you so much. If there is a next life, I never want to see you again."His voice before death was hollow, painful, cold, and weightless, like a judgment echoing from hell.Joanna's face turned deathly pale. She suddenly looked up at the giant screen."Mason!" she cried out, her voice trembling.Then she drove away at full speed.No one dared stop the car. Joanna pressed the gas to the floor and reached the studio as fast as she could.By then, the studio had already been surrounded by police.Joanna tried to rush inside but was stopped."Ma'am, this is the scene of a death. You cannot enter."Joanna was about to lose her temper, but one sentence from the housekeeper drenched her in ice."Joanna, sir is already gone. His body has been cremated. His ashes are hidden somewhere you will never k
