All Chapters of Leaving At The Start Of Spring: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Just like what Eleanor had told her, everything left in the apartment belonged to Summer. Jude did not leave anything behind, and it seemed like he had planned his exit a long time ago. Summer was covered in cold sweat as she collapsed onto the floor. Eleanor was frightened as she kept questioning Summer. “Did you have a fight? He couldn’t even walk anymore, why did you fight with him? Why did you piss him off?“It’s so cold, where could he go? Quick, think! If something happens to him, you’re going against the vows you made to his parents before their graves!“Quick, call him and apologize! Just be sincere. He’s a kind man, so he will definitely forgive you. Don’t just stand there!” To Summer, these words pierced through her heart like sharp daggers. She was ridden with shame. Her lips quivered as she panted. All she could think about was her secret. They had not fought. From the start, he did not show her how upset he was. Instead, he had suffered alone. He had vani

When she received the phone call from the city hall, Summer had been about to walk into her study and open the drawer next to the printer. She really had no clue where else to look for Jude. Suddenly, she recalled he seemed to have written a bucket list, so she prepared to gather some clues. It was then she started to look around for that list. However, when she heard what the staff told her, her hand froze on the handle. “Am I speaking to Ms. Blossom? Are you free now? Please come to the city hall, we have something that we’d like to check with you. It’s regarding your husband, Mr. Brown.” City hall?Summer’s breathing hitched when she heard the words. She felt extremely worried and flustered. She did not even change into her shoes as she rushed out of the house. Then, she got into the car and sped toward the city hall. When she reached the city hall, the surroundings felt familiar to her. After she got out of the car and walked toward the entrance, she recalled that

Summer had a really long dream. In her dream, she was four years old again. A new family moved in next door, and she met a young boy three months younger than her. He looked very quiet, but he actually had a bubbly personality. She would bring him to the playground. Even though he was doing his best to push her swing, she would request him to push her harder until she felt like she was flying. He would secretly buy a lot of snacks with his allowance and share half of them with her, claiming that these were the yummiest snacks in the whole world. When they got into trouble together, he would bravely own up to his mistakes to the adults. Even when the adults punished him, he still would not rat her out. He followed behind her every single day as they walked the streets. They grew up together, and their lifelong friendship turned romantic as they married each other. He sacrificed his bright future without any hesitation just to save her.He also made a vow to only love her

Wyatt went into the room for more than ten minutes before walking out with another staff member. Summer immediately felt uneasy when she saw that they were not holding anything in their hands. She struggled to stand up and stumbled forward. “Where are his ashes?”Both of them could hear the desperation in her voice. They exchanged a glance and wore a sympathetic expression. “I’m sorry, Ms. Blossom. I looked through the records and discovered that we had already honored Jude’s wishes on his final arrangements.“According to his wishes, his ashes were scattered. I’m afraid that you made the trip for nothing.” Hearing that, Summer suddenly felt very weak. She clenched her fists and her teeth. With much difficulty, she raised her hand and pointed at the document in their hands. Both staff members felt sympathetic toward her desperation as they saw how pale she was. Yet, they were worried that the content of the document would trigger her.Hence, they turned down her reques

From that day onward, Summer locked herself at home and never went out again. Aside from Eleanor who visited her from time to time, she would not meet anyone. She did not reply to anyone’s text messages. Empty wine bottles were scattered all over the room.She numbed herself with alcohol so she could bear her own existence and continued to live that pointless, painful life. On the 21st of January, someone suddenly knocked on her door. Summer was barely sober as she opened her eyes, which were devoid of emotions. She then stared at the light reflected on the wall and sank into a daze. The person kept knocking on her door persistently without stopping. Summer heard it, but she acted like the knocking sounds were not there. It was not until afternoon that she propped herself up and walked toward the door. She was extremely thin and fragile. Finn had almost lost his patience after knocking on the door for three hours. He started to slam on the door in anger. Hence, when
