By The Time They Missed Me I Was Gone นิยาย & เรื่องราว

They had to be coaxed into doing everything—eating, bathing, and even sleeping. Ethan felt like he was on the verge of breaking down. And this chaotic life was what I had endured for eight long years. Only now did he begin to understand my agony and see just how terribly wrong he'd been all those years. Meanwhile, Katrina and James drove away several more nannies. Eventually, they ended up back in the infirmary due to malnutrition and allergies. That was when fear finally set in for them. They realized no matter how much they threw fits or cried, I wasn't coming back. And only then did they understand that they had truly lost me.

So he never prepared before our registration. After they took a number and settled in to wait, I did not hesitate. I hailed a cab and headed straight home. The moment I walked in, I stripped off the skirt I had ironed carefully, shredded it, and watched it burn to ashes. I knew then, my seven-year love affair with him was meant to disappear just like that—up in smoke.

They mourned me, calling me the pack’s most brilliant researcher. But my family had never known that part of me. All they knew was the troublemaker who fought with Ella for their affection. Ryan knelt before my grave all night. “Sophie, I was wrong. I was so wrong…” he whispered to the cold stone. “I thought I didn’t love you, but now I know I’m nothing without you.” “Come back, please? Yell at me, hit me… just come back…” But I could never go back. Mom placed a platter of my favorite desserts in front of my headstone.

They stepped aside, watching me go, and I didn’t look back. After I was done refreshing up and finally feeling like myself again, I found my feet carrying me to Rose’s room without much thought. I had missed her—truly missed her—even though I’d only been away for a few hours. To me, it felt far longer than that. I had missed the sound of her voice, the quiet comfort of her presence. I had missed her scent, the warmth of her touch, the memory of her kisses lingering like a phantom ache.

When he looked up again, I was already several paces ahead. The ocean shimmered under the sunlight, waves glinting like scattered glass as the breeze carried the briny scent of salt. I walked slowly, my voice steady as I said, "Since you managed to find me, you must have heard that my dad isn't a farmer. He just didn't approve of us being together. Back then, when you asked, I said he was a farmer without thinking much of it." He nodded. "I've heard Mr. Gomez's name plenty of times, but I never imagined he was your dad."

Like I've missed you too much Always miss you I can't deny it You are the only one That can make my soul Who ever dies becomes meaningful But now you're gone It's like being swallowed by the Earth Don't you realize What does your love mean to me? I don't know where you are I feel like I'm living my life without you Do you miss me there? Like I've missed you too much Always miss you Oh, yeah Oh-oh, I don't know where you are I feel like I'm living my life without you Do you miss me there?

Though I'm not smart, I understood in my heart that this time, he truly couldn't help me. I returned to my rundown shack, gathered up the recyclables I had collected, and prepared to sell them before disappearing. But no matter how quickly I moved, I was still too late. As I dragged the bag to the door, a cold, male voice cut through the air. “Lindsey Thomson, where do you think you’re going?” In the sweltering summer sun, a chill ran down my spine. Even after three years of not hearing it, I recognized that voice instantly.

And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say When I'm gone When I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my hair You're gonna miss me everywhere, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm gone I got my ticket for the long way round The one with the prettiest of views It's got mountains It's got rivers It's got sights to give you shivers But it sure would be prettier with you When I'm gone When I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me by my walk You're gonna miss me by my talk, oh You're gonna miss me when I'm gone.” Just as the song finished, someone flicked the wall lamps on; the sudden bright light caused my eyes to squint at the glare and I turned to

I had once longed for it so deeply, but now that I finally held it, I felt nothing at all. After some time, I gently pushed him away and said nothing. I simply took the two tickets from his hand and turned back toward the banquet hall. I could be patient, but Stefano wasn’t even seven years old yet. There was no way I could stand by and watch my son be dragged through the mud alongside me. When I returned to the entrance of the banquet hall, I booked another flight with the same time, but to a different country. Then, I pushed open the door, and in the next second, I froze.

The kiss lasted only seconds before it completely fell apart. A broken sob escaped me. My forehead dropped against his, "I miss them..." the words shattered as they left my mouth, "I miss them so much. They're gone... and it's all because of me. I should've stayed away. I should've known I didn't belong in their world. Mom tried to warn me over and over..." I squeezed my eyes shut. "They were so alive, Raphael. They had dreams... they had plans... and now they're dead because of me."
