The Lives Of Others Novel の小説・ストーリー

It was as if I was showing the living that death was not the end of life, but rather, the beginning of a new journey. My thoughts returned to the day of the accident. The surgery was successful, bringing an end to my tragic life.

He blurted out, "Not like you can do anything. He got so much blood taken. He's still unconscious, I bet. Besides, he's the reason Delilah died. Are you really going to see your mother's murderer?" The look Josephine gave Henry was icy, and she flung his hand away. "He's lost his memories and needs someone to lean on. And I haven't gotten to the bottom of Mom's case. Why were you there, anyway? I told you to never show yourself around her." The look on Henry's face shifted, and Josephine had no desire to continue the conversation. She opened the door and ran straight into the colleague who had handled my procedure. "Dr. Gillard, it's Mr. Abernathy. He…"

Milan smiled, his smile was as cold as ice: “Ashley, you don’t deserve to be treated well by others. You have no qualifications. How despicable.” Ashley lowered her eyes, but her trembling eyelashes still revealed her suffering… Milan, what do you know? Do you know what it feels like to owe someone a life? Do you know that in that cold place like prison, the only person who treated me well was Lorne, who lost his life for me, do you know how I feel? Milan, do you know, owing someone a life, it would feel like living in this world but having a heart in hell.

"To building something better." We drank. Outside, the city continued its endless motion—taxis and delivery trucks and pedestrians, millions of lives intersecting and separating, each one carrying its own weight of history and hope. Somewhere in a federal prison, Vincent Moretti was eating a meal that wasn't prepared by a private chef, wearing clothes that weren't tailored, counting the years until he might see daylight again. Somewhere in Westchester, Elena Moretti was raising her grandson, telling herself that the child was redemption rather than a reminder of everything her son had destroyed. Somewhere in Switzerland, Sofia Voss was building a new life with Dominic's settlement money, her

[It's twenty degrees below zero in Northreach. The male lead was afraid the heroine would be cold, so he took off his coat and put it around her. So sweet!] [Holy crap, this is the original novel's love-confession scene for the male lead and heroine!] [Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!] The camera in my hand suddenly fell to the ground. "Ms. Linton? Are you okay?" Lucas walked over. "I'm... I'm fine." I crouched to pick up the camera, but my fingers shook so badly I had to try twice before I could hold it.

I let out a mirthless chuckle and responded apathetically, "You're the one who killed our baby and sealed your own fate, Jasper. Everything you're going through now is just the consequences of your actions." Before he could respond, I turned to leave. Behind me, I heard the sound of breaking glass. "Help! The suspect has taken his own life!" I left the police station in high spirits. Business overseas was booming, so I made the decision to move the company headquarters to New Avalon City. From the top of Crownspire Building, the sunset painted the city in warm, golden hues. All of a sudden, my phone rang; it was a call from Valerie. Her voice sounded worn and aged. "Wynne… I was cleaning Jas

Then: “Proceed.” I glanced down the winter veranda toward the dark city beyond the estate, the world that keeps letting men like Enzo crown themselves in other people’s bones. Somewhere out there, a doctor with a wavering conscience is learning the cost of waver. Somewhere a fixer named Crane is sharpening a new story about cause and effect. Somewhere a tabloid editor is queuing a headline and telling himself he’s just doing his job. “Then it’s time,” I said, tasting the hinge of a door swing open.

The mafia members around them inhaled sharply, murmuring among themselves, "What's this about? They swapped Jasmine and Lily's kids for money, and it killed Jasmine's boy?" "Blood or not, who lets a child suffer without medical help? That's abandonment, and none of us would stoop so low!" The air filled with scornful jeers, raining down on Derick and Jasmine like a storm. I watched the drama unfold with detached amusement and a smirk. The White family patriarch's face turned stormy as he bore down on a shaking Derick with fury in his eyes. "Derick! What's this all about? The White family deserves an answer!"

“What does the picture make you feel?” I look down at the floor because I don’t want to respond and have him think I’m uneducated. He bends over slightly to meet my gaze. “You do know what you feel, don’t you?” I look up at the picture once more, not sure what to say, so I take a deep breath and give my most honest answer. “The picture gives me hope.” I turned my head to look in his eyes and was met with a most perplexed stare. I turned back to the picture to explain my answer. “Most people, when they see this picture, might say that they only see a black and white picture of a bunch of homeless people happy to get a free meal, but I see more.
