The long-dormant system suddenly appeared at night. “Ms. Young, you have three days until you leave this world. Please be prepared.”
Andrea nodded. “Got it.” She watched the full moon outside the window gradually swallowed by dark clouds.
‘Soon. I’ll soon leave this world forever and never see Gabriel or Anthony again.’ The thought made her smile in relief.
Three days before leaving, Andrea began eliminating every trace of her existence in this world. She had been in the mission world for ten years, and everything related to her filled several boxes.
The first item she placed inside was a pop quiz during high school. There was nothing special about it—except that Gabriel’s handwriting was written on it: [Gabriel Fulton only loves Andrea Young.]
The second item she packed was the diamond ring Gabriel had given her on the day he proposed. She could never forget his expression when he slid the ring onto her ring finger.
The big shot who ruled the business world buried his head in her neck and cried as he trembled. He kept repeating, “Andrea, you’re finally mine!”
…
Before this, she carefully kept and treasured every item in the boxes, hoping to recount the stories of these items to their grandchildren when they were old. However, this was unnecessary now.
Andrea started a fire in the villa’s courtyard and threw everything into the fire. As the flames burned, she turned around without hesitation and never looked back.
Two days before leaving, Andrea copied all the provocative photos, video, and phone recording that Hannah had sent her over the past few days onto a USB drive.
Then, she took a taxi to the city’s advertising billboard center and handed the USB to the staff. “Please display the contents of the USB drive on the advertising billboards all over the city and play them in a loop the day after tomorrow.”
The staff glanced at the USB drive, eyes filled with shock. They stammered, “Ms… Ms. Young, are you sure?”
Andrea remained calm. “Yes. After playing them, help me add a line of text at the top. ‘Andrea Young wishes Gabriel Fulton, Anthony Fulton, and Hannah Jennings a happy life together forever.'”
The day before Andrea’s departure happened to be Andrea and Gabriel’s fifth wedding anniversary.
Five years ago, Gabriel knelt on one knee on the rooftop of their high school’s building to propose to her.
Countless drones in the sky created various proposal patterns. Their proposal even became a trending topic online. They had agreed to celebrate their anniversary here every year.
As expected, Andrea had just come downstairs when she saw that Gabriel had not gone to work like usual and that Anthony had skipped kindergarten. They were both sitting on the couch, waiting for her with gentle smiles.
Andrea glanced at them quietly. After breakfast, the trio headed out together.
It was summer break, so only the three were on the vast campus. Gabriel held her hand with his left and Anthony’s with his right. The sweet scene of a family strolling together would make anyone envious.
