Tears fell one by one onto the phone screen. Andrea touched her face to realize her face was already covered with tears at some point. She had told herself not to be sad since she would be leaving soon. However, these offensive images still pricked her heart, suffocating her with pain.

Outsiders knew Gabriel and Anthony doted on her, but she had also been sincere to them.

Gabriel was wealthy yet lonely. She had always been there when he needed her—celebrating his birthdays, sending him an umbrella on rainy days, waiting for him to come home every night. Every time he felt lonely, she would be there.

Then there was Anthony, who she had endured a difficult labor to bring into this world. She accompanied him to grow up and taught him how to navigate the world. All her love was given to Gabriel and Anthony, but she did not receive the same sincerity in return. Instead, all she received was betrayal.

Andrea could not bear to see the photos and video anymore, so she turned off her phone.

Perhaps because Andrea did not respond for a long time, the impatient Hannah called again. This time, she no longer sounded humble or respectful—all that she said was full of gloating and ridicule.

"Mrs. Fulton, I know you've seen those photos. Over the past year, Mr. Fulton and Mr. Anthony have spent far more time with me than with you. Don't think they still love you. If they did, I wouldn't exist. If you know what's best for you, you should step aside immediately!"

Andrea thought, 'Yeah, if Gabriel and Anthony still loved me, Hannah wouldn't exist.'

Instead of saying anything, Andrea only quietly recorded the call before hanging up.

When Gabriel came in, he found her lying on the bed, her eyes slightly red. He could tell she had been crying. His heart tensed as he rushed over to her and cupped her face to examine it. "Andrea, why are you crying? Did something happen?"

Andrea looked at him silently for a long time. She never realized how good Gabriel's acting skills were. Taking a deep breath, she replied, "Nothing. I just saw some photos and videos that made me feel touched."

Gabriel breathed a sigh of relief and tapped her nose. "What kind of photos and videos could make you cry?"

She picked up her phone and handed it to him. "Do you want to see?"

Gabriel smiled and agreed. He was about to take the phone from her, but the phone in his arms vibrated suddenly. He glanced down at the screen before hesitantly looking up at her. "Andrea, something came up at work. I..."

Andrea pretended not to see Hannah's name on his phone screen. She silently withdrew her phone. "It's okay. Go take care of it. I was about to go to bed anyway."

On the day Andrea was discharged from the hospital, the sky had no clouds, and a gentle breeze blew as sunlight shone through tree leaves. The colorful light spots made it seem like a scene straight from a gorgeous painting.

Anthony held her hand as he bounced down the steps. "Mom, you're finally out of the hospital! You have no idea that I didn't even have time to go to kindergarten these days. I was so worried about you!"

After they got into the car, Gabriel quickly spread a blanket over her legs. "Andrea, it's a bit windy today. Don't catch a cold."

Anthony also mimicked his father, putting a cushion behind her back.

Perhaps noticing her bad mood, Gabriel and Anthony remained unusually quiet during the ride.

Suddenly, Anthony seemed to remember something and tugged on Gabriel's sleeve. He whispered, "Dad, aren't we supposed to go to the Evergreen Church today to fulfill our vow?"

Gabriel took out his phone and glanced at the calendar. "It's today."

Anthony added, "Let's send Mom home first..."

Andrea said, "I'll go fulfill your vow with you."

Andrea, who had been pretending to nap, suddenly opened her eyes and interrupted their conversation.

Gabriel and Anthony immediately rejected her in unison. "No!"

Anthony hugged her. "Mom, you've just recovered. The church is high up on the mountain. I'll worry about you if you come along. Just let me and Dad do it."

Anthony was just a child after all. The sight of her bloodied figure during the car crash had scared him.

Gabriel was also against it. "Anthony is right. You've just recovered. How could you go somewhere so far?"

However, Andrea was unusually insistent. "You prayed for me, so I should also join you in fulfilling the vow."

Unable to dissuade her, Gabriel and Anthony brought her to the Evergreen Church.

The church was far from the bustling city, nestled on top of a mountain. The surroundings were quiet, filled with the faint sound of chanting friars and bells.

A huge cross hung majestically inside the nave, seeming overlooking after all beings.

Andrea sat reverently on a bench, inwardly making her wish. 'Have mercy on me. I wish to never meet Gabriel and Anthony in this life or any other!'

Gabriel and Anthony sat beside her, wishing for the safety and unity of their family.

After the prayers, the family of three walked over to draw lots.

The priest first examined the lots Gabriel and Anthony had drawn and shook his head. However, he only said, "Good luck."

Then, he looked at Andrea's lot and looked meaningfully at her. "You'll get what you want."

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.

"Dad, Mom, tell me your story," Anthony said.

Hearing this, Gabriel gave a gentle smile. He was about to speak when the serene moment was ruined by the shrill ringtone.

Andrea knew who it was immediately.

Firstly, this ringtone was the exclusive one Gabriel had set for Hannah.

Secondly, Hannah had texted her earlier that morning.

Hannah: [So what if it's your wedding anniversary? Believe it or not. They'll leave you to accompany me as soon as I call.]

Andrea had only chuckled at the message, taken a screenshot, and sent it to the advertising billboard staff. "Please add this to the advertising billboards as well."

As expected, after hearing the ringtone, Gabriel only glanced at his phone before moving aside to answer the call.

Hannah said something, which caused his expression to change slightly. Gabriel even glanced at Anthony before hanging up. Gabriel then whispered something to Anthony, and both of them walked toward Andrea together.

Gabriel said, "Andrea, something suddenly came up for Anthony and me. Take a taxi home first. I'll make it up to you for the anniversary next time, okay?"

Andrea pondered, 'What matter required him to bring Anthony? They're just going to accompany Hannah.'

His lie was awful, yet Andrea lacked the energy to expose him. She looked up at Gabriel and Anthony, who were waiting for her approval. She smiled slightly and said slowly, "Okay. Be careful."

Gabriel instantly relaxed. He picked Anthony up and headed toward the school’s entrance. As if remembering something suddenly, Gabriel headed back and kissed Andrea's cheek. "Andrea, I'll plan a big surprise for you next time." Then, he turned around and left.

He had taken a few steps when Andrea called out from behind them. "Gabriel, Anthony."

Gabriel and Anthony instinctively stopped and turned around to look at her.

"Keep walking. Don't look back. I just wanted to say goodbye." She emphasized the last word, but Gabriel did not notice it. He only waved at her with a smile. Anthony also waved and bid Andrea goodbye before leaving with Gabriel.

Andrea stood still as she watched Gabriel and Anthony's figure leave until they disappeared completely.

She withdrew her gaze and wandered alone around the school campus. Everywhere she went was filled with youthful energy, and every inch of the place was filled with their memories.

Entering one of the classrooms, she seemed to recall the handsome boy seated behind her. His ears were red as he poked her uniform, asking, "Andrea, will you be my girlfriend?"

Walking up to the sycamore tree, she seemed to see the same boy holding her hand and carving into the tree bark under the moonlight.

[18-year-old Gabriel will love 17-year-old Andrea forever.]

When Andrea walked down the school corridor, she seemed to see the night when the power went out. The school building was filled with excitement, but only he pulled her to the corner, panting, and gave her his first kiss.

Finally, she pushed open the door to the rooftop. She seemed to see Gabriel in a suit and bowtie, holding roses and kneeling before her.

He looked nervous, but his eyes were full of love. Gabriel said, "Andrea, marry me. I'll always dote on you and love you."

He had also promised, "Andrea, you're the only one I will ever call my wife."

He had said, "Andrea, I will never betray you."

However, he later made those promises to another woman, word for word.

Eventually, she returned to the villa alone. It was nearly midnight, and Gabriel and Anthony still had not come back.

Andrea wondered, 'What are they doing now? Having dinner with Hannah? Watching a movie? Or are they coaxing her to sleep just like how they coax me?'

She sat quietly on the couch until the clock struck 12. She closed her eyes, and she heard the system's voice. "Ms. Young, it's time for you to leave. Are you ready?"

Andrea's eyes remained closed as she softly replied, "I'm ready. Take me home."

Once she finished speaking, a blinding light fell before her. Before she could react, the light enveloped her, stripping her soul from her body.

Sometime later, the light disappeared.

Finally, Andrea stopped breathing, with only a relieved smile on her face as she pondered, 'Gabriel, Anthony, I'm going home. We will never meet again...'
