“Do they know each other?”
On an impulse, I used Phoebe’s birthday as a password and unlocked Finn’s phone.
At the top of Snapchat was his chat with Phoebe.
[Are you really going to the USA with that woman for me and Jasper?]
[What if she finds out you hired the guys who broke her right hand, making her unable to hold a
scalpel?]
[I’m sorry to Adeline. I’ll accompany her to the USA for rehab. I’ll spend my life making it up to her!]
[The life–saving debt you owed me as a child, I’ve repaid you now.]
[You and Jasper can be together. Adeline and I will never return.]
[Finn, but I’m still scared. After all, I lost her mother’s liver donor years ago.]
[Don’t worry. I covered it up well back then. Adeline
An’t find out.]
Standing there with the phone, I felt cold all over, a chill spreading in my heart.
In my junior year, my mother died of liver failure. Before she died, the hospital said a liver donor had been found.
But just before my mom entered the operating room, Finn told me there was a system error, and there was no matching liver donor.
I didn’t doubt him then. I collapsed in his arms, crying.
Now, looking at the chat, I wiped my tears, prepared two gift boxes, and changed my flight.
A week later, at the time Finn and I had planned to meet, I didn’t show up at the airport. He called several times, but I didn’t answer.
In the end, Finn only found a similarly anxious Jasper. Having finally calmed Phoebe, he was both physically and mentally exhausted, hoping to find comfort in me, only to discover I was long gone.
Jasper rushed over, grabbing Finn by the collar.
“Where’s Adeline! Where did you take her?”
Finn just laughed coldly, his attitude enraging Jasper, who then punched him repeatedly until Phoebe arrived and pulled them apart.
They didn’t know that three days ago, I had already landed in the UK.
After Jasper and Finn returned home, each received a gift from Adeline,
Jasper opened the box to find a signed divorce agreement from Adeline and a pregnancy test report.
He was dumbfounded as he looked at what was inside, finally realizing that Adeline was serious about leaving him this time.
