After that, Gabriel seemed to become a different person.
He became silent, his face devoid of any vitality, like a puppet.
Three months later, he handed over the company affairs to a distant relative of the Gu family, and then led Rose to the rooftop.
“Little Mia, after you left, it seems my soul left with you.”
“You always said life is long, that we had many days ahead of us. But I can’t wait for a whole lifetime. In the next life, will you give me a
chance?”
He pulled on the leash around Rose’s neck, forcing her to look down from the rooftop.
Rose’s voice trembled: “Gabriel, I’ve committed crimes, I can accept legal punishment, you can’t… can’t treat me like this.” She began to
scream.
Because Gabriel had already moved her upper body outside the railing.
“If you wanted me dead, why did you drive me out before?” Rose panted, asking fearfully.
Gabriel smiled maniacally: “Naturally, it’s because I wanted to give you hope, and then despair.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gabriel took out a torture instrument from the cellar, a bone–scraping knife.
He began to scrape Rose’s bones like a madman, each cut making Rose scream her throat raw.
“You devil, help! I’d rather go to jail, Gabriel, I really know I was wrong… don’t kill me, I can go to jail. My father has military merits, at most I’d get a suspended death sentence, ah ah ah ah, but now I have a terminal illness, and no one can treat me, can you let me live a few more days?”
Faced with death, Rose began to beg for mercy.
She started talking about her past relationship with Gabriel, trying to move him.
But hearing this, Gabriel became extremely angry.
“It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault. If you hadn’t seduced me, how could I have made such a mistake?”
He stabbed Rose through like a madman, and she fell silent.

I watched the whole process from the mountain top. Gabriel seemed to wake up as if from a dream. His face turned pale, and he made a
After Mia’s death was announced, he couldn’t sleep day or night.
Thinking about how close he had been to Mia, just five steps away, made him want to stab himself to death.
He jumped off the rooftop, falling straight down and smashing into a pulp.
Before he died, he smiled.
As if happy that he had successfully atoned.
After Gabriel’s death, I became a wandering ghost, my soul drifting everywhere.
Occasionally, I would return to my own grave to spend some time.
One year later.
Lucas came to my grave with flowers. He angrily told me stories of these years.
“Mia, even if Gabriel is dead, don’t forgive him. When you disappeared, I looked for you everywhere, tried to report to the police, but he settled
it with one word, saying you were just throwing a tantrum.”
“Rose got what she deserved, don’t forgive her either. Her terminal illness was karma, but the person she killed turned out to be her only hope for survival. She must have been devastated when she found out.”

“…Actually, I should have taken you away from Gabriel earlier. If I had known, I wouldn’t have let him marry you.”
Lucas was my college classmate. He was very kind–hearted and often visited us at the orphanage with his parents when we were young.
I looked at him with some concern, only to find that under his windbreaker was a hospital gown.
I was stunned. A group of white–coated people surrounded Lucas: “The mental patient Lucas has escaped from the hospital again, we’ve caught him. He always comes to this cemetery. We’ll take him back now.”
So he had gone mad.
A white light condensed, as if something was calling me.
All attachments gone, it was time for me to be reborn in the next life.
This thought surged in my mind.
I closed my eyes and responded to this call.
In the next life, I will love myself well.
