Chapter 107 Ashley Had A Car Accident
Ivan was an underhude man.
I only knew how he lost to Rowan in his pursuit of Ashley. I never knew the extent of the resentment that dested before the pursuit
Sophie was the cause of it all.
sophie was a medical student and Ivan’s classmate. She went after van at the start, but he had no capacity to date, so he had never reciprocated.
Altes that, Sophie met Rowan at a party, she got closets Rowan, probably of spite against ban, Eventually, they fell for each other and became a couple
“Why are you so unlucky, han?” Isinerrely empathiar with the man atter hearing everything.
“Am Lunlucky?”
“Is this not unlucky enough?” I blurted, “Someone who fancied you ended up fancying Rowan, Someone you fancied ended up together with Rowan. What is the world are you doing?
After saying that, I realized Thad misspoken. How could I have told wan that Rowan and Ashley were together?
It was stabbing him where it hurt!
Thankfully, hem didn’t seem dazed by it. He probably had accepted that he was always one step behind Rowan
“Honestly, it seemed like you also fancied Sophie back then. However, you didn’t like her enough that you wanted to tell her about your feelings. You were okay giving her up, so you let bow have her,” Lanalyzed.
“Yes, you’re probably right.” I nodded.
1thought to myself, finally understanding why Town and bean fought for Ashley fiercely.
1inally understood everything that had gone down, and the fixation in my heart dissipated
I could peacefully leave the country in a few days and no longer be concerned about the drama bere.
“Tunderstand everything now.” Tabe a plece of meat from the stew with a relaxed smile.
Tran never told me about Sophile in my previous Ede, probably because it was a sore spot for him. I wasn’t sure why he was telling me about it now.
Istill had a good impression of him as a man with good moral values.
Once I left the country, I hoped he would be more resolved about Ashley and not lose everything like he did in my previous life.
After finishing the stew, twn thoughtfully cleared the table and kitchen. He placed the dishes in the dishwashers and thoughtfully took out the garbage.
It was already late, Ivan helped me apply medication to my legs, piggybacked me onto the bed, and was ready to leave.
“Ivan,” Icalled after him.
Isaid from the bottom of my heart, “it’s better not to be too persistent sometimes. At times, giving up is also a choke. Don’t try to go after someone who doesn’t love you and
torture yourself.”
A good man should enjoy a peaceful lite. God, have merry on him!
pan considered what i said. Eventually, he curled his lips and said, “okay”
As the door closed in the living room, I lay in bed and quietly stared at the light aboveme
A picture of the sea usually appeared in mymind, accompanied by the sound of crashing waves as they rose and fell.
However, the seas dappeared after tonight, and a desert appeared instead. There was no wind or rain, silent and undisturbed
I didnt want to ponder about the conversation over Rowan’s call, or bean would ten the talike around in his favor anymore. Tonly wanted to sleep.
The next day, Mom and Dad brought me home from the apartment.
After nursing my legs at home for a few days, my legs recovered. Uncle Alvin bought my plane tickets for me, and I was ready to depart for Storland.
The night before my departure, Jean, Olivia, and Natale came to my house. They bought food and drinks, wanting to give me a farewell.
“Don’t worry, hry. We never told a soul about your departure. Rowan and the rest don’t know about it. You will have without saying a word. When you come back, divorce him. He wouldn’tmowwhat he him!” Jean had a tile too much to drink and slurred.
“Yes, find a handsome man and bring him back, You can’t lose to Rowan olivia suggested.
Natale acted as if she had seen through everything and killed the hopes of love. “What’s the paint of dating? Focus on your career. Men are unreliable.
I thought everything they said made sense and kept rodding by the side.
It won’t until late that the three of them leit.
When daylight came, Fearried light luggage and my passport, Dad drove and picked up Uncle Alvin and Aut Selena Then, we went toward the airport.
No one besides Jean and my friends knew I was leaving the country today. They said they wouldn’t send me off to avold feeling sappy about it, so I could only board the plane with stride.
“Ivy, will you miss it here ant Selena asked after getting onto the
“Twill miss my pa was reluctant to love them. After all, I was their only daughter.
*Remember to call more of. After working hard, come back and help them with some of their burdens,” Aut Selena.comdected me.
Lagreed with her. Since love didn’t work out for me, I would put more effort and work hard in my career.
When the plane took off, I felt a heavy priser. My stomach started acting up as I had eaten something wrong
I wanted to pake
Touldn’t eat down. I quickly book a log and tried yelling in it.
That’s the maller? Are you okay?” Ant Selena asked with concern

I tried for a while, and nothing came out. I put the bag down and patted any chest. “It’s okay. I think I had too much to drink last night. My stomach isn’t feeling well.”
Aunt Selena said, “Don’t drink alcohol too much. It damages your health,”
Inodded
When we reached Stormland, I immediately saw my cousin, Charles, the moment we landed. He came to pick us up.
“vy!” Charles saw me and ruffled my hair with a warm smile. “Why are you so skinny now? You look nothing but bones.”
My cousins, Charles and Betty Sadler, and I were close as kids. We used to play a bot growing up. Then, they moved overseas with Uncle Alvin, so we didn’t stay in contact as much.
“Tam skinny because I had no appetite or sleep as an unemployed person, so I’ve come to rely on you, Charles!” parted my luggage. “Throught everything under my name here.”
He guffawed. “Great, great! Come and work for me!”
After getting into the car, I spoke with Charles the whole way. Uncle Alvin and Aunt Selena smiled and listened to the conversation.
The atmosphere was light I could sense that everything else at home was milles away from me now that I had left the country.
I stayed at Uncle Alvin’s place for now, but Charles would help to look for a place for me. Soon, I would move out.
That night, Uncle Alvin’s family gathered. My cousin in–law, Margaret Smith, and Betty came back, too. Aunt Selena cooked a scrumptious meal. We exchanged words and laughter; the meal was enjoyable.
There was no time difference between Storland and home. When I glanced at the time before heading to bed, it was 10:30 pm
Jean sent me a few text messages on WhatsApp that said, “Oh my god, Ashley had a car accident!”
I was shocked and immediately replied, “When did it happen?*
Jean responded, “It was a few days ago, I just found out about it today and immediately texted you. Let me calculate when it happened.” Jean replied shortly after, “It happened on the second night of the New Year!”
