After the plane landed, I quickly inserted a new phone card and sent a message to Kevin's mother to let her know that I was safe. Although our future relationship may be limited to strangers, I am still grateful for all the preparations she made for me abroad.

Soon, I received her reply, but the content was a little unexpected: "I'm sorry, I..." The message seemed to be not yet fully edited, and then a phone call came in. I picked up the phone and heard Kevin's hurried voice:

" Linn , if I hadn't happened to see you texting mom, were you going to stay away from me?" He made a series of guesses, whether it was because of the incident with the co-pilot or the misunderstanding with the courier, but I knew in my heart that these were just the tip of the iceberg. There were too many reasons to leave him, and after seven years of accumulation, I didn't know where to start.

I sighed and said slowly:

"Do you remember the second time you were hospitalized for DUI? You were in a coma for three days and called out Zoe's name no less than a thousand times."

"Just because of this?" Kevin might have imagined many answers, but he didn't expect this one.

He still doesn't understand that people's subconscious mind won't lie. I spent ten years trying to get into his heart, so I got tired and decided to let go.

"Yes, that's why."

After saying that, I was about to hang up the phone, but Kevin begged almost instinctively:

" Don't... If you want to leave, what about our child? Have you thought about him?"

I didn't plan to tell him the truth because it didn't matter anymore. The existence of a child would not change our broken relationship.

"Kevin, I am very grateful to the Zhou family for their support back then, so I have spent seven years to repay them. Now we are even. That's all I have to say. Goodbye."

"No!" Kevin seemed to want to keep me, but I had already decisively hung up the phone.
