In the hospital, the doctor carefully removed the thorns that had pierced my body. It seemed that as these thorns left, my years of love also disappeared.

The next morning, I unexpectedly received a voice message from Rachel on WeChat. She asked, "Why aren't you talking? Didn't you block me?" After a while, she said, "I'll be home in half an hour. I brought you freshly baked cheesecake and egg tarts. Oh, and I also bought you a new wedding ring. I've really wronged you these past two days, but I won't do that again."

I looked up at the time and replied calmly: "There is no future for us." Unfortunately, she had already hung up the phone. There were still three hours before twelve o'clock. I turned on her computer and tried several passwords. Finally, I successfully logged in with Wayne 's birthday.

I just sat in front of the computer waiting for Rachel to come. Half an hour passed, and an hour passed... I turned on my phone and saw that Wayne had updated his status again. He sat in Rachel 's passenger seat, and the two of them were holding hands, wearing the latest wedding rings on their hands.

I sneered and used her account to send a group message to everyone in the company about my eight-year story with Rachel and the evidence of her infidelity that I had collected during this period. Then, I smashed my computer, picked up my suitcase and went to the airport alone.

When checking my ticket, countless messages and calls came flooding in. I could almost imagine Rachel's frustrated look and my mother's hysterical roar. But all this had nothing to do with me.

I pulled out the SIM card and threw it into the trash can. The whole world was quiet in an instant. Sitting on the plane, I watched the clouds outside the window drift away with the wind, as if everything in the past was saying goodbye to me: my childhood, my love, my family... I knew that even if Rachel was angry, she would not chase me to a foreign country; and my mother would just sit at home and repeat her life day after day. None of them would change their original life trajectory for me. The two people I once cherished most will have nothing to do with me from now on.

I had a rare good sleep on the plane. I was not awakened by nightmares or by Rachel. In the dream, there was no past, only the future. After getting off the plane, I saw Will waving at me happily. His smile stopped when he saw the scars of all sizes on my body...
