After leaving Nora's ward, Cora returned to the apartment where she and Byron used to live together.
The space of their apartment was small, but it held great significance for Cora.
On a late autumn night, she stood downstairs, contemplating for a long time before gathering the courage to enter the room once again.
But as she switched on the lights and familiar sights flooded her vision, reminding her of every little moment she spent with Byron, it felt like a boom was exploding in her mind.
Grief quickly multiplied and spread like a flood.
At that moment, everything seemed to drain Cora of all her strength, causing her to slide to the floor, unable to speak through her tears...
It had been four years.
And she still missed him so much.
How she wished she could turn back time.
She would rather trade her life to have him back.
Cora recalled someone saying that one can escape the nights of revelry but not the empty streets.
It turned out that this moment was the most difficult to endure.
Without having to worry about Martin anymore, without considering the gaze of others, she felt as though she was drowning in the sea of past sorrows, unable to free herself.
Cora didn't know how long she had cried helplessly, but when she heard her phone ring, it was already in the early hours of the morning.
It was a video call from Gabe.
Cora felt that she looked like a mess with her current tear-stained appearance and thought of waiting until she was in a slightly better state before calling Gabe back.
But Gabe persisted, calling over and over again.
In the end, Cora had to answer the video call.
As soon as the call connected, Gabe's anxious face appeared on the screen, saying, "Cora, are you okay?"
He was afraid that Cora's return to her old house would bring back unpleasant memories, so he sent messages and made calls, hoping she would come to stay with him.
If not, staying in a hotel would also be fine.
