"Eva, if they miss the chance, they will miss it forever. They can't change it, just like Hanson and I. I used to love Hanson very much. I could do anything for him. But since his engagement with Sunny and my marriage with icy guy, our fate has come to an end. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't go back. That was the case with Jim and Janice. From the day Janice pretended to be dead, she and Jim have ended. They can't go back," Essie said.
Eva lowered her head. She still couldn't believe that the stars in the sky would like the gorilla on the ground. They were not in the same world at all. They were not the same species!
"Essie, I just want to stay with Vinton and our love. That's enough." Her face was full of disappointment and sadness, as if she was destined to be lonely until old.
Essie sighed. Time could erase everything and heal everything. She hoped that her best friend could get out of sadness as soon as possible.
However, fate would never wait for someone. When the God wanted to take it back, he would not wait for even a minute.
How many good people could she meet in her life?
If she lost one, should she miss another?
That night, Eva couldn't fall asleep again. She kept recalling the scene that Jim got drunk that night.
"Stupid woman, I fell in love with you. I can't even believe myself. I have won you in everything, but lost my heart to you. Isn't it ironic?"
"I love you. I only tell you in my dream. I won't let the real you know. I won't let you know for the rest of my life."
She shook her head.
That night, scum Jim didn't recite the lines or treat her as someone else. He was talking to her!
He knew she was heaven pepper!
Did the gorilla in the sky like the gorilla on the ground?
It was too mysterious!
The most terrible thing was that night she touched scum Jim's...
God! Whenever she thought of this, her face was burning.
She quickly picked up the pillow and covered her head.
Scum Jim said that the furthest distance in the world was not the distance between life and death, but that I stood in front of you and you didn't know I loved you.
However, she still felt that the furthest distance in the world was the distance between life and death.
As long as a person was still alive, no matter how far away they were, there would always be able to unite one day. But if the loved one was gone, they would be separated forever and never see each other again!
Just like now, she would never see Vinton again. Even if she thought of him until she her heart was broken every day, he would never appear again. He would leave her forever.
"Woo..." She began to cry. Her big tree fell, and her home was gone. When it was cold in the future, no one would warm her hands. When it was hot, no one would fan for her. When it was raining, no one would hold an umbrella for her. When she was hungry, no one could make delicious fried eggs and ham sandwiches for her.
She had become a homeless girl like a rootless duckweed floating on the water.
"Vinton, don't leave me..."
She cried for the whole night and her eyes were swollen like walnuts, but her heart still hurt so much that she felt she was about to die.
Why did God do this to her?
Happiness was only one step away. Why did God take it away from her?
She stood up and took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet.
She needed alcohol to numb herself.
When Jim came over, she was already half drunk. She fumbled in the living room for a long time before she found the door.
"Scum Jim, is that you? Why did you become two?" She was drunk and looked at him with a silly smile.
Damn it!
Jim cursed and grabbed the bottle from her hand. In the morning, Essie called him. Someone from Country M came back with Vinton's belongings. Vinton was likely dead.
He guessed that she would feel uncomfortable. As soon as he hung up the phone, he rushed over.
But he did not expect that he was too late.
"Don't drink anymore." He grabbed the bottle from her hand.
"Scum Jim, alcohol is a good thing. You won't feel uncomfortable or painful after drinking it." Eva reached out to grab the bottle, stumbled and fell into his arms.
"Stupid woman, alcohol can do nothing but provide temporary numbness." Jim put down the bottle and put her down on the sofa.
"I'm stupid. I'm the stupidest woman in the world. I'm the trilobite." Eva grabbed his collar and burst into tears. "I didn't even give myself to Vinton. That damn tsunami destroyed everything. Do you think I'm pretentious and sentimental. I deserve to be a virgin till the day I die. I should be a nun in a temple. But God also hates me. He took away my little Vinton and did not allow me to give myself to him!"
