On the pristine white paper were Adeline’s beautiful and neat
handwriting, just like her standing in front of Hugo, calmly explaining the reasons for her departure.
“Hugo, by the time you read this letter, I have already left. I’m not sure where I went, but you won’t find me. The reason I left is simple – I don’t want to wait anymore. At first, you said you would just have a child with her and then leave. I believed you. But after your daughter was born, you said she was too lonely, and you needed to have a son to accompany her before leaving. I believed you again. But now you say you want to marry her, and that your child should know that you and her mother were a couple, in love. I don’t understand. How long do I have to wait for you to take me away? Will you one day deceive me into waiting for you to marry and have children with her, or will you wait until she is old before leaving with me? Hugo, I am also a woman, and my youth is limited. I don’t want to continue waiting for an empty promise with no end in sight. Let’s part ways here, and never see each other again.”
Hugo held the farewell letter left by Adeline and read it again, and again.
Hugo recognized every word but couldn’t understand the meaning. The paper trembled in Hugo’s fingers, making a faint rustling sound.
A surge of uncontrollable sweetness and fishiness suddenly rose in his throat, and the world before his eyes suddenly began to distort and spin, colors peeling away, and sounds fading into the distance.
The solid floor beneath me seemed to collapse and melt in an instant, turning into bottomless, icy quicksand.
Hugo was being silently and irresistibly swallowed by the quicksand, sinking towards an abyss without light, without echoes, only endless

coldness.

“Hugo!”
“Quick, call someone!”

Overnight, the Bernard family had another new joke.
Yesterday the groom left the bride behind and walked away first. Today, the groom is determined to drive the bride away, no matter what.
Hugo’s room was already in shambles, with everything that could be smashed having been smashed by Hugo.
Hugo coldly watched the furious Edwin and Marcella in front of him, as well as Steffie, who was holding their daughter and about to faint from crying. He tightened his grip on the knife in his hand, causing the blade to sink a little deeper into his wrist.
“Let me go, let me go find her, or else we will both die together.”
Even though Hugo had read the letter left by Adeline several times, he still stubbornly believed that she had been driven away by her own parents, and even by Steffie.
Originally, Hugo was going to find Adeline after waking up, and they were going to elope together and never come back.
Edwin and Marcella insisted on stopping Hugo from leaving, even using medication to temporarily prevent him from standing up. They even had Steffie come and hold the child in an attempt to persuade Hugo to stay.
If Adeline were still here in the past, Hugo might have had some hesitation.

No one considered Hugo’s feelings, no one thought about Adeline’s eelings.
You have already forced me to death once. I didn’t want to sleep with her
the first place. It was you who drugged me. Now it has become like his, all because of you.”
And this child is not what I wanted.”
When Hugo really didn’t want to touch Steffie, he even felt disgusted to e in the same room with her. But the parents were eager for a randchild, so they conspired with Steffie to drug Hugo.
When Hugo woke up, the first thing he did was to strangle Steffie.
Jugo’s parents and Steffie begged Hugo with tears, saying they were etting old and just wanted a grandson.
