Lina did not expect that the next time she would see Eric in this lifetime would be at his funeral. She stood in the position of a relative, bowing and thanking the people who came to attend the funeral. Jayce was too devastated to attend, so all the ceremonies were organized by Andy and some of Eric’s brothers. Lina only needed to show her face.
Looking at Eric lying in the crystal coffin, Lina could no longer recognize him. He was as thin as a skeleton, lying there lifeless and quiet. He would never smile at her again, never beg her to come back, and never love her again. The entanglement between them came to a complete end with Eric’s departure.
When Lina thought of her college days, she remembered the sunny young man who was always around her. He tirelessly helped her reserve seats in the library, waited in line for food for her, and despite her coldness, he appeared passionately in front of her again and again.
She had also loved him passionately, considering him as the only support in this world. Although Lina was sad, she was not as devastated as she had imagined. As a wife, coming to see him off on his final journey was also considered a complete closure.
Lina stood in front of her former home for a long time before opening the door. The desolation here was as usual. First Lina left, then Eric was gone. It will be even more desolate here in the future because no one will come back. This place will become someone else’s home in the future. Perhaps new love will continue here, but they will not be Eric and Lina.
Lina came to the study and saw the divorce agreement that she had

written herself, torn up by Eric and placed on the desk. Beside it was a folded piece of paper, which was a farewell letter that Eric wrote to Lina on his deathbed. At that time, Eric was having difficulty even sitting up, but he still managed to write down his final thoughts for
Lina.
“Dear Lina,
When you see this letter, I should have already gone underground to atone, Lina, whether you accept it or not, I still want to apologize to you for the last time, I’m sorry, I hurt you. I know I have no right to ask anything from you again, but I selfishly wrote your name on my tombstone, in the name of a wife. I did not sign the divorce agreement, forgive me for not giving you true freedom until death, because in my heart, you will always be my wife, for eternity, and I will always be your husband. You must think I’m ridiculous, right? I also think so, when I found out you left without a word, I was really scared to the extreme, Lina, I love you more than I imagined, I didn’t know when you were here, I only realized after you left, people always say that delayed affection is cheaper than grass, I know everything is irreparable. Lina, I’m dying, I really want to see you again, you have never come to my dreams even once, you must hate me so much, right? Lina, in the next life, let me love you again, okay? I will definitely work harder than this life, and I will never let you down again. Lina, my love, farewell!”
Lina calmly finished reading the letter, folded it neatly, picked up the lighter on the table and burned it. “It’s enough to have read it, to have forgiven. Between them, there was no more love or hatred, so let everything end with Eric’s departure.”
Lina donated all her assets to the local Red Cross, and she had long given up on Eric, so she naturally wouldn’t want his money either. “This money should be put to better use.”

She sold the villa where she had lived with Eric for five years, and from now on, she would never return to this city.
Tammy and Lina’s company grew bigger and bigger. Their language training school “opened in every country in Europe.” Gradually, they also started to work on tourism projects. The two women depended on each other and lived a prosperous life.
Many years later, Lina held her babbling baby in her arms, watching the man busy in the kitchen, the sunlight gently shining into their home. The happiness of this moment made her feel that all the hardships she had experienced in her life were worth it. Perhaps only by going through those rough roads could one deserve the happiness of today!
