7 At dinner time , the servant said that Donald and Violet had reserved a table at Per Se and told them to eat out . Kirsten wanted to turn it down , but Alayna dragged her into the back seat . All the way , no matter what Alayna said , Duncan would immediately respond . Duncan , after we get married , can we go to Europe for our honeymoon ? I want to see the aurora and watch the fashion show . I want you to take lots of photos of me . I'll set all your phone , computer , and tablet screens to my selfies without repeating a single one ! " Sure . I hire a few photographers to help me hone my skills , just to make sure I capture you at your most beautiful . I'll have the photos printed and framed and hang them all over my office and study . That way , whenever I miss you , all I have to do is look up , and there you are ! " You must keep your word . When we have a baby , we can look through photo albums together and reminisce about the good old days . So , how many kids do you want ? If we have a boy , I hope he's as tall and handsome as you . If we have a girl , I hope she gets my looks . " As they were in deep conversation , they seemed to forget about Kirsten's presence . Kirsten just gazed out of the window and remained silent . The day Duncan had his eye surgery , she passed out from sleeping pills and had a dream . In her dream , the first person he saw when he woke up was her , and after that , he didn't care about anyone else . He would never leave her side and never run out of ways to surprise her . He would take her out on dates and show her the marvels of the world . He would kneel and propose to her solemnly , hold her hand and walk into the wedding hall , and take a family photo with her and their kid in his arms . She dreamed of someone who truly loved her and a place she could finally call home . Sadly , after she woke up , everything faded into an illusion . She had fought for her dream , only to meet a tragic end . Suddenly , the screeching of tires snapped Kirsten awake . She looked up and saw a sports car with seemingly failed brakes hurtling at them . With a heavy crash , the car collided with the bridge pillar . Kirsten felt like her body was falling apart with blood flowing out from her forehead , arms , and legs . Then came the searing pain , and she felt like her whole body was being torn apart . The pain was so intense that she could barely catch her breath . She opened her bloodshot eyes to see Duncan getting out of the car , holding the terrified and trembling Alayna . The doors on both sides were deformed , and the trunk caught on fire . Kirsten bit her lip till it bled and forced herself to stay awake as she struggled to move toward the passenger seat . With each movement , blood trickled down , staining the seat and the floor . 10:11 17 1.1 % AD Binance : Buy Bitcoin & Crypto Install now > PG 广告 There's the usual crypto platforms , then there's Binance . See why we're different . After the crawled on of the car and moved a few steps away , she heard a loud boom behind . Flames chee up into the sky , and the blast knocked her to the ground . The explosion made Kirsten's blood run cold She couldn't bear to imagine what would happen to her if she had hesitated a few more seconds , or if she had passed out . Five minutes had passed from the crash to her escape , yet Duncan hadn't looked at her even once . Even when Alayna was safe and sound , he didn't think about going back to save her . Watching him gently soothing Alayna in his arms , Kirsten gave a tired and bitter smile . All her strength was depleted , and her eyelids felt as heavy as lead . Half - awake , she heard the siren of the ambulance and the nurse's anxious voice . " Ms. Wilkinson's condition is worse . She has passed out due to heavy blood loss . Mr. Glenn , we suggest that you take her to the operating room right now , or her life might be in danger ! " " I don't care what will happen to Kirsten . Make sure Annie gets treated first ! " At the sound of the familiar voice , Kirsten cracked open her eyes and saw Duncan's worried face . Donald and Violet also arrived at the scene . They surrounded Alayna and kept wiping their tears . " Save Annie first . She's the apple of our eyes . We can't live without her ! " " Yes , we are their family . If something happens to Kirsten , we won't hold the hospital responsible ! For now , focus on saving Annie . That's what matters the most ! " Every single one of them chose to save Alayna , crushing the last shred of hope left in Kirsten . Endless darkness ensued , pulling her deep into the abyss . She was , once again , enshrouded in that familiar dread and sense of helplessness she had felt before dying in her last life ... #
