---- Chapter 8 No matter what Quinton did, I found it laughable. On the day of my planned escape, Quinton suddenly said he wanted to take me on a belated honeymoon. "Honey, I've prepared a surprise for you," he said. Before I could refuse, he had already put the prosthetic leg on me and carried me to the car. Throughout the drive, Quinton kept babbling about the surprise he had prepared, insisting that I would love it. But I couldn't hear a single word he said. I was only thinking about how I could escape from under his nose. After receiving a phone call, Quinton's expression suddenly shifted, and he asked to pull the car over.

When a news alert popped up about "a mysterious car accident on the airport road", his pupils contracted sharply, and he finally realized where his unease had come from. The car that had fallen off the cliff in the news was clearly the one that I had just been in. ---- He trembled as he opened the tracking app. All the trackers indicated that they were at the bottom of the cliff. He felt as if his heart had been stabbed, and like the blood in his body stopped flowing. He had been so close to starting over, but he still couldn't protect the girl from back then. Was this his punishment for mistaking the person for someone else? Everything before him grew increasingly blurry. By the time he was arrested that night, Quinton still hadn't recovered from the shock. When I regained consciousness, I found myself sitting in the passenger seat of an unfamiliar sports car. The man with long hair and sunglasses in the driver's seat extended his hand to me. "Welcome back, Candy."
