I find out I'm about two months pregnant before my wedding. Luke Logan drunkenly caresses my belly and half-jokes, "I'm not ready to be a father, Summer. Can we not keep the baby?" My heart is calm. I say softly, "Sure." In my past life, I insisted on keeping the child. Meanwhile, Riley Richards had an accidental miscarriage, making it difficult for her to conceive again. Luke held a grudge against me for that and treated me coldly after we married. As for the son that I put one foot in the coffin to bring into this world, he, too, cried and fussed. He wanted Riley to be his mother. Later, I got into an accident and suffered from significant blood loss. However, Luke and our son merely hurried past me to be with Riley as she went into labor. I slowly bled to death on the floor above, while Luke and our son celebrated the birth of Riley's child on the floor below. Now that I've been reborn, I won't lose sight of myself and take the wrong path again. I call Eric Nottingham. "I'll join the expedition team to Glacia."

A New Dawn, A Different Path Chapter 9
When we arrived in Seacrest City, Alice gave everyone a month off to rest. We were to set out on another expedition to North Point in a month's time. Fireworks exploded in the sky as everyone celebrated the completion of a successful expedition. When I alighted from the ship and exited the harbor, I was stopped in my tracks. Every inch of the parking lot floor was covered in red roses, giving off the illusion of a sea set aflame. Luke stood in the center of that fiery sea. He was cradling a massive bouquet in his arms. He got onto one knee."Summer, welcome home. I don't care if you have a boyfriend. I still have the right to pursue you again."As I studied his clumsy attempt to win my favor, I felt like I was looking at myself from the past. While I was lost in my thoughts, Luke approached me before once again getting down on one knee."Summer, I only realized how much I cared about you after you left. I finally understood that what I felt for Riley was just my lingering feelings

The wind wailed around us, signalling the impending arrival of a snowstorm. Caleb and I immediately began our trek back to the research station. I shot a glance at Luke and his group and said, "If you don't want to die out here, follow us."Pleasant surprise laced his tone when Luke asked, "Summer, you're worried about me, aren't you? I'm still in your heart, so you don't want to see me in danger."I scoffed at him. "Glacia is a dangerous place. I don't want your group to sacrifice their lives for you because of your foolish actions. Don't get ahead of yourself."When we made it back to the research station, Luke approached me once again. "I admit that I was the one who was in the wrong in the past. I followed you across thousands of miles to show you how sincere I am. Summer, could you put the past behind us and give me another chance? Let's start over again, please?"He rummaged through his bag and pulled out an emerald-studded bracelet. I could tell with just a glance that this

It was hard for Caleb and me to find the items that he needed to repair the bracelet on such a small island. We spent most of the day searching through them. When we made our way back to the ship, the sun was already beginning to set.We were strangers on the island. The lingering looks that the people gave us made me anxious. Caleb was on high alert and he kept me close to his side. When we were nearly at the customs, three muscular men suddenly appeared behind us.The men brandished gleaming knives while wearing smiles that spelled trouble for us. They pointed at our bags and babbled in a language that we didn't understand. When they realized that we weren't going to bend to their demands, they rushed at us, wanting to take our items by force.Caleb kicked at one of the men who got too close to me, sending him flying. He then knocked the knife out of another man's hand with a well-timed hit. I was shocked to see the spectacle unfolding before my eyes. I had no idea that Caleb had

Riley denied Luke's accusation vehemently. Not convinced, Luke sent his men to check the surveillance tapes. The truth came to light after that. Luke's eyes reddened from anger as he shouted, "So it was you!"He snatched Riley's phone out of her hands and scrolled through it in a frenzy. When he came across the pictures that she had sent to me, he couldn't control himself anymore and slapped Riley hard across her face.…The ship sped toward the vast ocean, leaving the dock behind in its wake. The waters that had been a murky brown slowly turned into a crystal clear cerulean. I had cut myself off from my past and was heading toward a future that belonged solely to me.The cell signal on the ship got progressively weaker. After settling my work arrangements, I sat on the deck and quietly looked through the manual I had downloaded on my phone. The manual detailed how to repair a broken bracelet.My body trembled lightly as the ocean breeze blew past. Suddenly, a person blocked out t

The Logans were an old and powerful family in Seacrest City. More than half of Seacrest's finance circle had been invited to the wedding of the Logans' only son.Ever since I was a child, I loved clinging to Luke. No matter how fast he walked, as long as he turned his head, he would see me trailing after him. This time was no different. Luke had assumed that I was just throwing a temper tantrum and would come around eventually after my emotions had settled.I had dreamed of the wedding for over six years, after all. He didn't believe that I would miss it for the world. However, my car still hadn't shown up at the hall's entrance despite the seconds that ticked by. Luke's anxiety continued to spike until it reached a breaking point.He called his secretary. "Where are the people who were supposed to pick up Summer? The bride should be here by now!"The secretary's reply sent him into a full-blown panic attack. "Ms. Heathers isn't home. The guards said that she left the house early i

I cut myself out of the photographs before throwing the cut out images of me into a brazier and setting them on fire. I also found someone to sell off all the presents that Luke had ever gifted me. After my expedition qualifications application was approved, I dropped by the research institute to process the necessary paperwork.Eric reminded me once more, "Although we will do our best to ensure the safety of all members of the expedition team, the weather conditions in Glacia are unforgiving. There will always be risk involved no matter what precautions we take. Remember, safety always comes first."Considering the uncertainty that surrounded the expedition, I stopped by the Heathers' residence after leaving the research institute. When Mom passed away, she left an important item for me. She was afraid that it would stir up melancholy feelings of nostalgia within me, so she had me leave the item in the Heathers' residence.The Heathers' residence seemed to be stuck in the past,

Luke's face was ghostly pale as he sprinted toward us. He grabbed Riley just before she tumbled down the staircase. I kept an iron grip on my emotions as I watched the two of them. The worry that Luke harbored for Riley was so palpable that I could nearly see it manifest in a tangible form.Riley's eyes were filled with tears as she stared at me. "Summer, I admit it was my fault. I shouldn't have kept Mr. Logan by my side, and I've already apologized to you. But no matter how angry you are at me, you still shouldn't push me down the stairs!"Luke picked Riley up after hearing her words. His gaze burned with fury when he glared at me. "Why did you try to hurt her, Summer? You know that she was injured recently. She would lose her life if she fell down the stairs! Since when did you turn into such a horrible person?"With Riley cradled securely in his arms, Luke shoved past me and hurriedly left the scene. My stomach collided with the railing and the excruciating pain that came after

Luke had a look of impatience on his face when he turned his head. "I don't have much time. Whatever it is, you can tell me after I come back."I grabbed a coat and pressed it into his hands. "It gets chilly when it rains. I don't want you to catch a cold."Luke was frozen for a moment before he hurriedly pressed a kiss to my forehead. He stroked my stomach gently as he murmured, "Take care of Mommy, okay? Wait for Daddy to come home."I let out a heavy sigh as I watched his silhouette disappear. I rubbed circles on my stomach. "I'm afraid you won't be able to see Daddy again."Sunlight had broken through the layers of thick clouds when I woke up the next morning. I made an appointment for an abortion. When I passed by the gynecology department, I overheard the nurses talking amongst themselves with envy written all over their faces."Mr. Logan treats Mrs. Logan so well. He bought so many different types of supplements and luxury goods to comfort her after her miscarriage. He even

Eric Nottingham, the head of my department, was surprised after he heard my declaration. It wasn't the answer he had been expecting."Summer, this expedition will last close to two years. It will be a long and difficult assignment. Aren't you about to get married soon? Are you sure you want to join us? What does Luke think?"I looked at myself in the mirror—at the version of myself who hadn't yet been beaten down by the cruel passage of time. Conviction laced my voice as I said, "His opinion doesn't matter."Eric was stunned for a few moments before a knowing expression crossed his features."Understood. You have great potential when it comes to understanding the Glacian creatures. Since you've made up your mind, the expedition team welcomes you with open arms. Make your preparations. We leave next week."The expedition team was scheduled to depart on the same day as my wedding.Luke didn't take too long in the bathroom. Steam billowed out from behind him as he exited. The fog o
