A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 67: True Reality
Allison watched from the window of the guest bedroom as Matthew paused in his steps to take out his phone. He pressed the device against his ear, talking with a warm smile.There was only one reason he would speak to someone with a smile like that.He was probably talking to Lily.He must be very happy right now.Allison felt the bitterness pooling in her gut, but it was quickly washed over with a tide of overwhelming sadness. This was her decision, and she would stand by it until the end.She continued to watch as Matthew talked on the phone while going to the car. She stared as the car door closed before the vehicle sped away.And then all remains of her mask slipped away, like water running down her face and dripping down the floor.“Goodbye…” she whispered as she pulled away from the window and went towards her bedroom.‘Now, I don’t need to put up an act anymore,’ she thought as she stood before the mirror inside the room. ‘This was the worst.’It had been the most difficult deci
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 68: Is It The End?
The villa was deathly quiet as Allison packed her bags. She didn’t have many possessions left; the things that Matthew brought from her old apartment were all relatively useless.She decided that she would throw them away once she left this place.Except for the ultrasound photos and the letters. She would keep those.Allison made sure to stay for a few more days in order not to arouse any suspicions from the staff that was left in the villa. She dismissed the private healthcare team that Matthew assigned her, telling them that she would be going back and forth from the hospital for the maintenance therapy, so their services were done.After that, she told the staff that she would be leaving the villa for good.“Tell Matthew — I mean, Mr. Laurier — that I found someplace to stay for the meantime,” Allison told one of the maids. “Tell him that Marina is taking me in for a while until I get back on my feet. Also, inform him not to communicate with either Marina or me from now on, that h
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 69: A New Story
Darkness.It was the only thing that Allison could see.She felt like her body — or soul, perhaps? — was floating in the air, in the middle of an abyss. Her mind was blank, like it had been wiped clean. She didn’t know who she was or where she was floating to.And then, the darkness faded away.When Allison opened her eyes the next moment, she could see a white ceiling.Her brain was groggy as she tried to remember the last thing in her memories. Everything was fuzzy, including her vision.The recent thing she could recall…Ah.She died, didn’t she?Allison blinked. The white ceiling was still there, and the lights were blinding her eyes.She closed them momentarily. Was she alive? What was she doing here?Was she still in the hospital?But how could she have survived?Allison groaned slightly as she tried to sit up in bed. Surprisingly, her body didn’t feel so sore anymore. The pain throbbing in her skin was no longer there, and her high fever had seemingly subsided.Did the doctors
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 70: A Scientific Explanation
There was no possible rational explanation for this.‘Going back in time?’ Allison wanted to shake her head at the absurdity of the thought.Time travel.Basically, a hypothetical ability to travel backward or forward in time. It was usually a popular concept in science fiction, but until now, there was only scientific debate and speculation about its possibility.Some scientists explored the idea and even proposed a few methods, but everything was purely theoretical, and they may even violate known laws of physics.Allison herself believed that time travel was merely a fantasy.But what could have triggered this?While Allison was deep in thought, Matthew waved a hand in front of her face, his expression still puzzled. “Lise?” he called out. “You’re scaring me a little.”Allison snapped out of her trance and stared at him in surprise. Right… She was here with him now.2016? That meant they were still married…Were they?Allison was dizzy with confusion. Just days ago, she drove Matth

“It’s fine. I’m not that busy,” Allison said, trying her best to act normal. There was plenty of time to freak out later, once she was all alone. This was all too much to process for now. “I can spare a checkup.”Matthew was still looking at her oddly. “You’re not that busy?” he repeated. “But aren’t you and your team supposed to work hard starting this month for that new project you mentioned?”Oh.Damn.“Still, getting a day off won’t hurt,” Allison insisted stubbornly.Matthew’s eyes widened. “Who are you and what have you done with Allison Whitney?” he exclaimed, his voice tinged with disbelief. “Are you sure you’re okay?”Allison blushed in embarrassment. “What’s the big deal?” she asked defensively.“You never take a day off!” Matthew said, his eyes still not reverting to their original size. “You didn’t even want to miss your meeting on my birthday last year!”A wave of guilt instantly washed over Allison. She had really been neglecting this man, hadn’t she?She really needed t
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 72: Adjustment Period (I)
The day went on strangely for Allison. Not in a negative way, fortunately.She went to work and was awed at the place. She hadn’t been back here for years. The interior, the people, the atmosphere, the scent... all of them were so familiar and nostalgic. It felt like Allison had come back home.She had to review her notes on her phone while on her way to work. Thankfully, she was organized enough to type down to-do lists and reminders on her phone just so she could make sure that every detail was taken care of. It had been so long, so she might be forgetting a lot of things...Oh god, what if she made a mistake? It had been so long since she last worked as a scientist...Fortunately, everything went okay in the end.The meeting went well, and she managed to do a bit of progress on the team’s new project. It turned out that going back to work personally made her unconsciously remember everything like it was second nature. Like her body and mind remembered deep inside, and then she simpl
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 73: Adjustment Period (II)
After Allison finished eating dinner, she went up to the bedroom and started reviewing her notes. Even though the meeting went fine earlier, it was only because her colleagues had a lot of things to talk about. The team leader was keeping track of everything and asking for opinions here and there.Fortunately, Allison wasn’t put under the spotlight, and she didn’t blurt out anything irrelevant. She had vague memories about the project, but what mattered the most were their observations and statistics from the experiments they conducted in the lab. Since the project wasn’t making much progress yet because they only started recently, she didn’t have a reason to be worried.She simply needed to review her findings tonight.Which… shouldn’t be too hard.As Allison tried to make sense of all the numbers and scientific explanations in the notebook, she heard the sound of the bedroom door opening.When she turned her head, she saw Matthew entering the room, staring at her in surprise.“Hard
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 74: The Bad Dream
“Ah, a nightmare?” Matthew said softly. “It must’ve felt so real.”“It did. I still can’t get it out of my head,” Allison admitted.“But it’s just a dream, isn’t it?”“I… I’m not sure.”When the words accidentally left her lips, Allison instantly knew that it was the wrong thing to say.“What?” Matthew suddenly shifted beside her. Even in the darkness, she could feel his confused gaze on her. “Why aren’t you sure? Of course it’s just a dream.”“I… Yeah. Yeah, it is,” she said, stumbling on her words. “Sorry. I guess I must still be thinking too much about it.”Matthew seemed to relax a little. Reaching out, he grasped her hand and squeezed it warmly, reassuringly. “Do you want to talk about it?” he asked softly. “Maybe talking about it will help you feel better. Only if you want to, though.”Allison was silent for a moment. “It’s… ridiculous, though.”“Well, aren’t most dreams? I’ve had random ones before. Wanna hear about it?”Allison couldn’t help the small smile that curved her lip
