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
A Second Chance From The Heavens Chapter 75: What Now?
Allison instantly sat up in bed, shock filling her system. She could’ve just been hearing things, right? “A… Are you sure?” she said, unable to restrain the tremor in her voice. “But I thought…” Matthew sat up as well and turned on the lampshade on the nightstand, bathing the room with a small orange glow, just enough to illuminate their faces. “What’s this about, Lise?” Matthew asked gently. His tone wasn’t annoyed or judgmental. He sounded genuinely curious and concerned. “All these questions… could it be that they’re related to the dream you had?” “I… yes,” Allison admitted. There was no point in lying to him about this, after all. Besides, she had no other reason aside from this. “Really? I admit though, you really surprised me when you mentioned the villa in Rosenburg…” Matthew stared at her intently, like he was scrutinizing her. Allison was instantly reminded of what she looked like when she examined a specimen in a lab, courtesy of candid photos from one of her mischievous

“Mattie, what career do you think suits me?”“Huh?”The two of them were sitting in the living room, enjoying a rare day off. Actually, Allison could choose to keep working on the project back at the lab today even though it was Sunday, but she decided not to.She was going to have this kind of conversation sooner or later anyway. There was no point in delaying it any longer.Matthew was staring at her in surprise. “What?” He looked like he had been caught off-guard. “I thought you like being a scientist.”“I think it’s time for a change.”Matthew’s features softened. “Is this about the doctor’s appointment that you had a week ago?”Last week, she finally made time to go to the hospital. It was pointless to delay it, so she had to swallow her pride and face the music. She used to hate going to hospitals, especially after what happened to her father and mother. Hospitals were places of death. That was what she believed as a child and a teenager.When she became an adult and entered the

“…Sorry. I think I got confused for a second,” Allison said, hoping that Matthew wouldn’t get too suspicious. “In my dream, I was 31 years old…”“Oh.” A shadow passed over Matthew’s face. “This dream really got to you, huh?”Allison chuckled mirthlessly. “Pathetic, right? I’m letting a dream take over my life…”“Not pathetic,” Matthew said quickly. “That’s not… wow, I’m being quite the eloquent guy today, huh?” He shook his head. “Still, it’s understandable that you’re feeling uncertain because of it. After all, there are risk factors for cancer… and I don’t think it’s healthy for you to be exposed to so much radiation and chemicals for years, either. Also, you did quit smoking, so…”“Yeah, I did. It was much harder than I thought.” Allison felt that it was easier this time though. Maybe because in the future, she didn’t smoke for five whole years.Even though her body in this timeline got withdrawal symptoms, she was adamant about not going back. To think that she had been abusing he

And now seven years later, they were here, married and sitting together in the living room. They had really gone a long way…Her seventeen-year-old self would never have imagined that they would’ve ended up like this.Allison looked at Matthew with a warm smile.“Yes, I remember,” she said softly. “You still recall that story?”“Of course I do. I remember that I thought it would have a happy ending.” He chuckled. “I was sad when I reached the end. I felt a little empty, too. I thought for sure that he would turn back into a human…”“Well, there’s always something that can break a curse, even if it’s just one thing,” Allison said. “They just never figured it out, that’s all.”“So there was a way to break the curse?” Matthew said, eyes wide. “You never told me that.”“I didn’t think it was important enough to say. Also, I never intended on making the characters find out about it.”“Can I know what it was? Was it true love’s kiss?” he asked teasingly.The corner of Allison’s lips curved
