Wiping Away Traces of You Chapter 25
Filled with curiosity, Edgar asked, "What did he say to you? Can you tell me about it?"Jessica leaned down and pecked his forehead, then began to recount the encounter from 50 years ago. After finishing the story, she couldn't help but sigh."It's been 50 years now. I wonder if that young man ever won over his neighbor."Before she could continue, the door to the break room was open. Accompanied by some of the researchers, the head of the research base entered with a walking cane. He was an elderly man with white hair, and though he was old, he appeared to be in great spirits."Ms. Yale, this is Mr. Adrian Scott, the head of our research base," one of the researchers introduced."The laser and steam activation method used on you and Mr. Lawrie for thawing was a concept proposed by Mr. Scott 40 years ago.""Is that so?" Jessica stepped forward and offered Adrian a respectful handshake. "Thank you for helping thaw both me and my lover."Adrian smiled warmly at Jessica. "Ms. Yale,

Edgar's health was relatively poor, and it took a long time for the side effects of the thawing process to gradually subside.During his rest, Jessica patiently explained everything that had happened since his freezing."So it was all a lie? Cooper wasn't your boyfriend at all? He was someone you paid to trick me?" Edgar blinked at her, and Jessica suddenly felt guilty."Edgar," she said, putting on a stern face and acting solemn. "That was 50 years ago! You're not seriously going to hold a grudge over something from 50 years ago, are you?""What 50 years? This was just yesterday!" Edgar huffed.Jessica took out a calendar and pointed to the year 2074. "It's already 2074. Cooper might have already passed away by now. You should just forgive him."Edgar was utterly confused.He thought, "What does Cooper have to do with this? You were the one who hired him to deceive me! Though Cooper had stirred up trouble and insulted my parents, you're the real culprit!"Edgar puffed up his c

"Thawing countdown begins."The electronic female voice echoed through the room, and everyone's breathing caught in unison."I heard that the one being thawed today is the major shareholder of our cryonics lab. Many of our research bases and cryonic capsule storage facilities were funded by her.""That's right. I also heard that she was a super-rich heiress. But her lover was diagnosed with a terminal illness, so she chose to freeze herself so she could be with him.""She's rich and so deeply in love. What an exceptional woman. Her lover is so lucky!"The new lab staff whispered among themselves.Over the past 50 years, the love story of Jessica and Edgar had become a legend within the cryonics lab. Multiple versions of the story had been passed around, with many details omitted.Nonetheless, the core of their love had moved countless people."Five. Four. Three. Two… One. Thawing begins."As the countdown ended, the machines activated, releasing a burst of strong white gas tow

Harry was hoping to persuade Jessica to abandon her decision to freeze herself. However, no matter how much he tried, Jessica only had the same response."No matter if thawing is successful in the future or not, I won't change my mind. I've missed him once. I won't miss him a second time."If, in the future, thawing was successful, she would reunite with him. If not, then she would accompany him through heaven or hell.The deep sea was dark and cold. Without her by his side, how would her little one survive?Harry had said all that he could. With a heavy heart, he brought the consent form for Jessica to sign.Following that, the medical check-up and selection of the cryonic capsule were completed seamlessly. Jessica finished all the procedures in one day with remarkable efficiency.However, she didn't undergo freezing immediately.Before the cryonics, she had a few final matters to arrange. She withdrew all her savings and gave them to Harry, instructing him to build a new cryon

"Ms. Yale, are you serious about this?" You want us to freeze you?" Harry exclaimed in shock.Jessica nodded and answered calmly, "Yes, that's correct. Starting today, I'll be the largest shareholder of your cryonics lab. Ten percent of my company's annual income will be invested into your research base to help you develop thawing technology."Ten percent might not sound like much, but her company's monthly net profit exceeded billions."Ms. Yale, we are very grateful that you're willing to provide funding. But cryonics is mainly intended for patients suffering from terminal illnesses," Harry explained patiently."Currently, there is no cure for conditions like cancer and multiple organ failure with today's medical technology. Many patients suffering from these terminal diseases are still very young."Rather than waiting to die slowly, they prefer to undergo cryonics in the hopes that, in the future, medical advancements will make it possible to cure their conditions and save them

Three days later, Jessica finally stood before Edgar, who she had longed for day and night.Edgar lay in the cryonic capsule with his eyes closed. His expression was peaceful and serene, as though he were merely sleeping.Staring at him, Jessica couldn't help but recall those countless nights when she had gently lulled him to sleep. He had always slept quietly in her arms like this, as beautiful as a doll.The only difference now was that even his lashes were covered in frost.His face was so pale. He must be terribly cold in the capsule."Edgar, don't be afraid. I'll be with you soon. I'm sorry that I lied to you." Jessica reached out to touch his pale cheek, but her hand met only the cold surface of the capsule.She couldn't touch him.Just as he had so many times tried to touch her heart, only to be turned away."Actually, Cooper was never my boyfriend. I never loved him. The one I've always loved… is you. But I couldn't admit it."I thought if I acknowledged my love for yo

Jessica accepted the pen Adrian offered her, and with a heart full of reverence and awe for love, she began writing her thoughts in his book."To the unknown girl next door, your brother told me your story. He shared so much, and all I could hear was your kindness toward him and his unwavering affection for you. Even in your rejections, your words spoke of the weight of public opinion, not a lack of feelings for him."So, I'm guessing that you love the passionate and foolish young man who adores you too. But you can't admit it because you're the older one. You believe you should stay rational. While it's acceptable for him to act on impulse, you cannot."You feel obligated to sever this bond, as you believe it's the right thing to do to protect you both from society's judgment. But does the world's opinion really matter so much? You only live once. Would you rather live in fear, caged by the scrutiny of others, or fight courageously for yourself and the one you love?"Your devoted

When Adrian spoke about her neighbor, his eyes sparkled brightly. It was as if his entire life had been illuminated by her presence.However, his expression dimmed as he continued, "I waited for so long until I finally grew up. But when I confessed to her, she turned me down. She said the 12-year age gap was too much, and people would talk."I don't think age matters. True love can overcome anything. I want to prove to her that people today are more open-minded and that an age gap doesn't have to be an obstacle. I believe that as long as we face it with courage, we’re bound to reach a happy ending."So I'm gathering opinions from strangers. Miss, could you spare a few minutes to help me write down your views? I want her to see that although there will be gossip about us after we are together, there are more people in this world who will understand and support us."Adrian's words made Jessica's heart ache.He was brimming with passion and working tirelessly for love, and it reminde

Edgar's cryonic capsule was stored deep beneath the ocean.Harry explained to Jessica that the cryonics research team had only constructed a storage facility for the capsules in the deep sea and not a full experimental base.The storage facility was solely for preserving cryonic capsules and was uninhabitable for humans."Ms. Yale, as you probably know, conditions beneath the sea are vastly different from those on land. The low temperatures and immense pressure make constructing an experimental base down there prohibitively expensive."Frankly, our team has always struggled with funding. That's why we could only afford to build a storage facility. To protect the capsules from seawater corrosion, the facility is completely sealed. Even the air has been removed to prevent oxidation of the materials. There's simply no way for humans to enter it."If you insist on seeing Mr. Lawrie, we can use machinery to bring his capsule back to the surface. However, there will be a transportation

"Professor Lynch, I've made up my mind. Sign me up for the cryonics experiment," Edgar Lawrie said calmly.On the phone, Ben Lynch replied, "Edgar, are you absolutely sure? I understand the cancer diagnosis has hit you hard, but there's still hope for treatment—""I have late-stage lymphoma. There is no cure."Ben let out a heavy sigh. "But the cryonics technology isn't ready. They've never conducted live experiments before. There's a high chance you won't survive it. Please, think it over—""Professor," Edgar cut in with a faint smile, "my decision is final."Then, he ended the call.The phone displayed a breaking news headline from just minutes ago.In a photograph accompanying the article, Cooper Dixon and Jessica Yale were holding hands, their fingers intertwined. And on Cooper's ring finger sparkled a radiant blue diamond ring.Even through the screen, the gem's brilliance was blinding.Edgar bit down hard on his lip, but in the end, he couldn't hold back his tears.It w...
