All Chapters of A Second Chance From The Heavens: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

“Is there something on your mind tonight, Lise?” Matthew asked carefully. He didn’t want to jump to any conclusions just yet. “I’m not sure about this, but I feel like there’s something you want to tell me. Is there?”Allison stilled for a second before eventually nodding. “I’ve been thinking a lot, Mattie,” she said slowly. “About what will happen once the treatment goes well. What I’ll do from then on.”“I see…” Matthew said, letting his voice drift off, silently encouraging her to continue.“I know you won’t be there for me anymore, that this is all just a temporary arrangement,” Allison said. “After going through treatment a number of times, my mind became clearer, and I think I’ve become well enough physically and mentally to come to a decision.”Matthew still had no idea where this was leading, but he kept silent, not wanting to interrupt her.“As I said earlier, I want to rekindle my passion for life. I used to immerse myself in working at the lab, right? Though I’m not sure I

A few days had passed, and now, today was probably the day when Allison would receive the results. Even though the doctor didn’t specify what date, it was clear that they would be receiving a call or message within this week.Matthew was anxious. If the treatment didn’t go well, it would spell the worst circumstance for Allison. She would have to be hospitalized again and go through several treatments. Worst case scenario, she would succumb to the cancer—No. No! That wasn’t going to happen. Not on his watch.He would find the best doctor in the entire world to treat her. He would do everything as long as she would get better.She had to get better! She had suffered enough already. She still had a lot of precious years left in her life that she needed to live.However, unlike him, Allison was as calm as ever. It was as if she already knew that it would be successful. The confidence in her stride and the relaxation on her features showed as much.He didn’t know how she could do that. U

Matthew felt the heaviness in his heart grow stronger as he packed his bags. He looked at his surroundings, wondering when exactly he had grown used to this place. He hadn’t even stayed here for at least half a year, but it felt like he’d been here forever.The thought of leaving this place felt strange, like everything had just been a dream. A dream of seeing Allison again and taking care of her, making her feel that she wasn’t alone. A warm dream filled with sadness and anxiety, but one that he didn’t regret.After his argument with Allison, he decided to leave. It hurt to think that she had all those thoughts in her head, that she was still suffering even with his presence.Just when he thought that he could provide her with some comfort, it turned out that he was wrong. He hadn’t been comforting her at all, it seemed.But what about those grateful looks and words that she sent towards him? What about those warm ‘thank you’ words and that gentle, reassuring squeeze of his hand? Wha

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

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
