Chapter 5
I turned around and disappeared into the crowd before Victor could react.
There was a moment when he suddenly felt that a part of his body was missing, as if something had been forcefully torn
off.
The last time I had this feeling was when Giselle signed the divorce agreement.
Recalling these days of Giselle, the seed of unease in his heart kept growing.
She was quiet and calm, as if an outsider watching everything without any ripples.

Just a while ago, Giselle was still snuggling in his arms, complaining that he was always busy, even missing their date on
her birthday.
He thought he would file for a fake divorce.
Giselle went crazy and fought with him, and he even prepared to put in some effort to resolve it.
But she didn’t, she just calmly signed her name.
There was even a moment when he wished Giselle would tear up the agreement and argue with him.
He wanted to leave everything behind and go with Giselle, but he didn’t do anything.
He thought, it’s okay, she loved him, she would understand him, it was just a temporary solution, when all of this is over,
he will treat her well.
Sylvia, however, could not.
He couldn’t let Sylvia be harmed. When the car was out of control, Sebastian threw himself at him, disregarding the
danger. Sebastian died in his place.
If it weren’t for Sebastian, he wouldn’t have survived until today.
Before Sebastian passed away, he tightly held her hand and softly whispered Sylvia’s name. He didn’t want to break his
promise, he had to take care of Sylvia.
Linden asked him, “If one day, Giselle and Sylvia were both kidnapped, and you could only choose one, who would you
save?”
