Jason turned away, his eyes suddenly reddening. "That's why I wanted to give us a chance to start over, but when I went to get the marriage certificate with her, I found that I really... couldn’t do it!"

He punched an iron pole by the roadside, scraping his knuckles and making them bleed.

Hearing this, Larry continued smoking silently, then said goodbye to Jason and walked towards his home.

Thinking of Freya, I couldn’t stop my tears from falling.

She was always so cheerful and bright, calling me dearly since she was a child. She loved sharing everything fun and delicious with me.

Her death will forever be a painful wound in my heart.

At that moment, Jason picked up the phone again, this time calling Ebby.

The call didn’t go through.

Jason panicked and redialed repeatedly, muttering, "Where is she? Why isn’t she answering?"

He drove quickly towards Ebby’s place.

On the way, Jason ran three red lights and overtook several cars. After parking, he was still on the phone.

"Ebby, where are you? Answer the phone..."

He rang the doorbell frantically, but there was no response from inside.

In desperation, Jason pulled out a key and unlocked the door, shouting, "Ebby!"

His voice was trembling.
