Chapter 5

For the fourth episode, "Never to Meet Again," Lily and I sat on the couch.

I took out my medical report. When Lily saw the words "late-stage acute leukemia," she burst into tears.

"Aria, let's not film anymore. I don't want the money. Please go get treatment, okay? If your husband won't go with you, I'll go with you."

The young girl cried so hard that the camera drifted away. I had to steady the phone and face the camera myself.

"Stop crying, your nose is running. If this video goes viral, you'll definitely become a meme."

Lily finally stopped crying and said chokingly, "Aria, if you have any wishes, tell me. I'll make sure to fulfill them for you."

I smiled lightly at the camera,

"Lucas, by the time you see this video, I'll be resting eternally in the snow-capped mountains."

I frowned, thinking quietly for a moment,

"Which do you think is better, the Swiss Alps or the Rocky Mountains? You said you'd take me to see snow-capped mountains, but I guess that's not possible in this lifetime."

"Lucas, don't come looking for me. Let me rest peacefully in the mountains. I don't want to be in a cemetery. I'm afraid all the neighboring graves will have visitors, but mine won't. Even as a ghost, I'd be embarrassed."

I muttered softly,

"I'm more afraid that you'll bring your new love to see me, or even your children with her. That would remind me of our child."

I sat up straight and smiled,

"Lucas, it's time to say goodbye."

"No, not goodbye. We'll never meet again."

I inserted a few video clips captured by a private investigator,

In a private room at a bar, Lucas and his best friends were each holding a beautiful woman, playing truth or dare. The bottle landed on Lucas.

His friends jeered,

"Who's better in bed, Aria or your new girl?"

Lucas smirked, pressing down on the girl beside him and biting her hard,

"Of course it's my new girl. She's mind-blowing, exciting."

"Aria's like a dead fish." The atmosphere grew more intense,

"Who was your last time with?"

"Of course, with my new girl. In the car, it was hot and intense."

"Hahaha..."

I was familiar with that private room, but I had left early.

I didn't expect the lead role to change in just a moment.

I played another video from before,

"Come on, who told you to call these questionable women? Besides your sister-in-law, who else could I possibly be interested in?"

Someone lit a cigarette, and Lucas immediately put it out,

"My wife doesn't like the smell of smoke."

Someone opened a bottle of wine, and Lucas threw it away, "My wife doesn't like me drinking."

Someone turned up the music, and Lucas immediately lowered the volume,

"My wife doesn't like it too loud."

At that moment, Lucas had already peeled and cut the perfect fruit and was handing it to me,

"Honey, eat more fruit. It's good for your skin."

...

At the end of the video, Lily was crying so hard her nose was bubbling, but she still held up my diagnosis notice to summarize the video.

After finishing the video, I sent Lily away, telling her to release the video a month later.

I also asked her to send a copy directly to Lucas.

I spent half a day donating all the things Lucas had bought for me to charity foundations.

I had the cleaners take down our wedding photos, and packed all my toothbrushes, towels, clothes, teacups, and other belongings into black garbage bags.

In less than three hours, the house was completely cleared out.

I picked up my bag, gently closed the door, and headed to the airport.

A month later, Lucas was watching the news when suddenly a viral wish-fulfillment livestream popped up.

It had over a million followers.

Lucas casually clicked on it, and his heart suddenly jolted. He stared wide-eyed at Aria, the subject of the wish video.

A month ago, hadn't she gone to their secret base for research?

Today was exactly one month, and he had specially prepared a grand fireworks display to celebrate her successful return.

Lucas's heart began to race. He quickly clicked on the first video.
