If I didn’t make a decision soon, I would face the double torment of burning flames and rapid descent.
I gently touched my pregnant belly, tears blurring my vision.
“My baby, I’m so sorry for everything.”
I sent one final message to Keith before I jumped.
[I’m breaking up with you for your happiness. Farewell.]
In the next instant, my spirit found itself in the hospital.
Michelle was leaning against Keith, her voice trembling.
“My heart hurt so badly just now. I thought I was going to die.”
Keith gently patted her head. “Don’t say such silly things,” he said softly.
“I hope Astrid is okay. She’s been calling you nonstop,” Michelle said as she feigned concern.
“What’s wrong with her? When we were out at the skydiving park with the boys last time, she was the only one who would make the jump. I taught her how to skydive, so she should be home already but she’s saying the house is on fire now.”
Michelle looked at him tensely. “The house is on fire?”
Keith hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Yeah…”
“Then… shouldn’t you go back and check?”
“I told her to call the fire department. There’s nothing I can do even if I go back. Right now, you’re the patient, and your life is more important.”
He gazed at Michelle with nothing but adoration.
Despite my death, I felt a sharp pain in my heart as I watched the scene unfold.
Was my life so insignificant to him?
He didn’t even bother to ask about my condition, ignoring it as if it didn’t matter.
I had taken care of him while he had been in a wheelchair for two years, yet all I received in return was his indifference.
Keith wanted to take leave to care for Michelle, but his supervisor sternly ordered him back to work.
I followed him back to the park office.
The supervisor wore a serious expression as he spoke to Keith.
“Who authorized you to take tourists to Zone A?”
Zone A was known for its treacherous terrain.
Once a hot air balloon encountered problems, finding a flat landing spot was nearly impossible.
Inexperienced individuals would be incapable of executing a safe emergency parachute jump.
Keith brushed it off.
“They’re not exactly tourists. One is my girlfriend, and the other is an old friend. My girlfriend can skydive. She wouldn’t get into trouble.”
His supervisor remained skeptical.
“The rescue team reported receiving a distress call but didn’t find anyone at the landing site. It’s likely that they deviated from their intended location and got into an accident.
“They said it’s probably Astrid.”
