Chapter 20
However, all of this had nothing to do with him; he only cared about Karissa’s attitude.
In order to maximize the spread of this matter, Stanley immediately had the PR department upload this video to the company’s official website and placed advertisements on mainstream social media platforms in various countries around the world, replacing the company’s promotional videos.
As for his phone, it remained on and accessible at all times, fearing to miss any news related to Karissa.
Days passed by, and many people called to contact him, but none of them were the person he had been expecting
Initially, there were some scammers who falsely claimed to have seen Karissa, and they would randomly fabricate a meeting location
to ask him for money.
Stanley had a vague suspicion in his mind, but he chose to live solely on this thought, even if it meant deceiving himself by spending
money.
Over time, I don’t know how much money was wasted for this.
Orion Johanna saw it with his own eyes and felt the pain in his heart, but no one advised him not to spend money.
If spending some money could make him feel better, then let him go.
They had never imagined that Stanley’s mental state, already on the brink of despair, would deteriorate to such an extent.
Later, even the scammer had made enough money and didn’t want to deceive him anymore. Only a few unfamiliar women were left to
call him.
They did not shy away from their intentions and directly tempted him with a soft and seductive voice over the phone: “Mr. Vargas, even though your wife ignores you, if you feel lonely, we have all kinds of women here, even someone who looks like your wife…”
The last sentence infuriated Stanley, and he angrily exclaimed, “Get out! All of you, get out! Who allowed you to insult her like this? Get out!”
These malicious numbers became the first wave that he blocked.
Another month passed in the blink of an eye, and Stanley finally collapsed in his home, unable to hold on any longer.
Thanks to the timely discovery by the servant, he was sent to the hospital, which prevented his life from being endangered.
After the doctor’s diagnosis, with a solemn expression, the doctor called Stanley’s parents outside and said, “His mental condition is very poor. If it continues to deteriorate, he is likely to have suicidal thoughts. It would be best if you could send him for psychological
treatment as soon as possible.”
Orion Johanna was well aware of the root cause of his heartache, but they were helpless.
They bought Karissa the best plot in the cemetery and placed the blood–stained clothes inside.
The two elderly people placed flowers in front of the tombstone and also burned incense.
“Karissa, Stanley has realized his mistake, may you rest in peace beneath the nine springs.”
They didn’t know that at this time, Karissa was on a journey around the world, never having been online and never having paid. attention to any news related to the past.
Stanley was ultimately sent to a sanatorium.
It took five years to live there before being discharged and returning to a normal life.
He, however, completely lost his enthusiasm for work and chose to withdraw from the management team by receiving dividends from
his shares.
From that day on, he bid farewell to his past life and embarked on a journey around the world alone, wanting to see with his own eyes the places that he had planned with Karissa but never set foot in.
Until he arrived at a certain island country abroad, a family of three on the other side of the beach caught his attention.
My wife was a young and beautiful woman. She held a camera in her hand, taking pictures of a child building a sandcastle. Her profile was gentle and serene, just as lovely as it was back then.
Another tall man walked up to the child and lifted him up, placing him on his own neck. Then, with a doting expression, he took his
wife’s hand.
“Mya, what did you want to eat tonight?”
“Anything is fine, it depends on what the baby wants to eat.”
The child rode on his father’s neck like a horse and laughed happily, saying, “Mom, I want to eat French fries.
“Okay, then let’s have some French fries.”
The man sneered, “I thought you would stop me from eating, after all, French fries are not healthy.”
The woman pouted, “But I also wanted to eat.”
“Okay, let’s go together.”
Mya.
For some reason, when Stanley heard this name, he suddenly felt his heart stop beating
Mya, was leaving.
Could it be her?
In the hesitation, her figure had already disappeared from sight.
The three of them never noticed the presence of another person beside them, and they walked away laughing like that.
