After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage novel Chapter 122

Nolan's father froze momentarily before taking the document. As he read through it, his face gradually turned ashen. His fingers trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief"This... how is this possible?"

Evangeline leaned over to look and instantly turned deathly pale.

She swayed unsteadily, nearly losing her balance.

Inside the emergency room, Nolan's consciousness hovered between life and death.

His mind was flooded with images of Aurelia—

She stood in a white sundress, bathed in sunlight, her smile radiant as a flower; she nestled in his arms, her voice soft as honey; she looked at him through the prison's glass partition, her eyes filled with despair and loneliness...

"Aurelia..." His voice was barely audible as tears slid down his cheeks, soaking the pillowcase.

He couldn't believe she was dead, couldn't accept that his years of hatred toward her had been nothing but a cruel joke.

From beginning to end, Aurelia had been protecting him, loving him in her own way. She hadn't lied—he truly was the person she loved most in the world.

Yet it was him, had pushed her into the abyss with his own hands.

The emergency treatment continued for twenty-four hours. Several times Nolan approached death, only to be dragged back by the doctors' desperate efforts. When he finally regained consciousness, only his assistant remained in the room. Red-eyed, the assistant spoke hoarsely "Sir, you finally pulled through..."

Nolan's gaze drifted to the window, where sunlight filtered through the curtains, though it couldn't penetrate the darkness in his heart.

His voice was weak but resolute "Book me a flight to Tibet."

The assistant lowered his head, his voice breaking"Sir, following Miss Thorne's final wishes, her sky burial has already been performed. The burial master said her soul was pure and would surely ascend to heaven. Besides, you're too weak right now—even if you went, what good would it do?"

A flash of pain crossed Nolan's eyes as he closed them, tears falling silently. Yet he insisted"Book me a flight to Tibet!"

One day later.
