Frances is intently chatting with the people beside him, and he doesn’t see me for the time being.
However, he is coming my way. If I don’t do anything, he will definitely find me.
I can’t bear to part with him, and I wish I could take a few more looks at him. However, I know that if I
delay for only a second, things might go wrong.
I can’t stake my baby on it, for I can’t afford to lose!
Suddenly, I saw a tall man in a windbreaker walking by.
Getting a brainwave, I throw caution to the winds and slip into his windbreaker, hugging him.
The man freezes, saying in poor Chinese, “Miss, what are you doing? It’s not decent of you.”
I don’t care if it’s decent or not. I can do anything to hide away from Frances!
I lower my voice and say to the man, “Could you please help me and turn around? A pervert has been
stalking me for a long time. I have to get rid of him.”
The man pauses for a moment and says, “Okay,” and turned his back to Frances.
I tilt my head a little and steal glances at Frances. He looks across at the man, but he quickly looks
away, and he doesn’t spot me.
I let out a sigh of relief, but I feel an overwhelming sense of loss.
Maybe I have been brainwashed by TV dramas into thinking that no matter where the female lead is,
the male lead can always feel her presence.
I am disappointed with Frances’ quick glance.
However, life is not a campy TV drama. Besides, I’m not his heroine at all.
He doesn’t even love me. How can he see me?
After Frances walks all the way out of the airport, I let go of the man and apologize to him, “I’m sorry.
Thank you very much for saving me.”
“You’re welcome.” The blonde man smiles at me and says, “As the Chinese saying goes - there is
greater merit in saving one life than in building a seven-tier pagoda. It looks like I have accumulated a
great merit.”
The man smiles, waving goodbye to me.
Wheeling my luggage, I get on the plane.
The moment the plane takes off, I know that I’m leaving this time.
Leaving this city, leaving Frances.
Goodbye, Frances.
No. Adieu, Frances.
Will I forget him even if I don’t see him anymore? I don’t know.
Two hours later, the plane lands at Municane Airport.
After getting off the plane, I follow Steven’s instructions and find the person who comes to pick me up.
He drives me to a private house, where I get on a helicopter.
My final destination is Prague, a fairyland. I hope I can start a new life there.
I’ve changed my phone, ID card, and bank card. Steven even makes up a complete story of my life.
Now, my name is Nancy. I moved to the Czech Republic with my parents when I was small. My father
is an engineer and my mother is a teacher. I live a simple and ordinary life.
The life I used to dream of, but was too far away.
I thought Steven was only paying lip service, but when I move into the house which he has arranged
and see a middle-aged couple inside, I realize how cautious he is.
He does all this to create a new identity for me, so that Frances will not be able to find me.
“Nancy, from now on, we will be your parents.”
