- 17.
Mark rushed to the apartment and took Lily to
the hospital.
On the way, Mark said, “You’re so stupid! I
wasn’t going to leave you. I just didn’t know
what to do.”
Lily went into surgery.
Richard and Susan heard the news and didn’t
care.
They didn’t go to the hospital.
Lily had leaked the formula to Jeff, and
Richard Enterprises was hurt.
Richard and Susan hated Lily.
Also, they heard that Lily was trying to force
Mark to marry her.
Richard and Susan liked Crystal. Lily was
ruining everything.
The doctor came out of the operating room
and said, “We did everything we could.”
Mark punched the wall.
Richard said, “She deserved it.”
Susan started crying. “She brought this on
herself. We were good to her.”
When Crystal went to her appointment, Mark
didn’t answer her calls.
After several calls, Mark answered and said,
“Can you not bother me? I have a headache.”
“We’re done. I’ll take care of the baby,”
Crystal said. She hung up.
Crystal knew that Mark wasn’t worth it.

LITTIO,

Tibet.
I knew Mark would try to get back at me.
Last time, he drove his car into me. He would
do it again.
The day I packed, I called Richard and Susan.
“I’m going to Tibet. I heard there’s a temple
there.”
Richard and Susan said they wanted to go.
I said, “You’re too old. You might get altitude
sickness. You shouldn’t go.”
They said they wanted to go.
I booked their tickets.
I knew Mark would wait a few days. Then, he
would find out that Crystal had an abortion
and that she had left him.
He would realize it was all my fault.
He was going to get back at me.
He sent me a message: “You can’t run away.
What if I hurt your mom and brother?”
replied: “I moved them If you want me
come get me.”
I moved my foster mom.
My brother was in college in Chicago. He was
on winter break, so I bought him a ticket to
Europe.
I had to make sure they were safe.
Mark couldn’t find them, he would come after
- me.
He bought a ticket.
I called Jeff Jiang. “Are you feeling better?”
He was surprised. “I’m fine. Why?”
I said, “Remember what you said about
getting Mark back? There’s a chance now.”
Jeff understood. “Tell me his schedule.”
“I will,” I said.
Richard and Susan got sick and stayed in the
hotel.
I went hiking. Mark followed me.
There were no cameras on the mountain.
L
Mark came out. “You shouldn’t have come
back. You have to pay for what you did to
Lily!”
I said, “You cared about her so much. You
should go to hell with her.”
“You’re so stubborn!” Mark raised his hiking
stick.
Two men came up and grabbed him.
Mark looked at me. “You paid them? You’re
crazy!”
“I didn’t want to get my hands dirty.” I looked
at the cliff. “Jeff Jiang does.”
The men lifted Mark and threw him off the
cliff.
“Ahhh!”
“You’ll pay for this!” Mark screamed, and his
voice faded.
I gave the men some money and said, “He’s
dead. Keep it a secret.”
The men took the money and left.

Jeff called me. “I admire you. Let’s get
married!”
I laughed. Jeff wasn’t good enough.
Jeff asked, “What do you want?”
“We’re not the same,” I said. “I can get what I
want myself.” I hung up.
