Nora hurriedly said, "Iris... There's something I have to tell you. Justin is..."
"Let's not talk about him anymore, okay? If you're going to look for him, then I'd rather you forget him. Nora, one's life is what matters the most, remember this."
Iris looked at her, her eyes were full of heartache. "I'd always thought that you're a calm and rational person but it turns out that you are just like everyone else when you encounter something like this. Nora, I didn't expect you to love Justin so much. You really shouldn't do anything silly..."
Nora:"..."
The corners of her lips spasmed. At last, Nora found a break in Iris' speech and interrupted her.
"Justin is not dead."
"I know, I know."
Iris nodded.
Nora was stunned. "You do?"
Iris's eyes became even redder. "Yes, he is not dead. He will always live on in your heart."
Nora:"?"
Iris sighed and held her hand. "You should live on properly with him. Justin was only twenty-six years old when he said goodbye to this world. Take him with you as you look at every place in this world."
Nora:"...
"He'd want you to become his eyes and admire the Northern Lights and the frozen Antarctic that stretches on for miles. He'd also want to watch the three children grow up and have their own families... Nora, can you promise me that you'll look at all this for him??"
The corners of Nora's lips spasmed again. At last, she said, "He's not dead yet. He has eyes too, he can see all that himself."
Iris:"?"
She was stunned. "Nora, when you say he's not dead, you mean...?"
Nora nodded. "It's exactly what you're thinking. He's still alive, so he can look at this world! He's not dead!"
Iris:"!!"
The room fell silent for a moment.
After a while, Iris finally understood. Nevertheless, she still asked, "Then where did he go? And why did he fake his death?"
Nora recounted what had happened. In the end, she shook her head and said, "I'm not sure about the specifics, either. He's in Switzerland now. Now that you're back, I'm going to Switzerland to look for him."
Iris asked, "He hasn't contacted you yet?"
Nora nodded, vaguely feeling a little uneasy.
Iris frowned. "Surely he didn't hit his head in the explosion and lose his memory, right?"
Nora:"?"
Iris sighed. "That's why he hasn't contacted you all this time—because he has forgotten you. Nora, you should go to him now, but maybe he has already been rescued and is mistaking his rescuer for his lover in his daze. If that's the case, then Nora, hurry and bring him home!"
Nora: "???"
Did she think this was a TV drama? Or a novel?
How could something that corny possibly happen?!
The corners of Nora's lips spasmed. "Well, I have to go to Switzerland now, so I will leave the domestic affairs to you. As for the children... I will have to trouble you to take care of them!"
