TimeNovelHe quickly calmed down a bit and didn’t push Layla away. He asked in a deep voice, “Where's Iris? Is she up
there? I'm her husband,
Heriberto, and | need to see her now.”
“Husband?” Layla frowned, “Mr., Ms. Aguilera said she had divorced long ago, now she’s single.”
“So, Iris did live here?”
Heriberto couldn’t contain his excitement and grabbed Layla’s arm, asking urgently, “Tell me, where is she now?
Is she resting upstairs?”
“Ms. Aguilera did live here, but, this morning, no, | mean yesterday morning, she left, not at home,” Layla
replied.
“Out already?!”
Heriberto paused, gripping Layla’s arm tighter, “Did she say where she was going?”
Layla shook her head, “Sir Knighton said you cto see her, asked if she wanted to meet you, Ms. Aguilera
said no, so you just left.”
Iris left...
To avoid him, Iris left again.
Rationally, Heriberto knew it would definitely be like this.
Emotionally, he couldn't handle it.
He searched for her for half a year.

shouted Iris’s nas he searched.
No one...
No one...
No one showed up again.
Still no one...
No one was there...
Every room was clean and tidy, but there was no one in any of them.
There was a room, Heriberto was sure, that was Iris’s room.
The decoration in the room is similar to the master bedroom in AVilla.
Most importantly, it still had Iris’s unique smell and vibe lingering

Iris used to study medicine and loved playing with different herbs. She always had a faint medicinal scent that
others didn’t have.
This medicine smells really good, with a refreshing taste that makes you fall in love with it at first sniff.
He searched through all the rooms.
When he went into Iris’s room for the second time, he was devastated, like a child abandoned by the whole
world, standing by the bed where Iris had slept.
He sat down by the bed, grabbed the pillow Iris had slept on, hugged it tightly, and buried his face in it, trying

He closed his eyes, tears welled up and fell down at spoint, murmuring, “Iris, | know | was wrong, can’t you

They aimed their guns at Heriberto, who was sitting on the bed hugging a pillow and crying like a child, and
shouted, “Don’t move!”
