Chapter 962

Why did she commit suicide?

Was it because she was in too much pain and felt too hopeless to continue, so that was why she did

it?

I lowered my head and looked at the white floor that was without a single blemish. Its whiteness

made my eyes hurt.

For people who refused to spare themselves, committing suicide was indeed the best way to free

themselves.

After having breakfast, I took a cab to Jade Imperial Mountain.

On top of the mountain was the largest local church. People went up all the time to pray for

themselves and their families.

The road up the mountain was extremely treacherous. When I was almost at the top, I followed

those who hiked up the mountain and made the sign of the cross.

"You didn't bring any knee pads, Miss?" the old man beside me asked.

The old man's eyes were moist. There was a faint and soft smile on his lips. He was a tender and

kind person.

I smiled a little. "If I just have to suffer a little pain so that those I love can be happy, then I’m willing

to bear such pain."

The old man shook his head and smiled. "Silly child."

When I got to the top of the mountain, my knees could hardly bend anymore.

After entering the church, I knelt in front of the cross and put my hands together to pray. "Please be

merciful, oh Lord, and may the dead rest in peace."

Songs of worship entered my ears as I stared longingly at the cross.

All the sorrows and sufferings of this world needed to be liberated by oneself. No one else could

offer any sort of help.

Life was bitterly short, and everything was merely a passing cloud. Only by letting go would one be

liberated.

Could I really let go, though?

I left Zenon the next day and took the train to Riverbank City.

Riverbank City was located in the southernmost area and was a highly developed city.

I figured that I could only keep myself from dying too soon if I lived in a city full of smoke and people

bustling about to make a livelihood.

When I arrived at Riverbank City, I first went to the business hall to change to a local SIM card.

Then, I went to a real estate agency to rent a room.

The land here was very expensive, so I only rented a house that was 645 square feet. Although it

was merely 645 square feet, its rent was as high as 2,000 dollars a month.

I tidied up the house and bought some necessities. The next day, I started running around to look

for a job. 1

I eventually applied for a job in the logistics department of Linda Corporations and led a nine-to-five

life. It took me 28 days to fully adapt to such a life. The people and things in Whaldorf City were

completely out of my mind now.

It was now mid of July. Riverbank City was located in the southernmost area, and due to problems

with the company's electrical system, the higher-ups notified everyone to get off work early as the

lack of air conditioning was truly tormenting.

I was packing up my things to go home when Horton Zafron, my colleague, walked toward me with

a pile of documents in his arm. He said helplessly, "The higher-ups are in a rush to use these. We

might have to endure the high temperature and work for another half an hour."

It H

I put down my bag and wiped off the sweat from my forehead before sighing. "I won't be joining the

evening gathering, then."

"That’s not very good.” Horton Zafron disagreed. "It won’t be good if you’re the only person absent

for the department gathering.”

I looked up at him and softly sighed. "Can’t you see that I have a lot of work to do and need to work

overtime?"

Horton put on a helpless look. "We can both handle these documents in less than half an hour."

After a pause, he continued, "You'll have to socialize one way or another.”
