Liam watched as his friend left with Avery's ashes.
Evan dined with Avery's ashes, conversed with them, and slept beside them, acting as if possessed, showing no interest in the outside world.
When Liam visited, he found Evan sunbathing with the urn, reciting a foreign poem to it.
"Evan, you don't go to the office or back to the Foster home. Are you really planning to waste your life like this? Haven't you thought about your aged parents? You're the only son of the Foster family, and all their hopes rest on you. The campany needs you; the Foster family needs you," Liam said with seriousness.
"I only want to be needed by her."
Evan's face gently rubbed against the urn, his movements tender, like a lover's caress.
He remembered Avery's harsh final words: "Evan, you'd better not regret your cruelty today, because whether I'm alive or dead, I will endlessly haunted you."
"Avery, I regret it. What do I do? I'm filled with regret..."
Liam, moved by Evan's grief, softened his voice. "Evan, you need to relax. Go on a trip, change your surroundings, and face life anew."
This suggestion caught Evan's attention. After a long pause, he slowly said, "Perhaps."
Liam guessed the beginning but not the end. Evan would take the urn on his travels.
By the time Liam realized, it was too late to stop him.
Surprisingly, when Evan returned, he was once again the distinguished Mr. Foster, with no trace of his previous despondency.
Still concerned, Liam watched Evan. He was relieved to see that Evan was no longer clinging to Avery's ashes all day. At least on the surface, Evan seemed normal.
Evan's most significant activity was not in the business world but through the global ads he posted searching for his wife.
Liam knew Evan couldn't let go of Avery. She was long gone, yet he refused to accept this reality, deceiving himself with these ads.
When Megan saw Evan's ads on a large screen, she became uneasy, her joy from Avery's death dissipating. Unable to hold back, she went to find Evan.
Megan arrived at the entrance of just as a foreign man was leaving. Startled, she turned pale and quickly tried to leave.
The foreign man's bodyguard blocked Megan's path immediately.
"My dear wife, why do you flee upon seeing me? We haven't met in so long."
The foreign man approached Megan.
"Did you enjoy the last gift I gave you? I never thought you'd survive after both your kidneys were damaged."
Megan turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with fear, her body trembling. Trapped by bodyguards, she had no escape.
Just then, Evan came out and saw Megan confronting the foreign man.
"Evan, save me!" Megan's eyes brightened with hope upon seeing Evan, her pale face gaining some color.
Evan approached with an air of cold indifference, his voice chill, "You should go back with your husband."
Megan's eyes widened in shock, her face slowly filling with despair.
"No... Evan, save me, save me. I'll die if he takes me away..."
Evan watched indifferently as the desperate Megan was led away by the foreign man.
"If her husband hadn't brought so much irrefutable evidence, I would never have known Megan could be so vicious. I always thought it was Avery bullying her, but it turns out..."
Liam stopped mid-sentence, realizing his blunder, and looked at Evan with worry.
