Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 406

[There are still so many places I haven't been to, so many delicious foods I haven't tasted, and so many friends I haven't made. I want to live, I want my life to be meaningful, and I want to spend the rest of my time doing the things I've always wanted to do but haven't yet started.

“Cornelia, it was you who pulled me back from the brink of death when I decided to leave this world. It was you who showed me hope again. You whispered in my ear that life only happens once, no do-overs. If you lose it, that's it, it's game over.

“I'm grateful you saved me, thankful that you've given me a chance to keep exploring the world. As for escaping from Zavier, I've been ready for him to find me. I know that as long as he wants to, he'll find me, it's just a matter of time.

“When I first ran away, I was terrified of being found by him, taken back, or facing those faces in the Rivera family that I didn't want to see. I was afraid of living a life without freedom, controlled by others.

“But after chatting with you last night, I've realized that true freedom doesn't come from where you live, but from within. What sets me free is not the place, but my heart. I used to be miserable because I cared too much about too many people and things. I was too concerned about how others perceived me. I was afraid to hear those harsh words, felt like everyone was giving me the side-eye. I always thought people were gossiping behind my back. When I stopped caring about all that and no longer hurt by those harsh words, I suddenly realized the huge rock pressing on my heart was gone and I could see a brighter future.

“Cornelia, life is beautiful! Being able to not give a damn about what others think, living your life freely. It's just wonderful! I hope you, like me, can live freely.”

Skyler's words deeply touched Cornelia, because they shared similar experiences. With teary eyes, Cornelia replied to Skyler: [Yes, live well and anything is possible. Don't care about what others think. As long as you're comfortable, that's what matters.]
