Chapter 2

She was extremely provocative in our chat conversation.

"I'm sorry, Samantha. Please allow me to be a little selfish. I'm going to die soon. All I want is to have a brief moment of happiness before I die."

She posted a picture of her holding hands with a man on her social media, with the caption, [You are always there whenever I turn around.]

There was a mark on the man's ring finger where his ring would have been.

Three days later, they held a small wedding in a church in the suburbs.

I rushed to the venue and questioned them angrily. However, Dustin slapped me hard.

He looked at me with disappointment. "Samantha, Celine is about to die. Can't you just be kind to her?

"I just want to fulfill her last wish. We are only having a wedding; we are not really getting married. Do you think you would have the chance to marry me if it weren't for her leaving?

"You are nothing compared to Celine."

His disgusted and insulting tone made my heart ache.

He had completely forgotten that if it were not for my family, he might be picking up trash somewhere now. My family's help in the past became an obstacle to his love with Celine in his point of view.

I stood outside the church feeling numb and humiliated as I watched my husband marry another person. I was so foolish at that time that I actually reflected on myself. Was I too stingy and acting too calculative?

After my soul left my body and was floating in the air, I finally realized everything was just because he had never loved me.

I finally left the hot lava, with my soul was the only thing left. After Dustin and Celine escaped the active volcano, the other teammates came forward immediately.

"You finally came out! We thought something bad really happened!"

"Thank you everyone for your concern. We are fine," Celine looked down and spoke softly. Her weak face turned pale. It instantly made everyone want to protect her.

My best friend, Vicky, was the only one who immediately noticed that I was not there. She pulled Dustin on his collar and asked, "Where is Samantha?

"Only you two pieces of trash have escaped? Where is Samantha?"

Celine looked weak, "How can you say that to me?"

Dustin answered impatiently, "Watch your words! Samantha must have slandered Celine behind her back, right? What can happen to her? She possesses the best survival skills in the wild. She was the one who saved me when I fell into the swamp."

Vicky was so angry that her eyes turned red. "How dare you say that? She saved your life, but you abandoned her?"

Vicky turned around and was about to rush toward the volcano. The others grabbed her immediately. "It's very dangerous in there now..."

Vicky did not care much. She rushed toward the volcano immediately.

Dustin hesitated, "I'll go with you..."

However, before he could finish his words, Celine, who was perfectly fine a moment before, suddenly turned weak and fell backward. Everyone rushed to Celine in an instant. Dustin even held her in his arms.

Before Celine closed her eyes, she grabbed Dustin's arm and said weakly, "Dustin, don't worry, Samantha will be fine. When we were escaping, I saw that she had already climbed out of the lake. Perhaps she had left from another exit..."

Dustin breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly picked up Celine and ran toward his car.
