Grace had been in a foreign country for three months.
During this period, she always tightly pulled the curtains, staying alone in the room, lost in thought for the whole day.
She knew that her low mood was because of Antonio.
Although it has been removed from his own life, the past is still deeply ingrained in his memory, to the point that it has become a habit for him.
Sybil invited her to go out for a meal, and if she found a dish she liked, she would turn to the empty side and say, “Honey, this is delicious. When we get home, I’ll have you recreate it.”
Both Sybil and I were startled.
At night, when she went to sleep, she would habitually reach out to embrace the person next to her, but all she could feel was a void. In these moments, she would suffer from
insomnia.
When she woke up in the morning and got dressed, she also felt uncomfortable – Antonio used to take care of her clothes, and each piece of clothing had the scent of his carefully chosen perfume. Now, the clothes returned from the dry cleaner had no scent at all.
In the past few years, Antonio had gently permeated into every aspect of her life, they were like two different colored threads, woven together to become a tightly intertwined piece of fabric.

She needed some time to readjust to a life alone.
I also completely removed Antonio from my life.
Three months later, Grace had already adapted to her new life. She could take care of herself very well and rarely thought about Antonio anymore.
Grace obtained a dual degree in Software Engineering and Artificial Intelligence from Grace University. She loved programming because in this binary world composed of 1s and Os, everything was certain. By mastering the rules, she could create more uncertainties with certainty.
She liked the solid feeling that could be held.
After graduation, she had been working in this field, accumulating a considerable amount of experience. Therefore, recently, she has been trying to develop her own technology brand.
Approximately three months later, the product development was completed. She searched for various factories and self- funded the production of a batch. After all the procedures were approved, the product was launched into the market.
Grace originally just wanted to give it a try, but she didn’t expect the response to be unexpectedly good.
Not only did it attract a large number of consumers, but it also drew a group of investors who wanted to collaborate with her.
Grace didn’t want to personally get involved because she was afraid of being recognized by others and causing unnecessary trouble. Instead, she entrusted all the matters to Sybil.

Sybil chose the most generous and powerful company among
many.
After reaching an agreement online, they proceeded to sign the contract offline. However, coincidentally, their company’s president was recently in this small town, so Sybil didn’t have to run around and could just go directly to the president to sign the contract.
When the agreed time came, Sybil walked into the agreed place.
The moment Lincoln saw Sybil, he was stunned. If he
remembered correctly, the girl in front of him was called Sybil, and she was Grace’s best friend.
According to Antonio’s investigation, the crashed plane was remotely controlled by a person, and Sybil was an expert in
this.
That means Grace was not in danger, the one that fell was just an unmanned aircraft.
And Grace had only spoken to Sybil twice before the incident.
So, it is highly likely that Sybil helped Grace hide. Therefore, her presence here now, does it mean that Grace is also here?
