Death Note: Departing in Torture, Lost Forever

I turned on the light and put on some light makeup.

Then, I found an outfit I liked and put it on.

Such a simple thing might only take ten or twenty minutes in the past, but it took me almost two hours today.

It was daybreak, and I looked at the pendulum clock on the wall, which slowly ticked toward eight o'clock.

I found out all the materials we would need, took them, struggled to stand up, and walked down.

As I went downstairs, Kurt was not there.

There was only my mom, and the maid had just made breakfast.

"Hey, it's rare to see you getting up so early."

I looked at her, whose face was still blurry. My eyesight, which had been damaged, could no longer recover.

"We agreed to get a divorce today."

"What? Divorce, Lara, are you crazy?"

Anna was hysterical and furious. In the past, we would have started a big quarrel, but I didn't have the energy to do it today. Also, I could never argue with her later.

"I made this decision after careful consideration."

Just then, Kurt came down from upstairs, heard what I said, and said softly, "Lara, I will not divorce you.

"You can be angry and scold me as you want, as long as we don't get divorced."

I turned to look at him and said calmly, "Believe it or not, I'm not angry. I just don't want to have Mills' wife written on my tombstone after I die. It would make me feel sick, and I would die with regrets.

"You're a stain in my life."

Kurt came closer, and the somewhat blurry face was finally no longer calm. He looked at me and gritted his teeth.

We confronted each other in silence.

Anna was about to hit me but stopped by him.

"Lara, do you think of me like this?"

I forced a smile, saying nonchalantly, "What else? Don't you think everyone in this world would be proud to have you in their lives?"

His face darkened, and I could feel that he was furious.

He bowed to my mother and apologized, "Anna, I'm sorry.

"I agree to Lara's request this time. Don't worry. Even if we get divorced, I will treat you as my mother, my biological mother."

He drove, and we went to get the divorce certificate.

At the entrance of the door, Kurt spoke to me, "Lara, it's your last chance. You can't regret it later."

"No regrets."

Having finished speaking, I walked into the courthouse.

We got the divorce certificate smoothly.

After that, we went home together. I asked the maid to help me pack some luggage and take it downstairs.

Anna was busy comforting Kurt.

I stopped and said to her at the door.

"Mom, if the call for help I made to Kurt half a month ago was true, would you still stop him from saving me?"
