“Dr. Lee, I’ve decided to participate in the cryogenic experiment. Please sign me up,” Gemma Kirk said calmly.
On the other end of the line, her professor, Taylor Lee, sounded hesitant. “Gemma, have you really thought this through? I know
the cancer diagnosis has been devastating for you, but there’s still hope for treatment-”
“But it’s late–stage lymphoma. It’s untreatable,” Gemma interrupted.
Taylor sighed deeply. “But cryogenic technology isn’t fully developed yet. They’ve never experimented on a living person before.
There’s a high chance you’ll lose your life the moment they freeze you! Please think it over…”
Gemma smiled faintly. “Dr. Lee, I’ve already made up my mind.”
With that, she hung up.
A headline notification had appeared on her phone screen just minutes earlier.
The photo showed Evangeline Morris and Murphy Townsend holding hands, and there was a sparkling blue diamond ring on
Evangeline’s ring finger.
Even through the screen, the blue diamond radiated a brilliance that stung Gemma’s eyes. She bit her lip hard, but tears still
streamed down her face.
Today was his birthday, yet the man she loved the most had given the ring she designed to someone else.
Did it have to be this way? Did he hate her that much?
The steaming dishes on the table grew colder by the minute. As she sat by the dining table, Gemma felt her heart grow as cold as
the room.
At 2:30 am, the tightly shut door finally creaked open. Murphy entered, bringing with him the chill of the night.
“Why are you still awake?” Murphy’s expression grew even colder when he saw her. “Didn’t I tell you I’d be with Eva tonight and
I’d be back late?”
Gemma lowered her head, staying silent for a long time before quietly saying, “Happy birthday…”
It was late now, even past midnight. So technically, his birthday was already over.
“Gemma, what’s the point of doing this?” Murphy said impatiently. “Eva is my girlfriend. It’s only natural for her to celebrate my
birthday with me. Who do you think you are? I’m your uncle! Can’t you recognize your place? Whatever improper thoughts you

have about me, they disgust me!”
With that, he slammed the door as he left.
He was probably going back to Evangeline. After all, he just said she was his girlfriend.
