The elders in the village all said that Andriana was, after all, just a girl. Whether she went to school did not really matter. His wife’s illness could not be delayed. It had to be treated.
Mason hesitated.
Despite her grave condition, his wife dragged her failing body to the fields to find him while he worked.
She said, “Mason, let’s just… not treat my illness p>
Mason froze.
She said it again. “Andrea only has this one chance. If she misses it, the next several decades of her life will be ruined. Someone
has to suffer, but it cannot be the child p>
That day, in the fields, Mason held his wife and wept until his heart felt torn apart.
It was the last time he ever cried. Less than a month later, his wife could not hold on any longer and passed away. After her death, Mason shed no more tears. He handled her funeral in silence, without a single word.
In the days that followed, he grew quieter and more relentless in his work.
From that day on, a rift formed between him and his daughter. They spoke less and less.
Three years of high school passed in the blink of an eye. Andriana excelled and gained admission to Skyline University with outstanding grades.
From that point forward, Mason cut off contact with her. He knew Andriana resented him. He also knew that his taciturn nature left him unable to explain himself.
Days and nights slipped by as he missed his wife and missed his daughter. Many nights, he lay in bed and stared blankly at the bottle of pesticide in his hand.
He wanted to go and find his wife. But Andriana was still in school and not yet an adult, so he could not put his mind at ease.
In the end, Mason made a decision. He sent all his farming income to Andriana. When time allowed, he collected scrap. Once he saved enough for a round–trip fare, he set off for Skyline University.
From a distant corner, he quietly watched his daughter. He saw her bright smile. He saw her standing on stage and delivering a passionate speech. He also saw her holding the hand of a tall young man.
Happiness rose from the depths of Mason’s heart. He grinned, every wrinkle on his face folding together.
As he smiled, tears began to fall, streaming down his cheeks.
He did not dare step forward to acknowledge her. After watching her and finishing the toast in his hand, he slipped away alone
once more.
Without anyone noticing, four years of college passed.
Andriana was brilliant. She went on to graduate school and earned her degree.
At last, Mason felt completely at ease.
Lying on his bed, he murmured, “My daughter has grown up. She’s made something of herself. She fulfilled her childhood dream and became a scientist. I should go see you now p>
After saying this, he drank the pesticide at home and left the world alone.
But after leaving, he woke up again. He did not understand why.

Not long after, Andriana, who had been away from home for six years, pushed open that familiar door and found the house choked with weeds.
She learned of her father’s death and collapsed in tears at his grave.
Through sobs, she told him that she would be getting married in half a month. She asked why he could not have waited just a little longer.
Mason finally understood why he had woken up again. He still had not seen his daughter get married.
Andriana drove away, and he did not follow her. He could only find his own way, traveling again and again until he reached Skyline City.
Today was his daughter’s wedding.
After listening, Dominic fell silent.
Ahead stood the Grand Skyline Hotel, but he did not stop the car. He checked the time and said, “There’s still an hour. Today’s your girl’s big day. Let’s go change into some decent clothes p>
Mason stared at him, stunned. “What are we changing clothes for p>
“To attend the wedding!” Dominic claimed.
