My Great Escape Led Me to You novel Chapter 396

It was as if they would never see each other again.

In that moment, Andrew Lane reverted to his impeccably professional, almost robotic self—utterly composed, his emotions sealed away. He glanced coolly at Emily Blair, his eyes revealing nothing, then turned away with practiced detachment.

He walked off, his gaze growing colder.

Knowing when to stop had always been his principle.

If Emily Blair had made her choice, he would respect it.

Emily watched Andrew’s retreating figure and finally, slowly, let out a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding.

There was no time to dwell on it. The security agent began urging her along. “Ma’am, please hurry—boarding is about to close.”

Emma George nodded quickly, grabbing Emily’s hand. “It’s over, Emily. Come on, let’s go.”

Emily pressed her lips together, nodded, and picked up her bag, stepping into the walkway.

Suddenly, she stopped in her tracks.

Elizabeth Wilson asked quietly, “Are you alright?”

“Did you forget something?” Emma chimed in, glancing at her.

Emily shook her head.

People in the terminal were starting to watch her. She quickly slipped her SIM card out of her phone.

Elizabeth caught the motion, her lips parting in understanding—she already knew what Emily intended to do.

With a decisive snap, Emily broke the SIM card in half and calmly tossed the pieces into a nearby trash bin.

Emma stared in surprise. “Emily, why did you throw your SIM card away?”

Emily didn’t pause. She started walking again, her voice cool. “It’s fine. I’ll get a new one when we arrive. I don’t need this one anymore.”

As the plane lifted off, it felt as if everything was abruptly suspended—love, hate, all the tangled history left behind, separated now by miles of sky and a blur of taxis and flights. It was a real, final goodbye; old wounds faded into invisible scars, numb and distant.
