Reborn Before My Captain Fiancé’s Beloved Dies In A Plane Crash Chapter 17
After that day, Archer returned to the United States.
I stayed in Europe, following the rehabilitation plan my family doctor arranged.”
“Slowly, I learned to walk with more ease. Eventually, I could even dance a little again.
During that time, I shut out all news from the outside world.
It wasn’t until Mr. Bellini’s birthday that I flew back.
When Mr. and Mrs. Bellini met me at the airport, their hair had gone completely white.
I was surprised.
They were silent the entire drive.
Only after I had visited my parents’ graves and my child’s, as we stood outside the cemetery, did they finally speak.
“Archer… was diagnosed with schizophrenia and manic episodes.”
“He’s been committed for long-term treatment.”
I froze.
The evening wind raised goosebumps on my arms.
“Why?” I asked quietly.
Mr. Bellini was silent for a moment before answering in a low voice.
“After he came back from Europe, he was like a man without a soul.”
“All he did was sleep. Then he came down with a fever of 104 degrees.”
“When he finally woke up, the first thing he said was, ‘Dad, Mom, I think I killed Elara.'”
“We were terrified. We couldn’t reach you.”
“Luckily, an old friend of ours lived near you and went to check in person.”
“We could only breathe again once we knew you were safe.”
My heart lurched.
A wild, impossible thought took root in my mind.
