âDo you think Valda only wanted to save the child? What she really wanted to save wasâ¦â
Before Jason could finish his sentence, Grace interrupted him with a scolding, âJason, donât say anymore!â
Jason paused and looked at his wife.
Grace pleaded with him, âJason, please stop. Itâs our fault, everything is our fault! Valda disappeared because of us!â
Meanwhile, Jasmine in Graceâs arms was crying loudly, frightened by the situation.
Grace quickly comforted her daughter, âJasmine, donât cry. Uncle Brian didnât mean to scare you just now!â
Jason looked at Brian and said, âI wonât let you lay a finger on Jasmine. If you really want to harm Valda, you can come after me instead.â
âFill my destiny?â Brian suddenly laughed, but with that mournful laughter, two lines of clear tears flowed from his reddened phoenix eyes.
Actually, he is the one who deserves to be sentenced to death!
âIn fact, Iâm the one who should die, itâs all my fault! Iâm the one who let Valda down! Itâs me who deserves to die!â Brian shouted, feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
These days, the pain seems to have already enveloped him, even to the point where itâs so intense that he feels numb.
However, there was never a âmost painfulâ before, only âmore painfulâ!
He thought he was so numb from the pain that he couldnât feel it anymore.
But now⦠he feels the pain again.
Ouch! The pain was so intense that he clenched his fists and repeatedly pounded his chest, saying âItâs me, itâs all my faultâ¦â
âBrian, donât do this!â Grace handed the child to Jason, took a quick step forward, and grabbed Brianâs hand. âDonât do this. If Valda finds out youâre acting like this for her, sheâll be hurt and upset.â
âFeeling sad?â Brian murmured, âBut do you know? Iâve made her feel sad too many times. Whyâ¦why was I so foolish before? Why didnât I treat her better when she was by my side? Why did I always make her feel sad?â
Brian keeps blaming himself.
âI knew exactly what she wanted to hear from me, didnât I? I knew she had been waiting for me to fall in love with her! She was so eager, but I didnât say anything! I had already fallen in love with her a long time ago, but I foolishly thought I hadnât! Hahaha⦠Is there anyone in the world more foolish than me?
Why, why did she have to fall in love with a fool like me!â
Brian was crying in pain, his body trembling and curled up like a desperate beast. It seemed that for him, the remaining time was just waiting for death.
Grace couldnât stop crying. In front of her was Brian, and she didnât even know what she could say to help him pull himself together.
Maybe⦠only Valda can do it!
Grace looked at Jason beside her, but he just shook his head slightly, his eyes telling her that nothing needed to be said right now.
Becauseâ¦saying anything now is useless!
