Chapter 1686

Upon hearing her words, Felipe gave a slight and gentle smile. “In the next life, Cath. I’ll see you in the next life.”

His tone, light and shallow, blew past Cathy’s ears like a gust of wind, falling instead into her heart, leaving an extremely profound imprint.

Cathy’s tears broke out from her eyes against her will.

The next life, he said.

It turned out that they were truly not destined to be together in this life.

Felipe quickly got into the police car. The moment the car started, he looked at her through the car window, and tears welled up in his eyes.

‘Cath, I’ll only be able to see you again in the next life.

‘In my next life, I’ll be a respectable and law-abiding person. Never again will I cross the line and stoop to anything unscrupulous.

‘Cath, thank you for coming into my life. Thank you, and goodbye.’

He thought to himself before shifting his gaze away.

As the police car promptly drove away, Cathy remained rooted to the ground, not knowing what it means to feel relieved…

Half an hour later, Madeline and Jeremy arrived at the beach of April Hill.

Madeline immediately saw Cathy standing in a daze by the coast, while Felipe was nowhere to be seen on the beach.

Jeremy too was a little bewildered. They were promised an hour, and the time was not up yet, so why had Felipe left?

When Cathy heard movement behind her, she glanced back. She forced a smile upon seeing Madeline and Jeremy.

“He had already left. He told me that he’ll see me in the next life.” The smile remained plastered on her face. “I think he has already made up his mind.”

“How could it turn out like this?” Jeremy said in disbelief.

He had thought Cathy to be the last ray of light that could pull Felipe out from the darkness.

However, Felipe’s final decision remained unchanged.

“Linnie, stay here with Cathy. I’m going to talk to Felipe.” Jeremy hurriedly said and drove away immediately.

Seeing Cathy’s sorrowful face, Madeline felt sorry for the woman with all her heart.

“Cathy, deep down, you still can’t let go of Felipe, can you?”

Cathy tugged the corners of her lips, feeling dejected. “It’s truly easy to fall in love, but it turns out that letting go is very difficult. So difficult…”

She sighed. As she looked at the endless sea, the light in her eyes gradually faded…

Jeremy rushed to the prison that held Felipe as quickly as possible. Soon after, Felipe arrived.

Instead of being bound in handcuffs, he was impeccably dressed. He also seemed to be accepting of his impending death, visible from his tranquil manner.

However, Jeremy was infuriated seeing him act this way. “Felipe, have you thought this through? Do you honestly want to choose this path? Do you know that you could appeal? Even if you had committed those crimes, you also have the opportunity and the right to give yourself a chance to fight for a heavy sentence. This is a right granted by the law!”

“Jeremy, I know you only want what’s best for me, but I’ve already made my decision. I hope you can respect it,” Felipe said lightly.

“Respect? In that case, are you showing respect for Cathy? Are you showing respect for your two children? No, you aren’t, Felipe. You’re only thinking about atoning for your sins, but do you think that your passing on is a means of atonement? I’m telling you, it’s not!

“Felipe, I’m asking you again. Do you truly want to give up on this opportunity?”
