Chapter 1336
Isn't this ironic? An angel watches a demon's birth. Not only did the angel save others because of the demon, he even fell in love with her.
Even though Jackson heard Shane describe Jacqueline as a demon, he barely reacted at all, for it was an undeniable fact. Jacqueline was truly a demon.
In truth, if he knew that she would turn out to be like that, he wouldn't have fallen in love with her.
However, it was too late for regrets now.
“That's right. Jacqueline is undoubtedly a demon. I watched it brought into the world back then. And now, I've watched her die. I guess this is just karma at work.” At the sight of Jacqueline being incinerated beyond recognition, he broke into a smile of relief.
When Shane saw that Jackson had finally gotten over Jacqueline, he revealed, “There's something that I have never told you about.”
“What is it?” Jackson tilted his head at Shane curiously.
Shane, too, stared at the furnace. “Actually, before Jacqueline died, she left a farewell message.”
“What?” Jackson was startled. “A farewell message?”
“Yup, for you.” Shane looked at him.
As Jackson's eyes trembled and mouth gaped, it took him a while before he responded, “F-For me?”
“Mmm-hmm.” Shane nodded.
Filled with disbelief, a stupefied look descended upon Jackson's face.
Jacqueline's last words were for me? How is that possible? She doesn't love me and has no feelings for me at all. All this while, I was nothing but a pawn to her. Thus, there's no way she would leave a message for me. In fact, I don't think I would even cross her mind.
Nonetheless, when he saw the serious look on Shane's face, it was evident that Jacqueline did leave him one.
“Wh-What did she say?” Jackson asked anxiously as he felt a slight tremor in his clenched fists.
Shane looked him in the eye. “She said that she was sorry and that she now knew who she loved.”
“Sorry and knew who she loved?” Jackson's eyes widened. “Wh-What did she mean?”
“She meant exactly what you're thinking,” Shane answered.
While his heart was thumping furiously, Jackson opened his mouth but words failed to come out.
What I think it means... Why did she need to tell me that after apologizing? Obviously, she's telling me that she loves me! Or else, she would have just stopped at the apology. However, by continuing her words, she meant to declare her feelings for me!
As the truth behind Jacqueline's words dawned upon him, Jackson trembled in response. A long while passed before he murmured, “Jacqueline... She... loved me.” NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Mmm-hmm. She had fallen for you a long time ago. She just didn't know it then,” Shane commented with his hands stuffed in his pockets.
Lowering his gaze, Jackson felt a burning sensation in his eye. “Is that so?”
She loved me but didn't realize it. I loved her and didn't know her feelings for me. Isn't this a cruel joke? Despite loving each other, neither of us was aware of the fact. What else can be more perplexing than that? If I had known about it earlier, I would have advised her to turn over a new leaf.
Unfortunately, there was just no going back.
Even if he had known about it earlier, Jacqueline would still meet an equally disastrous end, for she had caused the death of Shane's parents when she was ten.
At ten, neither of them had reached puberty. Back then, he hadn't developed feelings for her, and she would naturally not have any for him. Therefore, even if they subsequently fell in love and got together, she would still meet her end the same way.
As of then, he could only carry the knowledge of Jacqueline's love for him and wallow in sorrow for the rest of his life.
