Chapter 1684
The blue sea and the salty sea breeze.That was the smell of April Hill all year round.Now, however, the sea breeze blew with a biting coldness.Crash.The waves rushed forth, repeatedly crashing against the reef and shore.On the empty beach, two figures stood face to face.Felipe had deliberately groomed himself today, restoring his former graceful gentleman image. He now looked at the person in front of him, unlike in the past, with tenderness and affection.The person in front of him no longer looked the way she did back then as well.Cathy's once tender and sweet little face was now adorned with a hint of mature charm unfamiliar to him. There was no longer the pure admiration for him in her eyes; it had been replaced with some level of calmness and composure that could only be gained through experience.Whoosh.Although the sea breeze felt like knives as it blew at them, Felipe did not feel the cold, for his heart was burning hot at this moment.He had not expected Jer

Felipe and Cathy locked eyes. After a long while, Cathy returned to her senses and broke free from Felipe's hand.“What on earth do you want to say?” Cathy asked, seemingly impatiently. “If you’re still not going to speak, I’ll leave, seriously.”Seeing the decisiveness in Cathy's eyes, Felipe dared not waste any more time.Carefully, he took out an object from his pocket, then stretched out his hand toward Cathy.Cathy looked down. The sight of the red string in Felipe's palm stupefied her.“I’m sorry. Forgive me for only realizing your importance after losing you. Forgive me for discovering you to be that little girl I have been thinking about for more than ten years only after realizing your importance.”When Cathy heard Felipe's words, her expression became slightly dazed for a moment, and a strange emotion flashed in her eyes.“What… did you say?” Her tone, losing the earlier calmness, now sounded somewhat shaky. “Didn’t you know the entire time? Didn’t you only decide to s

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 re

Jeremy had always thought that he was of a calm disposition, but now, he was on edge.Felipe was giving up on himself. As his nephew, Jeremy was extremely worried.Jeremy knew that if Felipe were willing, Felipe could certainly avoid the death penalty. However, he seemed to have accepted his fate.He had also thought that, after meeting with Cathy and learning that he had two children, Felipe would certainly aspire to continue living. On the contrary, the meeting only solidified his determination to walk resolutely towards death. “Felipe, have you thought about it, truly?” Jeremy sought his confirmation yet again. “You only live once. There’s no turning back.”After listening to Jeremy's earnest reminder, Felipe seemed to be lost in contemplation.A long while later, Felipe lifted his gentle and narrow eyes.“Jeremy, I need your help for the final time.”“Tell me.”“I hope Cathy will have a blissful and carefree life from now on.”“You can give her the bliss that she wants.”

Besides comforting Cathy, Madeline did not know what else she could do at this moment.Half an hour later, Jeremy drove back to the beach of April Hill.When she saw Jeremy, Cathy hurriedly approached to probe him with her questions.“Jez, did you meet with him?”Jeremy faced Cathy, who had an expectant look on her face, and gave a slight nod. “Yes.”“Well, what did he… What did you guys talk about?”Recalling Felipe's request before he left, Jeremy paused for a while before speaking.“He hopes that you could live a blissful life.”The terse statement felt like a cold sword stabbing through Cathy’s heart.The glint of expectancy in her eyes slowly crumbled until the wind blew away the remnants of her shattered hope, and the light in her eyes completely faded.Once they had sent Cathy back, Jeremy brought Madeline back to Adam's place.Adam was currently away at the hospital for consultation.Madeline could tell that something was up with Jeremy since his return from the mee

Shirley stared at the calendar for a few moments, then she suddenly turned and left with a cold expression.Madeline and Jeremy shared a look before shifting their gaze onto the calendar.That day?What day was Shirley referring to?A cemetery in the city outskirts.For nearly the entire afternoon, Adam had been sitting in front of a tombstone at which two individuals were laid to rest.He initially had to go to the hospital for consultations in the afternoon, but this day was too special.Adam sat alone on the edge of the railing in front of the tombstone. He quietly faced the tombstone and whispered with a smile.“It’s been another year. Time passes so quickly. I had wanted to come here earlier, but my friend suddenly became unwell, so that delayed me for a bit.” Adam explained to the tombstone. “You must be disappointed, aren’t you? It’s still just me this year. My sister, she…”“I’m here now, aren’t I?”A sudden voice interrupted Adam mid-sentence.He paused abruptly. He

Adam emphasized, then carefully explained.“Shirley, you always think that you’re so smart, but you’re extremely stupid when it comes to this! You keep thinking that our parents hadn’t cared about you and ignored you. Even when they’d sent you to St. Piaf to further your studies, you still think that they’d abandoned you. I’m telling you, Shirley, you’re just too conceited!”“Shut up!”Shirley stopped Adam, feeling slightly infuriated.“Who do you think you are to lecture me? I’m warning you, Adam. Stop meddling in my business with Eveline and Jeremy. If you dare antagonize me by helping them develop the anti-toxoid test reagent again, you‘d just be asking for trouble!”“Trouble? By trouble, do you mean Carter Gray? The man who has you at his beck and call, isn’t that right?”When Adam mentioned Carter, Shirley's expression changed abruptly.Adam felt even more pained upon seeing the change in Shirley's expression.“Are you in love with that man?” Adam asked in a much softer to

Shirley held the corner of the notepad, her fingers trembling slightly.Upon seeing the familiar handwriting, the cold wind seemed to dampen the corners of her eyes in an instant.It was unknown how much time had passed before Shirley stood up with a cold look on her face while biting her red lip and pinching the corner of the notebook.Her almond eyes were filled with tears as she stared indifferently at the engravings on the tombstone in front of her. After staying for about ten seconds, Shirley turned and left.A few days later, news quickly spread on the internet.The news was of Felipe’s death sentence.When Felipe's photos, education, background, and all the relevant information were dug out, many pitied him, but more were feeling pleased with this decision.Those who had committed a crime should not be sympathized and felt sorry for.Cathy also saw this push notification. The moment she saw the news, she seemed to have fallen into the ice cave. Her whole body was cold an
