“I want to thank you, but more than that, I want to tell you that I love you. In the past, I was afraid that I wasn’t worthy of you.
From now on, I can finally have the courage to say it out loud.”
I was overcome with happiness, and I did not doubt Jasper’s love for me at all.
After that, Dad was diagnosed with a terminal disease. At the same time, Jasper became the victim of a plot from a rival and ended
up embroiled in a finance case. A huge sum of money was involved, and he was imprisoned while awaiting trial.
Dad could not bear seeing me live like a widow when I was newly married, so he took all the blame on himself, even though it
hadn’t involved him much at all. In the end, he died of his illness while he was in jail!
How dare Jasper mention Dad in front of me when he was the one to blame? He had even mourned Nicole’s child on the day of
Dad’s death anniversary when Nicole’s child was not related to him at all! He had done it just to hurt me!
Jasper looked startled when I asked him about it. He suddenly seemed to remember something, and he looked very guilty.
Jasper had always been arrogant, but recently he seemed to have gotten used to humbling himself in front of me.
“Ari, I’m sorry. I really did forget Keith’s death anniversary that day. I’ll never be absent from now on. Trust me!”
My lip curled. “I don’t need you. You just bring bad fortune!”
The day that I was discharged from the hospital, Jasper made a big deal out of it. He covered the hospital corridors with a carpet
of fresh flowers and pushed me out in a wheelchair himself. Everyone looked enviously at me, but all I felt was revulsion.
Jasper smiled brightly at me. “Ari, I’ve asked the doctor. You’ve still got to recuperate, so I’ve booked a sanatorium for you. It’s
the one you chose last time.”
Without letting me refuse, Jasper continued. “Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for Nicole to go somewhere else. She won’t
bother you, and the baby needs you.”
For the sake of the baby, I got into his car once more.
The interior of the car was still bright pink. The ornament with the photos of Jasper and Nicole started revolving, and the sound of Nicole singing started up once more.
