Silas clearly saw the cut that the shard of glass caused was slightly over half an inch. Blood started seeping through
the edges of the glass and dripping downward.
Soon, Jacqueline's hand was stained red with fresh warm blood.
The deep cut resulted in severe blood loss, and Jacqueline collapsed onto the bed. When she loosened her grip on
the broken glasses in her palm, the piece she stuck into her neck stood upright.
She lay still as she stared vacuously at the ceiling with her widened eyes.
Her eyes grew dim, and life was fading from the windows to her soul.
Shane and Silas were utterly stunned as everything happened in the blink of an eye.
By the time they came to their senses, Jacqueline had stuck a shard of glass into her neck.
Silas covered his mouth in disbelief. “Mr. Shane, she...”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShane, too, fell silent. His eyes twitched as he walked toward the bed.
He then leaned forward to check on Jacqueline.
Blood kept streaming down the woman's neck.
At that point, Shane could feel Jacqueline was about to breathe her last.
Although Jacqueline had begun to lose her consciousness, she could still feel Shane standing next to her.
She could barely move. But even if she could, she would have refused to. She stared at the ceiling listlessly and
opened her mouth. “Shane... seeing that I'm about to die, can you please do me a favor?”
Shane's lips twitched. His words were poised to tumble out, but nothing came out of his mouth.
Jacqueline's eyes started drooping, but she tried to stay awake by blinking repeatedly. Yet, as time passed by, her
eyes narrowed into slits.
Her vision started deteriorating. So was her hearing.
She had no idea if Shane had spoken, but she assumed he did.
Jacqueline gave a bitter laugh and breathed as hard as possible. “T-Tell Jackie I'm sorry. I... I finally know who's the
love of my life now...”
At that moment, she finally understood the complicated feelings she had for Jackson when she met him two days
ago.
She also knew why she felt lost and crestfallen when Jackson told her he was not in love with her and bade her
farewell.
It was because she loved him.
The man she loved was not Shane but Jackson.
Jacqueline did not know when she had developed an interest in Jackson, but at this point, she knew she had fallen
for him. She also recalled how she had hurt his feelings in the past.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe regretted her actions.
If only I had come to this realization earlier. Things would have ended differently had I figured out my feelings for
him, wouldn't they?
No. Nothing's gonna change anyway. I killed Shane's parents when I was at the age of ten. Even if I realize I'm in
love with Jackson, Shane wouldn't have let me off either.
Jacqueline flashed a wry smile as if she was mocking her own fate. “I'm so tired...”
Instead of fighting to stay awake, she decided to shut her eyes.
Her vision soon plunged into total darkness.
Jacqueline's eyelashes fluttered weakly, and her head grew heavier.
Her breathing gradually stopped, and her chest no longer heaved.
Silas glanced at Shane before walking up to Jacqueline and placing a finger beneath her nose. Seconds later, he
drew his finger back and exclaimed in shock, “Mr. Shane, I-I think she's dead!”
He gaped and did not know what else to say.
Shane's eyes flickered slightly. He responded with a deep grunt and replied, “Got it.”
