Cordy leaned against John’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

However, she could not fall asleep at all.

Even though she was very weak and sleepy now, she could not doze off.

When she closed her eyes, all she saw was a bloody scene.

It was all about the scene where Richard was in Jessica’s hand. He was so young and helpless.

“John,” Cordy spoke up.

She wanted to break the silence.

She would be lost in wild thoughts if it was quiet and think about a lot of bad things.

“Hmm.”

“Do you hate me?” Cordy suddenly questioned him.

John was stunned briefly before he slowly shook his head. “No, I’ve never hated you.”

“Don’t you ever blame me because I pushed you away again and again?”

“No, I don’t,” John answered firmly. “All I thought about was how to pull you back to me every time you pushed me away. I didn’t have the time to hate you.”

Bitterness overwhelmed her nose.

How could he be so loyal?

“Cordy, have I never told you why I love you so much?” John lowered his head to look at her pale face.

“Yes, you did…” Cordy became quite helpless.

It was her first time. Of course, she was inexperienced in this kind of stuff.

“It’s more than that. It’s because I fell in love with you at first sight when we were young.” John admitted to it.

“Did we know each other when we were young?”

Although they were in the same city and circle, the Levine family enjoyed a much higher status than the Sachs family. It was very hard for them to have fun together. Besides, John grew up abroad.

“Hmm. It was at your mother’s funeral,” John explained.

Consequently, Cordy suffered excruciating pain.

She suddenly found that it had been a very long time since she last recalled her mother and that she almost forgot what her mother looked like.

But she did not want to forget about her mother at all…

“I attended the funeral with my grandpa and parents,” John elaborated.” Your body was so small at that time. You kneeled in the hall without making a fuss. You were so quiet as if you didn’t exist in this world. For the first time, a kind of compassion swept over me. I even felt like taking you home.” novelbin

Cordy was struck speechless.

“But I didn’t realize I liked you back then. I just felt that you were very pitiful at that time. You were so lonely as if you were broken on the inside.”

She was in a state of despair at that time.

She did not understand why her mother, who loved her so much, would suddenly leave her forever.

She also could not understand why people would die.

She knew that she had lost her mother forever.

“After that, I would hear Bob and Sam talk about you every time I came back from abroad. My heart would be moved inexplicably every time they brought you up. Then, I would recall how you looked when you kneeled there that day. I couldn’t get rid of the scene, and I even did a strange thing and asked my grandpa to change my name. My name used to be Jack.”

“Yes, I know,” Cordy chimed in. ‘Zoe told me about it.”

“Yes, I changed my name later on because I accidentally saw a statement in a book. I’d fallen in love with you at first sight, and I was graced by your presence. So, I changed my name. Only then did I realize that I might have fallen in love with you.”

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Cordy asked.

“I was only twelve and you were nine. Who would believe me?” “What about later on?”
