“Alright.” Once Larry hung up the call, he walked out of his office.

He wasn’t in the condition to leave the ward, and it was obvious that Jessica didn’t want Caspian anywhere near her.

Larry’s assistant asked when he was about to leave, “Mr. Norton, where are you going? Are we still conducting the meeting?”

Larry replied, “Yes, I’ll be back soon.”

Meanwhile, Jessica stared into the distance, sitting on the beach by herself.

Why? God, why did you take them away from me? Her eyes started brimming with tears then.

She couldn’t believe she lost both her parents when they were about to have the best time of their lives together.

Back in the day, she was transferred to different schools because of her arrogant attitude. In the end, she was sent abroad. Nonetheless, they had been keeping in touch through phone calls until the night the accident occurred.

On that particular night, she tried to reach her parents through phone calls, yet no one picked up. About an hour later, she received the devastating phone call from the hospital.

They’re really gone.

Overwhelmed with sorrow, Jessica wrapped her arms around herself for solace. Her phone had been buzzing for some time, yet she couldn’t hear it at all.

Out of nowhere, a woman showed up and said, “Miss, I believe you have an incoming call.”

When she returned to her senses, it was already evening. The tide had risen above the horizon, yet she did not feel like going home at all. She wished to stay away from the place that reminded her of her grief. After all, she would be alone from then onwards.

After she picked up the call, the haggard woman asked in a barely audible voice, “Hello?”

“Where are you?”

“I’m at the beach.”

Once the person on the other end hung up the call, she let out a wry smirk. Ultimately, people only care about themselves.

All along, she had been lying to herself that her parents were still on an overseas trip and refused to make their way back because they were having a great time. She held onto the belief that they would definitely return to her once the trip was over. However, Caspian’s words earlier on pulled her back to reality.

In the end, she was forced to brace herself through the fact her parents had passed on.

“Jessica!”

Right then, Larry dashed toward her and looked at her in confusion while panting for breath.

Is she trying to commit suicide?

After she brought herself up, she asked, “Why are you here?”

“Caspian said he was worried about you because you were nowhere to be seen.” Larry avoided the topic of her parents’ death.

Weeping, she asked, “Larry, you’re aware that my parents aren’t around anymore, aren’t you? I’m all alone from now onwards.”

“What do you mean you’re alone? You still have your friends. Caspian and I will always be here for you.”

It will never be the same! No friend can replace family… She could show her true self and even throw tantrums in front of her parents, yet no friend of hers would tolerate her unreasonable behavior.

The dejected woman demanded, “You should get going and leave me alone.”

“Since Caspian isn’t around, allow me to keep you company.” He ended up sitting down by her side.

Then Larry comforted her in a soft voice, “Actually, you don’t have to put on a strong front in front of me. If you feel like crying, just let it all out.”

Unable to contain her emotions anymore, she wailed hysterically in between his arms.

He didn’t try to console her as he thought it might be better for her to release the emotions she had been holding back.

Nothing he said could possibly alleviate the grief she felt. In fact, some might never move on from a traumatizing incident like that, especially when the ones they held dear were involved.

Caspian and Larry understood what Jessica was going through, yet they couldn’t be of much aid because it was something she had to deal with on her own.

While they were within one another’s embrace, a mysterious figure hiding in the dark had his eyes glued to them.

He started taking intimate photos of the duo.

After crying to her heart’s content, Jessica dozed off in Larry’s arms due to emotional exhaustion.
