When he saw Jackson's silent tears, Shane narrowed his gaze. “I thought that you would be more emotional after learning that she loved you.”

In fact, he even considered the possibility of Jackson wanting to kill himself again just to be with Jacqueline.

As a consequence, he was surprised by Jackson's calm reaction. Instead of yelling hysterically, his only response was tearing quietly.

Upon hearing Shane's words, Jackson took a deep breath and replied indifferently, “As I said before, I have gotten over her. Therefore, its emotional impact on me is rather low. In spite of that, I am sad to learn that she did love me. However, when I realized that her feelings for me would change nothing, I quickly calmed down. After all, she would not come back to life just because I learned of the fact. Anyway, we're just not fated to be together. Now that our relationship has ended, it's for the best.”

Just as he spoke, Jackson cracked a slight grin as he continued to watch the burning furnace.

All this while, he loved Jacqueline and sacrificed a lot for her.

Therefore, it was enough for him to know that she too, loved him.

Going forward, he wasn't going to love another person or get married. Just like that, he was going to live the rest of his life alone with the memory of Jacqueline's love.


Having read Jackson's mind, Shane pursed his lips. Just when he was about to say something, he finally decided against it. Instead, he stood quietly by Jackson's side and watch Jacqueline turn into ash gradually.
