Chapter 228 A Performance Without an Audience

Orion couldn't hear the sound of his heart breaking, but he could feel it-someone was tearing at his heart, trying to crush it, to rip it out of his chest and toss it away.

Justin stared at his pale face, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief. The alcohol coursing through Justin's veins brought a twisted sense of relief to the turmoil in his chest. Everyone kept telling him not to blame Orion; after all, he wasn't the one who crashed the plane.

Justin couldn't help it. If it weren't for Orion, Seraphina wouldn't have gotten on that plane.

If it weren't for Orion, Justin would still have his sister. She could have bought yachts, mansions, islands, etc. She could still be alive.

Justin stood up, his clothes whipping in the cold wind, his hair already disheveled.

He didn't care.

Justin threw the bottle in his hand, watching as it vanished into the void, swallowed by the sea below.

"Orion, just go. Whatever guilt you're carrying, it's too late now. Go back to your life."

Orion's brow furrowed deeply, and his voice was hoarse and strained.

"I can't leave. What if she's still alive?"

"Haha!" A bitter laugh escaped Justin's lips, followed by uncontrollable tears. His gaze turned icy, and he spoke each word with deliberate, cutting precision. "You don't know her at all, Orion. Seraphina ... she couldn't swim."

There was no "what if."

The vast, endless ocean had already swallowed everyone.

The silence between them was suffocating, filled with a cold and desperate despair.

Justin's words were the final blow, breaking the last thread holding Orion together.
