Chapter 343
At this moment, Jared seemed to have returned to the principal’s office six years ago. At that time, he was crippled and criticized by countless people. Even if he knelt on the ground and prayed, the school still made him drop out.
He recalled the humiliation at this moment. Everyone around him was pointing at him and criticizing
him.
Those ridicules, accusations, and curses, after a long time, poured into Jared’s ears again.
Jared’s fingertip sank into his palm, and there was a sharp pain. Sarita came to help him in a panic. “Jared… Jared, are you okay?”
Jared pursed his lips and did not speak. He stood up with Sarita’s support and saw Anaya’s
indifferent face.
It seemed that from six years ago, Anaya became more and more silent and cold. Her pride and vitality, which used to belong to her, disappeared like quicksand. No matter how hard she held it, she was destined to lose it.
A few years ago, Jared would still think that it was worth it. But now, he only had one thought.
Whether it was worth it or not was no longer important. Even if Anaya would never love him, he would be entangled with this woman for a lifetime. He would not let go of her. He would rot and die
with her.
“Anaya.” Jared twitched the corner of his mouth. “Are you just going to watch your friends humiliate me like this?”
Anaya frowned and said, “It’s you who wanted to hurt Crystal. I don’t think they are wrong.”
“Okay… okay.” Jared nodded and said softly, “Anaya, of course they are not wrong. It was me who
was wrong.”
Anaya felt that something was wrong-Jared was about to fall ill.
Although Jared would make a scene every time he got sick, he used to stay at home, but this time. he was outside, and there were still so many people in the restaurant!
“Did he take medicine these two days?” Anaya asked Sarita with a serious expression.
Sarita had a blank expression on her face. “Medicine? What medicine? I don’t know.”
Anaya was also stunned.
Jared didn’t tell his family?
“Jared.” Anaya tried to calm down and said, “I’ll go back with you. I’ll also apologize to your sister about this matter. I… I won’t do this again in the future. I’ll go back to find you after work and cook for you personally, okay?”
Jared tilted his head and looked at her. “Really?”
“It’s true.” Anaya said softly, “Come back with me, okay?”
“I’m not going back… You’re lying to me.” Jared was short of breath, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. “You’re lying to me… Do you think it’s shameful to stand with me outside? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter… I won’t embarrass you…”
“Jared!” Anaya suddenly realized something and raised her voice, but her movement was not fast enough. Jared took out a fruit knife from his pocket. The knife popped out, and the bright blade was aimed at his neck. “It’ll be better if I am dead… If I am dead, you will be free!”
This turn of events, much less the onlookers, even Sarita was shocked. As she looked at this strange little brother in front of her, her voice trembled. “Jared… Jared, what are you doing?! Put your knife down, quickly put it down!”
Jared didn’t listen to what others said at all. He just stared at Anaya and said, “In fact, you’ve wanted me to die for a long time, haven’t you? Only when I die can you be free, and then you can be with Alan… so Anaya…” He closed his eyes, and a tear rolled down from the corner of his eyes. “I will help you.”
