Maybe it was because I was sedated and my head was dizzy. I ran unsteadily but I didn’t care.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw a big van parked there.
There were seven or eight people standing by.
I recognized Daniell’s parents at a glance.
They saw me, too.
I walked up to them. Daniell’s mother came up and pushed me away.”Don’t follow my son! It’s all your fault! If it wasn’t for you, how could my son have died!”
“Auntie, forget it. Don’t be angry.”She was supported by someone nearby.
“Auntie, I’m wrong.”I looked at Daniell’s body in the van and begged her, “can I have a look at Daniell?”
“No way!”Daniell’s mother blocked the door and kept pushing me.”Can you return my son’s life?”
Daniell’s mother cried a lot.
She pushed me all the time and kept me at a distance from Daniell.
I knew that if his body was taken away, I would never see him again.
“Auntie, I…”
As I continued to plead with her, a woman came out behind the crowd.
Before I could respond, the woman slapped me hard!
I just felt my ears buzzing.
I looked up and saw Angie in front of me.
She looked at me with red eyes.”June, can you get out of here? You hurt Daniell but you didn’t repent. Now he’s dead, but you’re still here. What do you want to do?”
“I…”
I was beaten by her but I didn’t hate her. I even blamed myself deeply.
Yeah.
If it wasn’t for me, how could Daniell have come to York?
If he didn’t come, he wouldn’t go back.
He wouldn’t have an accident.
It was my fault.
I killed him.
“Go away. But please never forget that Daniell was killed by you!”
Angie raised her hand and closed the van door.
She helped Daniell’s mother into the car.
I stood still and looked at them.
I watched the van with Daniell getting further and further away from me.
When the car couldn’t be seen, I finally squatted on the ground. I looked down and said, “Daniell, I’m sorry.”
I was sorry.
I’d rather be dead.
The next day, I went back to York.
I asked for leave from the company.
I took the money and rented the room that Daniell had booked for me.
I lived in it.
I didn’t do anything but sit in bed. I looked at the door and waited for it to be knocked.
I expected the door to open and Daniell to come in.
However, every time I was disappointed.
It was always room service that knocked on the door.
I lived there for seven days.
On the seventh day, the door was knocked again.
I opened the door with joy. Daisy was standing at the door. She punched me when she saw me.”Enough!”
“…”
I looked at her and murmured, “how do you know I’m here?”
“It’s none of your business.”Daisy looked at me and said angrily, “what are you doing? Are you here waiting for yourself to travel through time and space?”
“I…”
What was I looking forward to?
Daniell was dead. He would never come back.
“Tell me what happened.”Daisy sat on the bed and looked at me.
I started talking to her about plagiarism in the semi-final to Daniell’s death.
After that, I murmured, “it’s all my fault. I have no ability, or I don’t need to ask him for help. He wouldn’t come to York and got on the highway. He would not have died…”
“Wake up! It was an accident!”
“It was not an accident. If it wasn’t for me, he wouldn’t have come to York.”I repeated firmly, “if he didn’t come to York, he wouldn’t get on the highway…”
Daisy sat on the bed and held me in her arms.”Daniell was willing to do these things. Even if he knew something would happen, he would definitely come back. This is his choice.”
“But…”
“For the person he loves, he will not regret it.”
Daisy’s words silenced me.
For the people he loved.
I knew he loved me. He sent me so many messages before he died.
He told me that he loved me.
But I didn’t deserve his love at all.
Daisy and I checked out and went home.
When I was at home, I got a call from Lucius. He told me that the rules for the final had been issued. We were going to get together and set out in three days. He asked me when I would return to the company.
“I’m sorry, President Lucius. I won’t take part in the final.”
I replied dully.
When I listened to Lucius, I thought about it. If Selena hadn’t copied me, these things wouldn’t have happened!
“What?”Lucius froze over the phone. He said calmly, “June, don’t be kidding. You have worked hard to prove that you didn’t plagiarize. Why don’t you take part in the final now?”
“President Lucius, the man who testified to me that day is dead. I caused his death.”
I held the phone and said dully.
When I mentioned it, tears fell down the corner of my eyes.
I felt very sad.
“Dead?”Lucius seemed to freeze over the phone.”It’s so sudden.”
“Yes, so I don’t want to participate.”
With that, I hung up.
Now I didn’t want to live.
Daisy heard me on the phone and came out and asked me, “what happened?”
“Nothing. I don’t want to go to the final.”I said quietly.
Daisy froze for a moment. She came up and patted me on the face.”Are you crazy? Daniell used his life to prove you didn’t plagiarize. He’s dead, but you’re not going to the final. Are you going to let him down?”
“I…”
I had been dizzy for so many days. Daisy’s words suddenly woke me up.
Yeah, Daniell proved my innocence with his life.
How could I not take part in the final?
I picked up my phone quickly. When I wanted to call Lucius, he had already called me back. I picked up the phone and said, “I’m sorry, President Lucius. I will take part in the final!”
Hearing me, Lucius sighed over the phone, “June, you scared me to death.”
“I will take part in the final.”
I repeated.
“OK. The notice of the final was sent to me. I’ll send it to your mailbox now.”
Lucius said that and then he hung up.
Less than a minute later, I got an email from Lucius about the final.
