“Jacqueline, you have to stop blaming yourself, it’s all in the past.” Cornel’s eyes were flooded with tears and he was equally blaming himself.
“Cornel …… I want to go to Iroh River to see okay?” Jacqueline wiped the tears from her eyes and climbed up from the tombstone.
Cornel looked at her a little unknown, Jacqueline choked, “Yolanda once said jokingly that, if ever die, scatter her ashes in the river, so that they will float to the sea ……”
Said she herself felt a little ridiculous, self-deprecating, “at first the very first said all the jokes, but now I did not expect it to become true ……”
Cornel patted her back, “You talk to her for a while longer, and when you’re done, I’ll take you there.”
Jacqueline nodded joyfully, she pulled out the necklace Cornel had given her that day from her arms, her fingertips slightly cold.
On the Iroh River Bridge, Jacqueline carefully opened the pendant containing the ashes, the wind brushed by and immediately blew the ashes away ……
The moment, Jacqueline’s tears flooded more ferocious, “I still can’t believe that she just left, even if more things happened, but she still has a great life, how can it be biased ……”
Words to the general, she said some can not go on, took a deep breath.
Cornel empathized with the reassuring, “It will pass.”
“It won’t pass……” Jacqueline shook her head, the original grieving eyes were written with despair at this time.
Cornel heart can’t help but stutter a little, some alert pull her hand, “What do you want to do! Jacqueline, don’t do anything stupid, just like you said, life is still long ……”
“I don’t have a life ……” Jacqueline shook off his hand and took a few steps away from him.
“Jacqueline!”
Cornel at this time is really panic, he brought people out, at this time Jacqueline but want to kill themselves, how he will explain!
Jacqueline held the handrail of the riverside, the action is gentle not like words, “Cornel …… in fact I hated, hated you for ignoring Yolanda’s death, but then I learned that I hate you useless, Yolanda became like this, also has nothing to do with you. ”
“Jacqueline, you stop it, we should go back!” Cornel’s face was expressionless as he watched her move as if he was worried she might jump at any moment.
Jacqueline smiled to herself, “Go back where? To the guardhouse?”
That place, how could she possibly go back to …… is full of rats, and men who make trouble at night, she is there, like a person who has lost her soul, living like a human being and a ghost!
“Right .” Cornel nodded, trying desperately not to irritate her, “We should go back to the guardhouse, didn’t we say yes?”
“I’m not going back! I can’t go back either.” Jacqueline covered her head with a look of trepidation.
The thought of that place made her feel like she was being tortured.
“Cornel, I go back is also a death sentence, either life imprisonment, why should I go back? Yolanda is dead, I have nothing long ago ……”
As she spoke, the person had already climbed to the bridge frame.
Cornel looked horrified, “Jacqueline, calm down! Didn’t you say so? There’s still a great life ahead of you, and you’re just going to walk away, won’t you feel sorry for yourself?”
“What’s the pity?” She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, “My life is already ruined, ruined completely, so there’s nothing to be sorry about!”
She looked at the river tumbling, at this time the heart is surprisingly unusual calm, so no ripples.
“Cornel, this life is what I owe you, and I’m sorry, so I’ll pay you back in the next life, now …… it’s time for me to go to Yolanda myself and ask for forgiveness ……”
“No!”
Cornel waved his hands, but felt as if his feet were filled with lead and could not move, he just shouted in place, “No, Jacqueline, will you come down?”
He was answered by Jacqueline’s kind smile.
In front of him, the woman dressed in black opened her arms and closed her eyes, a peaceful face ……
“Jacqueline!!!” Along with the sound of the object falling into the water, Cornel a cry of alarm also followed the annihilation.
Logan was about to take Elena back to her grandmother’s side, but didn’t want to get into the car before he received a call from Cornel, the phone, his voice seemed extraordinarily panicked and scared.
“Logan, Jacqueline, Jacqueline she ……”
Logan heard the wrong place swish sank, “What’s going on!?”
“She, she jumped into the river!” Cornel stumbled for half a day and finally yelled out a complete sentence, “I, I wasn’t paying attention, I don’t know.”
“Where are you now!”
“In Iroh River ……”
Cornel’s hands holding the phone were shaking at this point, and the river looking down had long been empty, the current was strong, and people who fell head-on…… did not necessarily survive……
Logan mused, “You wait for me over there, I’ll go over there now!”
“Good ……”
The moment he hung up the phone, Cornel sat down on the bridge with limp legs, staring blankly at the river, without color ……
Elena listened to Logan’s nervous tone and her small face sank slightly, “What’s wrong? Is it Dad’s phone?”
“Jacqueline, jumped into the river.” Logan’s cool voice at this moment, like a muffled thunder suddenly exploded ……
Elena’s whole head was buzzing, she blinked her eyes, unable to react, “What did you say?”
Jacqueline killed herself? The same Jacqueline who always had thorns in her words, who never spared anyone, who did countless wrong things?
How is it possible!
The long and thin eyelashes trembled slightly, and the blood in the body involuntarily followed the reverse flow ……
Logan looked at the suddenly terrified person, and could not control immediately circled her into the arms, “Do not be afraid, it’s okay.”
He said, turned his head to Jacob in the driver’s seat austere said, “Go to Iroh River!”
Jacob nodded and wordlessly started the car.
“Isn’t Jacqueline fine? Why all of a sudden ……” Elena’s words with a trembling voice, before she finished, immediately thought of something in general the starlight in the eyes followed a flash, “because of Yolanda?”
“Maybe.”
Yolanda was the only thing she had left to rely on, and it was also the last thing she had in her life. Now that Yolanda has committed suicide, she is about to face a devastating life, so it is better to die than to live.
Elena clenched her lower lip, indescribable emotions welling up in her chest.
Logan patted her back soothingly, “Let’s go first, it’s just not always possible to find people.”
“Mm-hmm.” Elena nodded heavily, her slender body buried in his arms, feeling the warmth of his body.
When a few people arrived, the Iroh River bridge was swarming with people, and Elena looked away to see Cornel just sitting on the ground, eyes listless……
