Stella Grace hurriedly got off the bed and rushed to the beach.
“Hey! Hey!” She picked up the big leaves on the ground and waved them in the air, trying to attract the attention of the fishing boats.
However, the boat didn’t seem to notice her and was headed the other way.
How could this be?
Stella looked at the fishing boat drifting away disappointedly. Her shoulders sank and the hope in her eyes dimmed.
“Stella, why are you standing here?” Jasper Milton asked worriedly, having just returned from fetching more water.
Stella pointed to the surface of the sea, to the faraway boat that was still visible.
Jasper held Stella’s shoulder and comforted her. “This is good news. This proves that boats still pass by this area. Maybe they didn’t see you. After all, there are not many people on a small fishing boat, and they must be busy fishing.”
Stella nodded, but that was the only thing she could do. She turned around and looked at Jasper.
He’d not only filled the bottles with mineral water, but also the bamboo bucket.
“This water is very sweet. Try some.” Jasper opened the mineral water bottle and handed it to Stella.
Stella took a sip.
The water was indeed sweet. The gift of nature was truly magical for there to be such a spring in the middle of the ocean.
With Jasper around, Stella felt much better.
“I think we must make something particularly eye-catching on the beach so that it will be noticed the next time fishing boats pass by.” Stella suggested.
“That’s not hard. To be eye-catching, it either needs to have a loud, big or special design. There are many big leaves on this island. If we connect them together and tie it onto 10 meter bamboo poles, we can create the word “SOS”. It should be eye-catching enough.”
“Let’s go and pick up the leaves, then. I’ll connect them all,” Stella said anxiously, pulling on Jasper to leave.
Jasper followed her lovingly. “Why didn’t I notice that you were an impatient person before?”
“Everyone has a dominant and secondary character. Under different circumstances, they show different characters. For example, many people feel lively, positive, and happy when they work, but when they go home and face their families, they may not want to talk, and they are gloomy,” Stella explained.
“Stella, no matter what you become, I will like you for whom you are,” Jasper said meaningfully.
Stella’s eyes quivered.
She knew what he was talking about.
She stopped, turned around and looked at him. “Stella has had a very painful life. She had a mental illness three years ago. She couldn’t even heal herself while she was studying in the United States for more than three years. A doctor can’t cure himself, can he?
After she came back, the things between you and Bettany, Bettany’s child, her own child, how she almost killed you, and the fact that you couldn’t be together – all this made her mental illness worse and in the end, she broke down.
She had been working on hypnosis. She had tried many times to hypnotize herself so that she could forget about you and the past, but she did not succeed.
She knew that she was hypnotizing herself. Under this kind of subconsciousness, she couldn’t hypnotize herself at all.
On the day of your release, Frederick Addington brought her to see you. She was satirized and slandered by your family, friends, and ex-girlfriend. She couldn’t be with you and had to bear the slander, but she couldn’t speak out the reason. She was in so much pain that I appeared because I wanted to help her. So I sent the notebook to you and threw away her bag.
I walked and walked, but quickly realized that there was no place for me to go to.
In the beginning, where you forgot her was in Yale City, and the incident also happened in Yale City. I wanted to go there.
After walking for a few days, I was a little tired. In my trance, there was a honking sound. I was startled, and Stella came back.
She was very confused at that time. I remembered what she had done, but she couldn’t recall what I had done.
She thought that there was something wrong with her mental state.
In fact, in medicine, this is known as split personality disorder. It is also the mental problem that common people refer to.
However, in my opinion, Stella and I are independent individuals. We are two different people, and I want to protect her.
As soon as she arrived at her friend’s house, you showed up.
She was very touched when she saw you. She was very happy, but when she remembered that she could not be together with you, she was very sad.
She hurt you with her indifferent attitude, and you responded with anger.
She threw things desperately and felt that it was better to die than to live in pain. Then I watched her hypnotize herself. I could never forget her bloodshot eyes, filled with pity, despair, frustration, emptiness.
I thought she was going to forget you and forget about the past, but she didn’t. She just wanted me to complete what she wanted to do.”
Stella dropped her eyes and stopped.
“What did she ask you to do?” Jasper asked.
She raised her head and looked at him.
What she wanted was: to complete what she couldn’t do, to heal Celine Grace, and deal with Frederick so that he could not hurt Jasper. Then, before she dies, she would leave A City and go to a place where no one could find her. She would die quietly so that no one would know that she was dead, especially Jasper.”
Her eyes were misty.
When Stella hypnotized herself, she forgot to hypnotize her heart.
She should have turned her into only a tool for the task.
“Will you help Stella fulfill her wish?” Stella asked.
“Yes.” Jasper answered without thinking.
Stella felt her heart aching terribly. It hurt so much that her tears were threatening to flow out of her eyes. She sniffled.
“She said that she wanted to cure her mother, that she would return the favor she owed, that she wanted to travel the world.” Stella paused and looked at Jasper with keen eyes. “She wanted Jasper to live a good and long life.”
“Live a good and long life?” Jasper looked at Stella suspiciously.
“Frederick has many schemes. If you are not careful, you will fall into his trap. He is nothing but hostile to you. I can only make plans for you if I stay by his side. Can you fulfill her wish?” Stella asked.
“I don’t need you to plan for me. I will be careful in the future and won’t let him take advantage of me again. If you stay by his side, I would rather die than live.” Jasper held her hand tightly.
“I won’t go to his side, but you must promise me that no matter what happens, you must live a long life. Can you do that?” she asked.
The corners of his mouth were lifted as he held her face dotingly. He gently stroked her cheek with his thumb. “Let’s do everything together, and live together until we are old. Even if we die, we will die together. We might not have been born together, but we will die together. Let’s live together and never be separated.”
Stella cried, tears flowing down.
She didn’t want them to die together, because she knew clearly that she wouldn’t live long.
