He broke down and cried, “Vera, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have left you there alone yesterday. Please wake up, okay? Don’t punish me like this.”
“Vera, how can I live without you?”
His voice trembled, and the tears rolled down his cheeks over Vera. However, the latter didn’t move
at all.
Everyone knew that Jeremy loved Vera deeply. It was no doubt difficult for him to come to terms
with the sudden loss of his beloved.
The staff member was also infected by his grief, but he had to carry out his duties.
He walked over and gently comforted Jeremy, “Mr. Fawcett, please accept our condolences. We understand your current mood, but Ms. Perry is gone. The most urgent task now is to quickly sign the death confirmation form, so that she can rest in peace.”
“Ques
At this, Jeremy raised his head. With bloodshot, he shouted, “Go away! Vera is not dead. She is just sleeping.”
“Impossible! Impossible!”
Vera loved him so much. How would she kill herself suddenly?
–Watching his frantic appearance, the staff member had no choice but to hand Vera’s phone to him.
“Mr. Fawcett, this is Ms. Perry’s phone we found at the scene. Take a look, please.”
Jeremy was stunned for a while before taking the phone. He muttered, “Yes, give me the phone. Vera must have something to say to me. How could she be so cruel to leave me like this?”
He entered the password to unlock the phone. A chat interface with Elsa appeared before his eyes.
The most recent message was sent by Elsa yesterday. She meant to provoke Vera.
“I know he went to Heliotropia with you. So, what? With just a phone call from me, he can fly to Silverglade and buy the food I love. Vera, just admit it, you can never compare to me.
It was the last time Elsa provoked Vera, but it was her first time responding to Elsa.
“Since you like the garbage that I don’t want so much, then I’ll give it to you.‘
As Jeremy continued to scroll up, messages from Elsa came into his view one after another, each filled with vicious arrogance and mockery.

you think he would leave for me?”
“I’m sorry! Jeremy was worried about me and insisted on taking me home. Vera, it seems like you lost again.”
Jeremy could hardly believe his eyes. How could Elsa, who seemed so innocent and lovely, say such a thing?
Elsa knew full well that he liked her but repeatedly came up with excuses to call him away, just to test who he truly loved. What was worse, she then mercilessly mocked and ridiculed Vera. How could Elsa do this?
Vera must have been in pain, right?
While imagining himself to be her and experiencing all this, Jeremy felt so sad that he almost
couldn’t breathe.
She had known all of this all along, yet she pretended as if nothing had happened, watching him hesitating between her and Elsa.
He could not restrain himself any longer and suddenly screamed. It was as if the great pain was about to consume him.
