Chapter 526: Chapter 526: We All Died

[This went on for a week. The stress became too much, and I coughed up blood before collapsing into a coma.

I was in a coma for half a month.

During those two weeks, my grandfather made the decision to have Annabelle Linton’s body cremated.

When I woke up half a month later, the first thing I did was run to the morgue.

But Annabelle Linton was gone. Her body was gone. Everything was gone. All that was left was an urn of ashes...

The me in the dream completely broke down. I couldn’t even eat liquid food, surviving only on an IV drip.

Just when everyone thought I was a lost cause, I got dressed up one day and announced I was going to marry Vivian Yates.

Vivian Yates appeared before me in a wedding dress, unable to hide the blissful smile on her face.

The moment she was savoring her dream come true, I took a knife and plunged it viciously into her stomach.

I laughed as I looked into her disbelieving eyes.

I told her, "Let’s go to hell and repent together."

Then, I slowly cut off her eyes, her mouth, her hands, her feet, and her head as an offering to Annabelle Linton.

’I’ll probably never meet anyone as good as her again in this lifetime, will I?’

So, the me in the dream jumped from a 100-meter-high building.

My body hit the ground hard, smashed to pieces...

In the end, while sorting through my belongings, people discovered the final words left by the me in the dream...

It turned out I never planned on living on my own after Annabelle Linton died...

The note went something like this: Please keep my body intact, because I don’t deserve a dignified death.

It also said to bury my body with Annabelle Linton’s. We must be together for lifetime after lifetime, never to be parted for all eternity...

And just like that, the dream ended.

At the end of the dream, she was dead, I was dead, we were both dead.

That’s a kind of happiness too, isn’t it?

To be able to die with Annabelle Linton... I’m content with that.

But clearly, there’s no chance of that in this life. She’s getting married to another man. It’s real. I thought about crashing the wedding, but I’ve given up on the idea.

Because I have no reason to ruin her happiness anymore... To Annabelle Linton, I’m just a burden.

At the very end of the dream, I appeared before our grave.

I stared at the grave, at our two black-and-white memorial portraits, and couldn’t snap out of it for a long time.

As I was staring, I suddenly heard someone call my name. I whipped my head around, and the dream broke.

I woke up too.

But I didn’t want to wake up... because Annabelle Linton is about to get married. To Aaron Wyatt.

’How am I supposed to face this blow?’

’I guess not bothering her is the last kindness I can offer. But I’m so unwilling to let go.’

Annabelle Linton.

You were with me from kindergarten to high school, from a boy to a man.

I was with you from short hair to long hair, from a girl to a woman.

Did you know that the words I wrote in your Chibi Maruko-chan drawing book were my promise to you for a lifetime?

Our time together might have been unpleasant, or even terrible, but did you know?

No matter what our relationship became, there has always, always been a place for Annabelle Linton in Leona Grant’s heart. A place so special, so high, that even I am jealous of it.

It’s never been replaced by anyone.

We were so close when we were little, so why did things get worse as we grew up?

I know why. It was my fault. It’s always been my fault.

If only I had trusted you a little more, would we have ended up like this today?

Forget it, I’m not going to say any more. If I do, the tears will start falling again.

I wish you a happy marriage. I probably can’t make it. You probably don’t want me to come, anyway.

The most beautiful thing in my life was probably the fortune of meeting you and having been your one true partner.

Little Annabelle, I can no longer be a part of your life in this world. Shall we make a date for the next one?

In the next life, I will never let you go again.

—Leona Grant.]

After Annabelle Linton finished reading his document, she was already soaked in tears.
