Chapter 1617 The 29th day
Ste promised Amelia that she would video chat with her every day, but on the 29th day, Ste didn’t
answer any calls.
Amelia held her phone with a ck screen, feeling increasingly uneasy and realizing that something
was wrong. Erin seemed to have set a deadline for a month…
She quickly left the study and went to find James, only to see him answering a phone call with a
serious expression she had never seen before. She hesitated to approach, afraid of hearing bad news.
She stopped in her tracks, silently watching his tall figure.
“No matter what, you can’t give up, keep saving people,” James instructed, hanging up the phone and
turning to look at Amelia. He noticed the nervous and fearful emotions in her eyes and furrowed his
brows slightly.
“Is something wrong with Ste?” Amelia stepped on the soft carpet, slowly walking towards James. As
she got closer, she could see the regretful emotions in the man’s eyes more clearly.
James didn’t want Amelia to worry, but she would eventually find out about this matter. After a moment
of hesitation, he nodded gently.
“Shemitted suicide.”
Shem
The local police in Panama called and said that after Ste confessed and sent a message, she chose
to shoot herself. By the time they arrived, she had already lost too much blood and showed no signs of
life.
James didn’t want to give up and insisted that the local police continue to try to save her, but even the
bullet pierced through the ss of thending window, making it impossible to save her.
When Amelia heard that Ste hadmitted suicide, her petite body suddenly stiffened in ce.
Even her feet on the carpet felt cold, as if she had been ced in an ice cave and couldn’t feel the
outside temperature. It was so cold…
James quickly reached out and pulled her into his embrace. Hisrge,forting hands gently stroked
her back.
“This was Ste’s choice.”
It was her choice, and no one could stop it, including Amelia, who had tried her best to warm Ste.
Because from the beginning, they had misunderstood one thing: Ste still loved Erin. It was because
of that love that Ste felt life was unbearable and ultimately chose death.
If they had known from the beginning that Ste still loved Erin, they might have had a chance to save
her. But there were no “ifs.” Ste’s actions from start to finish showed that she no longer loved Erin.
Amelia, leaning against James, tightly grasped his shirt as a wave of self-me, regret, and heartache
overwhelmed her, causing her tears to burst out uncontrobly.
If she had gone with Ste to the free clinic, Ste wouldn’t have had the time to do something foolish,
and Amelia wouldn’t have had to hear about her suicide…
But Ste, she loved Erin so much. She loved him to the point that she didn’t even show a hint of grief
or anger after his death. She simply arranged everything calmly and then went to Panama to fulfill
Erin’sst wish, to be buried together with him.
At the moment when Amelia’s tears fell, she finally understood the meaning of the 29 days. But why
didn’t she guess it earlier? It was because she thought that Ste didn’t love.
They all thought that, including Eva and Andrew. Everyone around Ste thought she didn’t love Erin,
and some even hated him so much that they wished he would die.
Ste pretended very well, deceiving everyone, including herself. Because of this, even Erin thought
before his death that Ste didn’t love him…
Amelia couldn’t perceive what Ste felt when she realized this, but she could only feel the regret in
this emotion.
The kind of regret that made her want to cry every time she thought about it. To think that someone
Erin believed Ste didn’t love him anymore, and died in such a tragic way. And to think that Ste
pretended not to love Erin anymore, and died in such a miserable way.
But they had never truly loved each other during their lives. Even during the few years they were
together, Ste deceived Erin without a trace of sincerity. So how could they not feel regret?N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
