    Chapter 1526


    Violet lowered her gaze and gave off a smile.


    "Actually, I didn’t do much.I just taught them to make paper cranes, stars, and more.Those are what


    Jacob taught me before."


    The dean approached her and took her hand.


    "Viv, I’ve always known that you couldn’t let go of Jacob.Jacob was a good man.It''s a pity that..."


    She interrupted the dean abruptly, "Please stop, ma’am, please stop."


    "viv, you must learn to face the facts."


    The dean took a deep breath and could not help but feel downcast.


    "There’s no need for you to put all the me on yourself."


    At that moment, the already cracked dam in Violet’s heart was being mmed again, and it crumbled.


    She lowered her head and admitted deep down that she was not as strong as she had been portraying


    herself throughout all these years.


    Despite how others misunderstood and badmouthed her over the years, she had never cared.


    The only thing that would shatter her was Jacob.She could not bear it any longer—the pain that had


    been buried deep in her heart for a long time erupted all at once.


    The dean hugged her distressingly, and her eyes were bloodshot too.


    "Viv, you need to let him off your mind."


    "I can’t do so."


    She choked on her own tears and words, shook her head, hugged the dean tightly, and sobbed.


    "If even I were to forget about him, no one else in the world would remember him anymore.He’s dead


    because of me."


    The dean was heartbroken.


    Jacob had grown up in the orphanage.He did not have any background, and the dean was the one who


    took care of him when he was a child.


    To her, Jacob was like her biological son.


    Jacob was very obedient and sensible.


    He was also a happy-go- lucky boy who loved tough and treated others gently.He had been kind all


    his life, but unfortunately, his rtionship with Violet did not end well.


    Aaron believed an orphan was not worthy of his daughter, so he secretly hindered their rtionship and


    even used his daughter’s life, nning a kidnapping incident.


    He originally wanted to use this event, thinking that he would be able to force Jacob into revealing his


    true colors.


    As long as Jacob was afraid of dying and left Violet behind, Violet would definitely give up on him.


    s, he had underestimated Jacob’s feelings for Violet, and the kidnapping incident ended up being a


    catastrophe.


    The kidnappers Aaron had hired did not keep their promises and asked for arger amount of ransom,


    but Aaron did not agree.


    Thus, they put on their game face and threatened to kill Violet.


    However, Jacob blocked a bullet for Violet and died right under her nose.


    The dean patted Violet’s back lightly, and Violet could not stop crying.


    The pain and grievances that had been buried underneath her disguise gushed out all at once.


    The dean raised her head when she was about to console Violet and saw Jackie standing outside the


    door.


    No one knew how long he had been there—he only entered the room after he was discovered.


    The dean reminded Violet of something, and Violet stopped crying, looked back at Jackie, and wiped


    away her tears immediately.


    "What are you doing here?"


    "Your mother thought you had gone missing."


    Jackie nced at the children sitting at the table, folding paper cranes, and those children stared at him


    curiously.He paused for a few seconds, and his tone softened.


    "Grandpa asked me toe out and search for you." Violet sighed.


    "I''ll go back by myself as soon as I’ve had enough fun."


    She then went into the room to calm herself down.


    The dean naturally knew who Jackie was.

    "Young Master Clifford, Viv has made you worry.I’ll apologize to you on her behalf."


    During normal times, Jackie would not have epted the apology.


    Whenever someone did something wrong and needed someone else to apologize on her behalf, he


    would only think that the person was not ountable and would not admit her mistake.


    But seeing her in the orphanage, shedding her tough disguise for the first time, and crying


    heartbrokenly, it was really inappropriate for him to say any hurtful words at that moment.


    Thus, he responded with a faint hum.


    "It’s okay."


    He then turned around, looked at those children, and asked after a long time, "Does shee to the


    orphanage often?"


    The dean paused for a split second and then replied slowly, "Yes, Vives here asionally


    whenever she’s free, and she’ll stay with the children for quite some time.The children here like her


    very much too."
