Chapter 1677


    Larkin coughed lightly, his ears turning red.


    “I do what I want.”


    He said this with a proud smirk on his face, casting his gaze down and continuing to bandage the


    mosquito bites on her arm. The atmosphere between them was


    too romantic.

    Just then, another boat docked, and four or five girls came over, chatting away.


    They sat down next to Erica and her group.


    Erica felt a bit embarrassed, so she reined herself in.


    However…


    “Look at this!” A girl suddenly got excited, “Finally got signal! Look, there’s news from home. A rich guy


    named Jacob, who was outed for betraying a girl for sixteen years, is critically ill now!”


    “Wait, what? Didn’t they say he was trying to crash a wedding a few days ago? How did he be


    critically ill?”


    “I saw a paparazzi report saying that he failed to get the girl back at her wedding in Switzend, then


    went home and overdosed!”


    Hearing this, Erica snapped back to reality


    “Sorry, where did you see this news?” She got up with a frown and walked over to them.


    They all looked at Erica.


    She was still wearing an outdoor hat.


    Erica simply took off her hat Tm Erica”


    They were all stunned


    The girl who was reading the news instinctively handed her phone to Erica.


    Erica took it, her face serious as she checked the news.


    The hot news was just recently posted. A well-known gossip ount revealed Jacob’s medical


    condition.


    Many details were blurred out, but the words organ failure were mentioned quite a lot


    Erica’s heart pounded as she read.


    Further down, the insider mentioned in thements that Jacob had attempted suicide by overdosing,


    which led to multiple organ failures


    “No way!” Erica blurted out instinctively.


    The girls were still looking at her in confusion.


    Im sorry…”


    Erica realized her outburst and returned the phone to them.


    Then it hit her she wasn’t here alone, she was here with her newlywed husband.


    But after hearing about her ex-boyfriend’s news, she had left her husband and came over here…


    She quickly looked at Larkin.


    Larkin was sitting there like a lost puppy, looking at her


    Erica hurried back


    “Larkin, don’t get the wrong idea…”


    “I didn’t.” Larkin took her hand, “What’s going on? Did Jacob reallymit suicide?”


    “I don’t know” Enca frowned, then said determinedly, “But I don’t think he would do something like that!”


    “Who knows, maybe he lost his mind because he lost such a good girl like you?” Larkin said calmly


    Erica gently patted the back of his hand.


    Then she said somewhat guilty, “Larkin, I..”


    Larkin let go of Enca’s hand, picked up his phone, and began to y with it


    Erica went silent.


    She thought What does Jacob’s life or death have to do with me? I have nothing to do with him


    anymore. It would be homble if my new marriage was damaged because of Jacob


    “After lunch, we’ll head straight to the airport”


    While Erica was lost in her thoughts, Larkin handed her his phone


    On the screen was a sessful flight booking “If all goes well, we’ll see Jacob tomorrow”


    “Larkin, I don’t have romantic feelings for him anymore.” Erica closed the distance between them, “I just


    don’t want him to die because of me”


    “I don’t want that either.” Larkin said, gently touching Erica’s face, “If that’s the case, he’d have won.


    His shadow would always be in your heart, and I don’t want that.”
