Chapter 1335
Shane sniggered, “I sure hope that''s the case.”
“Don''t worry. I won''t do anything foolish and end up disappointing my parents. Therefore, Shane, thank
you for your concern and the fact that you came here because you were worried that I would kill
myself.” Looking at Shane earnestly, Jackson expressed his gratitude.
A grim expression descended upon Shane''s face. “You''re overthinking it. I wasn''t concerned about you
and didn''te all this way for your sake.”
“Oh? In that case, are you here for a stroll?” Jackson teased.
Shane snorted, “I was just passing by.”
Jackson chuckled in glee. “All right, all right. Passing by it is.”
There was no way he was going to dete his friend''s ego.
After giving him the side-eye, Shane did not say anything further.
A whileter, something urred to Jackson, causing him to turn toward Shane. “By the way, are we
still friends?”
Shane furrowed his brows. “No.”
Upon hearing the answer, the hope on Jackson''s face gradually dissipated. With a darkening gaze, he
lowered his head and smiled wryly. “Fine. I thought that you have forgiven me, but it looks like I have
gotten ahead of myself.”
Shane pursed his lips. “We may no longer be best friends, but I don''t mind treating you as an ordinary
pal.”
As the spark in his eye was reignited, Jackson broke into a vibrant smile. “That''s wonderful.”
Even though his status was lowered, Jackson was willing to ept it as the price to pay for betraying
Shane.

In fact, he felt satisfied and was more than happy to do so.
Amidst their chat, the door to the makeup room swung open. As the cosmetologist stepped out, she
removed her mask and nodded at Jackson. “Dr. Baker, I''m done. You can head toward the furnace and
wait there.”
“Thank you.” Jackson nodded.
Subsequently, he, together with Shane and Ss, proceeded to the furnace.
Soon, Jacqueline was pushed out in a gorgeous wedding gown. Given how exquisite her makeup was,
one couldn''t help but think that she was asleep if one was unaware of her death.
Jackson didn''t approach her. Instead, he stood where he was together with Shane as they watch the
staff ce her body into the furnace.
Under normal circumstances, corpses were not allowed to be wearing any clothes or jewelry during the
cremation process.
However, exceptions were made for the wealthy. After all, one just needed to pay for the cleanup once
the cremation wasplete.
Just like that, the doors to the furnace were shut right after Jacqueline was wheeled inside.
The next second, the staff pushed a button.
When Jackson saw an inferno ignite within the furnace, his eyes began to moisten.
As for Shane, he gave Jacqueline an expressionless stare as he watch her body being incinerated.
Instead of the feelings reserved for a sister or an enemy, he felt as if she was just a toy doll that wasn''t
worthy of his feelings.
“Shane, do you know that I was there when Jacqueline was born?” Jackson remarked suddenly.
Shane cocked a brow. “You saw her being born?”
I wasn''t aware of that.
Jackson nodded. “Yes, I was four that year. When I was ying in the hospital one day, I saw
Jacqueline''s mom being wheeled into the delivery room. Coincidentally, the doctor who was
responsible for her caesarian operation was off duty. Hence, my dad had to step in and take over the
operation instead. As for me, I snuck in out of curiosity and hid inside the room where I watched
Jacqueline being delivered.”
At that moment, Jackson paused to let his emotions sink in.
A few minutester, he took a deep breath and continued, “The reason I have such strong feelings for
her is that I watched her being born. To me, she''s just different, for it was the first time I witness the
birth of life. The reason I chose to walk in my dad''s footsteps to be a doctor was also because of
her, for she made me understand the beauty of life and medicine.”
“Unfortunately, you ended up witnessing a demon being born.” Shane didn''t mince his words at all.
