When he saw Jackson's silent tears, Shane narrowed his gaze. “I thought that you would be more emotional after
learning that she loved you.”
In fact, he even considered the possibility of Jackson wanting to kill himself again just to be with Jacqueline.
As a consequence, he was surprised by Jackson's calm reaction. Instead of yelling hysterically, his only response
was tearing quietly.
Upon hearing Shane's words, Jackson took a deep breath and replied indifferently, “As I said before, I have gotten
over her. Therefore, its emotional impact on me is rather low. In spite of that, I am sad to learn that she did love
me. However, when I realized that her feelings for me would change nothing, I quickly calmed down. After all, she
would not come back to life just because I learned of the fact. Anyway, we're just not fated to be together. Now that
our relationship has ended, it's for the best.”

All this while, he loved Jacqueline and sacrificed a lot for her.
Therefore, it was enough for him to know that she too, loved him.
Going forward, he wasn't going to love another person or get married. Just like that, he was going to live the rest of
his life alone with the memory of Jacqueline's love.
Having read Jackson's mind, Shane pursed his lips. Just when he was about to say something, he finally decided
against it. Instead, he stood quietly by Jackson's side and watch Jacqueline turn into ash gradually.
By the time both of them came out of the crematorium, the sky was already dark, and Jackson was holding a box in
his hands.
In it was Jacqueline's ashes.
The thought of someone who used to be a hundred and sixty centimeters tall and weighed over ninety pounds
being reduced to ashes that fit into a small wooden box was a depressing one.
When Shane arrived at the parking lot together with Jackson and was about to say something, his phone rang.
Upon realizing it was Natalie, his gaze warmed as he answered.
Natalie's concerned voice rang out. “Darling, it's getting late. Why aren't you home yet? Are you still busy with
work?”
Usually, Shane would be on time to pick her up from work or go straight home to Thompson villa.
Even when he was late, he would always call to let her know in advance.
Therefore, she began to worry when she didn't hear from him.
The moment he heard Natalie's words, Shane realized that he had forgotten to inform her. Hence, he replied. “I'm
sorry that I've forgotten. I'm at the crematorium together with Jackson. Thus, I lost track of time.”
“At the crematorium with Dr. Baker?” Given a fright, Natalie sprang to her feet from the living room couch. “Is Dr.

Given that Jackson had insisted on killing himself to join Jacqueline, Natalie's concern wasn't that far-fetched.
As her voice was raised, Jackson heard her clearly, causing his lips to twitch in response.
“Shane, both you and your wife seemed to think that I will definitely die,” Jackson commented helplessly.
Shane snorted, “That's because what you did before drove everyone to think that way.”
“Erm...” Squirming his lips, Jackson lowered his head and smiled in embarrassment. With nothing more to say, he
stroked the wooden box in his hand in silence.
Turning his gaze away, Shane returned his attention back to the phone. “Jackson isn't dead. He's alive and well.”
“He isn't dead?” Natalie was briefly stunned. Subsequently, she asked, “In that case, what are you doing at the
crematorium?”
“Today is the day Jacqueline is cremated,” Shane answered.
Natalie's mind clicked. “I see. Well, she is due to be cremated after so many days. Is it done already?”
“Mmm-hmm,” Shane answered as he glanced at the wooden box.
Natalie nodded. “What time are you coming home then?”
