Zachary's Death

It was too late for regrets… 

Jeanne's eyes were red and filled with tears.

There were too many regrets in this world. Sometimes, it was not that she did not have any emotions, but she just had to hold it all back. 

If she had gotten together with Edward back then, they would… really be together now. 

"I'm sorry," Zachary apologized in a heavy tone.

Jeanne shook her head. After all, it no longer mattered.

"In the future." Zachary suddenly grabbed Jeanne's hand.

Jeanne looked at him and at his old, dry hand gently patting the back of her hand, as if to say, "I'll leave Edward to you."

Leave Edward to her? She could only be with him for another two months.

However, she still agreed, "Okay."

The only way to forgive him for his actions back then was to agree to his request.

Zachary smiled in relief. Then, he suppressed his urge to cough and said in a suppressed voice, "Call Edward in for me."

"Alright."
