Chapter 52
After Dad passed away, Mom didn’t blame me. She told me that Dad had told her he had no regrets. In my previous life, I was killed, and he couldn’t do anything. This time, he saved his daughter with his own hands. He was happy.
The day after my dad passed, I went to the church. The prayer room was full of prayer ribbons hanging on the walls. I saw Dad’s prayer right away. It said, “God, please resurrect my daughter, I’m willing to trade my life for hers.”
Hundreds of identical prayers, it was chilling. I knelt on the floor, crying uncontrollably. I always thought that I was able to be reborn because of my resentment. It wasn’t true. My second life was bought with my father’s endless pleas. A father’s love, so heavy, so profound. Now, that weight made me feel unbearably guilty.
When I visited the cemetery, I burned the newspaper with Lily’s story. Murderers/ should pay for their crimes. Lily was eventually sentenced to death, even though she was diagnosed with schizophrenia, but she was lucid when she killed me. Her target was clear – it was me. According to the law, those with intermittent mental illness should be held criminally liable if they commit a crime while in a lucid state.
John became a pariah. That was thanks to the reporters who were there. They dug up everything about John’s mental abuse of Lily, and they also exposed his prostitution and other things. His pet store closed down, and he was sentenced to ten years for prostitution.
Everything had come to an end, and the evil people had been punished. But I wasn’t as happy as I thought I would be, because I had lost the most important person in my life.
I knelt before my dad’s grave and knocked my head on the ground a few times. I hated my helplessness. I was reborn, and the so-called revenge I got was by trading my father’s life. But I had to move on. I still had Mom to take care of.
In the next life, Dad, let me protect you and Mom BOOKS
But just after a few days of attending, Patrick became infatuated with one of his teachers, who was also his wife in his previous life.
Upon first meeting her, Patrick immediately grabbed her by the leg.
“Honey, I was wrong about you before. From now on, I’ll only treat you well.”
The young teacher was terrified by his behavior and took a month off.
Patrick was also suspended from class for a month due to his inappropriate actions.
He wouldn’t give up and kept harassing her at her apartment building with flowers in hand.
When she didn’t show up, he would yell through the window, “Honey, I love you!”
Finally, Patrick was driven away by security for disturbing the peace.
Patrick then lost interest in his studies, deeming academic performance irrelevant, and dropped out of school after just a few months.
Many years later, when Blake and I held our wedding, Yaritza flew back from abroad, accompanied by her boyfriend with a charming London accent.
They were very affectionate, and Yaritza, now more mature and sophisticated than during high school, had a refined air about her.
“Averie, you have such clear goals at a young age. If I had been like you, I would have avoided a lot of detours.”
Yaritza had endured quite a bit of hardship after failing to go to universit arriving in Paris.
Whenever she faced difficulties, she would call me for support.
I always told her, “You have to learn to take responsibility for your own life.”
Today, she has become the chief designer at the Miu Miu brand.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
The wedding was held in a historic church
At the wedding, Dustin brought me before the priest.
The priest looked at Blake and me, asking me, “Will you love, honor, and cherish
Blake, and be faithful to him as long as you both shall live?”
“I will.”
Blake and I exchanged smiles.
After eight years of being together, we had finally reached this moment.
Not everyone’s youth was about skipping classes and romance. A mundane youth was also worth celebrating, and countless test papers and mistakes had led to who
I was today.
My true love had always been waiting for me in the bright future.
