The bleakness of this place can't be overemphasized. Michael had already been buried in such a place
forever, while Jacob himself had no idea what would happen in the future.
The current life was totally different from his previous plan. But most people were still wondering what
was going on.
Jacob also didn't know what was going on, which was undoubted.
"For a long time, I felt that losing my mother was a very unfortunate thing. Everyone else had their
mothers except me. At that time, I thought the most unfortunate thing in the world was losing my mom.
But today I finally find out that it is nothing compared to you."
Jacob looked at the bottle. The dense words on it looked blurred.
Jacob wiped his tears so that he could see clear.
"I always feel that I'm too late. Dad, I still like to call you dad. In my mind, you are the unique existence,
and James is another one. I have different feelings for you two."
Jacob said in a more and more serious way. He sat up straight and even put his hands on the knees.
"Just as he said, you spent the rest of your life forgiving, he spent the rest of his life atoning for his sins,
and I need to spend the rest of my life recalling. We are different, but we are all the same."
After saying that, Jacob raised his hand to support his face. He looked haggard, but there was a flicker
of uncertainty in his eyes.
He repeated James's words in order to let Michael know the regret in James's words.
In fact, Michael didn't hate James.
After all, Michael had also done such a thing as snatching others' beloved. That was the same reason,
the same pain.
One choice caused every step afterwards being unforgivable. Everyone who made that choice had to
pay for the mistake.
Of course, some people had to bear more, but it was normal. However, some people chose to escape,
while some chose to face it.
Facing a person was like facing this world. Sometimes, the terrible thing was not this world, but the
person we were about to face.
If Michael was still alive, Jacob probably couldn't accept this fact. However, Jacob had no choice but to
accept the fact in that Michael had passed away.
It was not that easy to give much more than gain.
"If you are still alive, I won't know how to say that. Although it's not a good thing, I still don't dare to face
you."
Speaking of this, Jacob looked up at Michael's tombstone again. There were no other words on it, no
cause of death and even no epitaph.
But that was what Michael requested. He said they only needed to write his name on the tombstone,
and nothing else.
Although it looked very simple, Jacob knew that this was Michael's biggest wish.
He came to this world with nothing, left with nothing, and just say goodbye to this mortal world.
Jacob reached out to touch the words on the tombstone.
"Dad, the men I admire most in my life are you and James. I hope you can make up. Let bygones be
bygones. Maybe I will bring James to see you here one day, although I don't know if he will come back
or not."
Jacob looked at the tombstone affectionately. It was rare for him to express his true feelings, but Jacob
knew that he had to value this chance for it might be the last time he talked about it this way.
"I originally thought James might give me some advice after I left the company. But he was tired. Now
he has gone to pursue his own freedom of life. I sincerely wish him the best."
Jacob poured another glass of liquor and held it in his hand. The white chrysanthemum in front of him
seemed a little dazzling.
He didn't expect that he would talk to Michael in this way before.
Jacob's legs were numb. Only when one felt uncomfortable would he really feel the existence of his
body.
Jacob stood up, the glass in his hand almost overturned.
"Look at me, father. I'm still so troublesome. Although I'm confident in my future, I can't promise that I
can do anything earth-shaking."
Jacob drank up the liquor in his glass. The liquor made Jacob feel the burning of life, especially when it
went through his throat.
"I'm going to take the path you've taken and feel the hardships you've gone through in starting a
business. I feel very ashamed for directly enjoying your achievements in the past. So now I have
returned all these things to the Shi clan."
Jacob paused and became more serious.
"Of course, don't worry. I don't mean any offense. I don't mean to disassociate myself with you. I just
think that I can finally feel how difficult life is now."
Jacob smiled. "The only thing I worry about is that Sara has to suffer the same pain as me. This is
probably the last thing I want to see.
I'm betting, for I don't know what will happen in the future. If I lose, Sara will suffer, and I will lose
everything. So I can't afford to lose, and I won't lose either."
Jacob patted his chest confidently, as if he promised in front of Michael.
"If you were here, you must laugh at me. I know it. But you will not only laugh at me, but also support
my passion. Anyway, I am deeply grateful to you for raising me and cultivating me."
After saying that, Jacob bowed deeply to the tombstone. Jacob respected and missed Michael very
much.
The person we missed would always live in our hearts. And this person would root in our hearts and
can never be eliminated.
Many people thought that many people would appear in their lives, but no one knew that the truly
important people didn't have to wait, they would naturally appear.
"There are many things in my life. There are also some traces for me to explore the future. I will follow
your path and experience different scenery. Meanwhile, I wish you a free and careless life in heaven."
After saying that, Jacob turned and was about to leave. But before leaving, he couldn't help but look
back at Michael's tombstone.
Michael was buried here in such a small space. What could be buried was his body, not the memory
about him.
As long as he came to this place, Jacob's memories would flood back.
This was probably the reason why humans built tombs. In fact, the tombs didn't have much meaning,
but they carried a lot of memories.
Jacob's slender legs drew a beautiful arc in the air. A few minutes later, he walked to the car.
There was silence on all sides. So it was kind of a good thing to sleep here.
Alice picked up a cup of coffee and drank it elegantly, with Thompson sitting opposite.
"I didn't expect you to do such a good job. Ha ha. You deserve to be my ally. Choosing you is really a
right thing."
Leaning against the chair, Thompson looked at Alice with a teasing smile. Alice was still proud as
usual.
She was also a magical woman. After experiencing so many ups and downs, she did not change a
little.
'Perhaps it was because of his personality.' Thompson thought to himself. But he treated Alice as
usual.
"I didn't expect you to tease me like that. Wait, why did I ally with you?" Alice sneered. Her attitude
showed her obvious dissatisfaction with Thompson.
"…"
Thompson was speechless for a few seconds. What a mean woman Alice was. He just teased her for a
few words and she should tease him right away.
