"After knowing the truth of Adela's death, I was afraid that Laurence would ask me about it and I could
not hold back from telling him the truth, so I chose to leave the Miller family and hid away. You have no
idea what Adela had done for Laurence. Her body was full of pinpricks and I helped her cover them up.
Seeing a lively young girl losing her life because of love, I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. I used
to think that I knew what love is about, but after seeing what Adela did for Laurence, I realized that I
know nothing about true love."
Morgan sat down beside Nicole, and poured herself and Nicole a glass of water each. She held the
glass and took a drink to moisten her throat.
"When I was with Kemp, I thought I loved him. When he chose his business over family, I felt that I was
left out and thought he loved his business more than us. But after thinking it through, I realized that I
might not love him as much as I imagined. I was indeed sorrowful when he was dead, but I had never
thought about whether I would be able to continue my life without him. I felt my heart was numb. Then I
met Adela, a young girl, and was astonished by her passion and selflessness to Laurence. Her love for
Laurence was pure and sincere. She just simply loved him without weighing gains or losses. When I
came to her side, there was nothing I could do for her. My nickname is Satan King, but I'm not a real
one. I could not save her, but watch her die slowly for her lover. This was the first time that I felt weak
and powerless."
Morgan said in a choked voice.
Nicole felt even worse.
She had thought of many possibilities. She even conjectured that Professor Miller, a cruel person,
stopped Laurel from telling them. She didn’t expect that Adela who looked gentle and weak would be
so brave.
Nicole did not know what to say, nor did she know how to face Laurence.
Morgan patted her on the shoulder and said in a low voice, "Adela's death gave me a huge blow. Then
I met your mother and learned her story. I decided that I have to stay alive and do what I want to do for
the rest of my life. I must treat the people around me well. As for you, Nicole, you are lucky and live
happily, because you have Samuel by your side and you guys love each other. Nothing is important
when it comes to death. If it is possible, I think Adela also wants to live. She also wants to accompany
Laurence until they grow old, but she has no choice. Cherish your time and live a good life with
Samuel. Don't let my disciple worry."
Nicole nodded as she listened. Her heart was heavy.
"Don't worry. I will cherish my current life, and I will treat Laurence well."
Nicole didn't dare to let Laurence know the truth because it was too cruel for him.
She finally stood up and opened the door. To her surprise, Laurence was standing in the corridor with
tears all over his face.
"Laurence, you...."
"I originally wanted to inquire about Adela's death. I didn't expect that she died because of me."
Laurence's heart ached so much that he felt he was dying.
How could he deserve all that Adela did for him!
He was originally a dying person, a monster that shouldn't exist in this world. Why would Adela give up
her own life to save him?
He was already able to die with satisfaction when Adela could love him. Why was he not the one who
died? Why would Adela die?
Didn't she know that it was more painful for him to live alone in this world without her?
Looking at Laurence who was miserable and guilty, Nicole felt her heart broken.
"Laurence, Adela did it all for you. Don't let her down."
"Don't worry. I won't commit suicide. Adela's parents are still alive. If they are not, I might do this. I'm
not alone. Adela will live in my heart, forever. She has sacrificed her life for me. How could I not cherish
my life? I want to take care of her parents for her and live well. Adela always wanted to travel all over
the country when she was alive. Unfortunately, she did not have the chance, nor did she have the time.
From now on I will go to a place for vacation every year with her love. I hope Mrs. Green can give me
your permission. The leave won't take too long, just a month."
How could Nicole say no to his request now?
"Alright. I promise."
"Thank you, Mrs. Green."
Laurence expressed his thanks and left away.
Looking at his lonely figure, Nicole knew that Cara had no opportunity any more.
No matter how outstanding Cara was, it was impossible for her to compete with the dead. Moreover,
Adela died for Laurence.
"He finally knows the truth." A low voice sounded. It was Morgan. Nicole didn't notice him standing
behind her until he spoke.
"There's nothing wrong with this. Adela has paid so much for Laurence. He should know what she did."
Hearing it, Morgan sighed, "I hope we are right and Adela can rest in peace."
"Will you go back to the Seapolis City with us?"
Nicole suddenly changed the topic and Morgan paused for a moment.
Then he said, "Of course, I will. I want to see my disciple! If I don't go to the Seapolis City, will you allow
me to take him away?"
"No way! Joseph has to stay with us. When he grows up and goes to college, I might let him leave. But
he is still a kid now, so he must stay by our side. Moreover, I need you to treat my mother's illness.
Therefore, it is the best choice that you go back with us."
Morgan suddenly wrinkled her nose.
"Wait a moment. Shouldn't you beg me to go back? But it doesn't sound like that at all."
Nicole immediately laughed.
"Alright. I'm begging you to follow us back to the Seapolis City, okay?"
Morgan pretended to refuse, "I don't have any money. If I go to the Seapolis City, where do I live?"
"You can live in our house. There are more rooms. Don't worry. I'll give you a salary every month for
your being the teacher of Joseph. What do you think?"
"Do you really think I'm a beggar? I don't want your money. I can earn money by myself. I've already
thought of it. After returning to the Seapolis City, I want to open a hospital myself. However, I need you
to help me apply for licenses."
"No problem."
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief when Morgan finally agreed. She was really afraid that he wouldn't follow
her back.
After getting out of the house, Laurence walked to a corner and cried out.
As a man, he could not shed tears casually, but at this moment, he could not hold any more.
He remembered life was very hard when he was young and Adela would sit down beside him with
delicious food. She smiled and comforted, "Halve your pain with me and you'll be much more relaxed."
"How?"
Laurence thought she was really interesting. How could he give the pain to her?
If he could, he would give it all to others.
Then Adela stretched out her arm and said with a smile, "You can hit me. Your body is hurting. If you hit
me, I'll feel pain too. Then you will be relieved."
Laurence thought she was a fool.
Afterwards, he knew that she was Professor Miller's daughter. It was her father who tortured his
parents and him. He really wanted to beat her up and even strangle her to death, but she kept smiling
and did not get annoyed at his rude actions at all.
Perhaps from that moment onwards, Laurence felt that she was an angel sent by the God to
accompany him.
From that day, they became friends and then lovers.
When he thought that Adela had been accompanying him for so many years and were always putting
him in her mind, he felt more anguished.
Professor Miller ruined his parents and his life, but Adela tried to make up for it with her own life.
He didn't want this kind of repayment!
He didn't want it!
He only wanted Adela to live healthily, to stand in front of him and to pester him every day, asking him
to tell her stories, massage her back and wash her feet.
He could almost hear her laughter, silvery and infectious. But he could no longer really hear it again.
Laurence cried for a long time, his eyes red and swollen. Finally, he stood up and attempted to
compose himself. He took out his phone and called Professor Miller and Mrs. Miller.
Once the phone was picked up, he asked, "You have already known the cause of Adela's death,
haven't you?"
Professor Miller fell silent.
And Mrs. Miller cried out.
Although they didn't say anything, Laurence already knew the answer.
They knew it!
Perhaps it was too late when they knew. So, Mrs. Miller hated him and treated him like that before.
Laurence's tears rolled down again.
"From today onwards, you are my parents and I am your son. I will take care of you in the future. I will
do everything that Adela can do for her. If mom doesn’t want me to get married in this lifetime, I swear
today that Adela is my only wife and I will never regret."
Hearing Laurence's promise, Mrs. Miller almost fainted from crying.
After hanging up the phone, Laurence pulled himself together and turned around, only to see Cara
standing behind him.
He knew that Cara had a crush on him, but at this moment, he didn't even cast a glance at her but just
walked away.
"Really? You won't get married for the rest of your life?"
Cara's voice was trembling, and her eyes were faintly glittering with water.
Laurence paused for a moment and said, "Don't waste your time on me. There is no room for others in
my heart."
"Laurence...."
Cara wanted to catch him, but he avoided.
"Morgan said that you need to lay low for a little while. You shouldn't have gotten out of bed, and you
shouldn't have come here either. Go back. Mrs. Green is still waiting for you to take care of her."
After saying that, Laurence made his way, without looking back at her again.
Cara finally couldn't help but cry.
Was this relationship that hadn't even started going to end just like this?
She squatted down and hugged herself. She cried so sadly that she didn't notice a figure quietly
approaching her from behind.
