Janice's speed of removing the fish was faster than Eva had expected. As soon as she finished eating
two Mutton Kebabs, she removed all the bones of a fish.
"Wow, Janice, you are so awesome. You have removed the fish bones so soon," Eva gave a thumbs
up and praised her.
Janice smiled, "Janet likes eating fish very much, but she won't spit out bones. So every time she eats
fish, I will help her pick it out and give it to her."
"Wow, you are so considerate. If only I could have a sister like you as well," Eva said with a smile.
"After my parents left, Janet and I went to our grandparents' house. Although they took care of us, we
two rely on each other. If I don't care about her, who cares about her?" Janice sighed.
"Now that Janet has Jade, you can be relieved," Eva said in a low voice.
"Yes." A bitter smile appeared on Janice's face. "My life is a tragic combination. Since I was born, I
have seldom been particularly happy until I met Jim. He is the only warmth and color in the coldness of
my black and white world. In the past, I was not afraid of death. I especially liked to play those terrifying
games, because death was a relief for me. But since I met Jim, I have tried my best to live a long life,
because I think my life is meaningful."
Janice paused and turned to look at Jim. "Jim, I can't live without you. You won't leave me, will you?
The reason why I worked so hard is that I want to see you again and be with you. If you don't love me
anymore and if you want to leave me, the only thing I can do is to end my life. I won't let myself go back
to that cold and dark world."
She said that on purpose in front of Eva. The only thing she wanted to do now was to keep Jim beside
her, even if it was an emotional kidnapping.
"Janice, you have recovered. You are a normal person now. It doesn't matter whether I am with you or
not. No one in the world can't live without someone else," said Jim in a low voice.
"If I leave you, I'm like a fish out of water and a human out of air. I'm sure I'll die," Janice said firmly.
"Haven't you gone through the eight years without me?" Jim asked.
"It's different. Although you're not with me, I have faith in myself. I survived with this faith," Janice said
pitifully.
Taking a sip of pear juice, Jim said slowly, "I've investigated professor Nicholas for you. He has a
normal sexual orientation, not a gay."
"How is that possible? He told me in person that he was a gay!" Janice retorted immediately.
"He must be lying to you. He has four girlfriends, but he doesn't have a boyfriend. His girlfriends all said
that his sexual orientation is normal," Jim said affirmatively.
Janice was shocked. She didn't expect that Jim would investigate Nicholas. If he went deeper, he might
dig out her relationship with Nicholas. In this way, she would really be done.
"Jim, why do you want to investigate professor Nicholas? If he knows it, he will be very angry."
"Of course I did it for you. I think Nicholas is much more suitable for you than me," Jim said slowly.
"He is just my doctor. There is nothing else. Don't think too much, okay? I only love you. I can't love
anyone else." Janice raised her voice and became a little excited.
"Janice, calm down. Maybe scum Jim is jealous. You can explain it clearly." Eva hurried to be the
peacemaker.
Janice began to cry pitifully.
"Janice, I don't mean anything else. I just hope that you can try to accept other people, because they
may love you more and more suitable for you than I do." Jim sighed.
Janice bit her lips, and a malicious light flashed through her eyes.
"I won't have another man in my life except you. We used to love each other so much. You said that
you wouldn't love anyone except me. You said that you only wanted to marry me in this life. You said
that as long as I could live well, you would do anything. Now we can finally do as you said. Aren't you
happy?"
Jim was silent.
When he first met Janice, he was shocked by her experience, her pain, and her toughness. He had
been praised by everyone since he was born. It was the first time that he had met such a strange girl
since he had never experienced hardships in the world.
He felt pity for her. He wanted to take care of her.
He thought it was love.
It was not until he met Eva that he realized that love was different from pity.
Now Janice was very healthy and no longer in danger of life. The pity in his heart naturally
disappeared.
Eva lowered her head to eat her food, but her mind was in a mess.
She didn't want to be mistress, but in fact, she did it passively.
If it weren't for her, Jim and Janice would have been back together. Without her, Jim would be ecstatic
for Janice's return. He would propose to her and organize a happy family with her.
If it weren't for her, they wouldn't have such a complicated relationship now.
But at this moment, she couldn't say anything. She could do nothing but pretending not to hear.
The room became extremely quiet.
The only audible sound was Janice sobs.
After that, Eva called Avis over and asked her to drive her home, leaving time and space for Jim and
Janice. They needed to stay alone.
Jim sent Janice home.
As soon as he got out of the car, Janice rushed over and hugged him. "Jim, stay here tonight. Let me
be your woman for one night. In this way, even if you don't love me anymore and even if we will break
up in the end, I will have no regrets."
"Janice." Jim shook off her hands. He had never wanted to possess her, not before, not now.
"You are different now. You are healthy and normal. You are perfect and excellent. You deserve a man
to love and care you with all his heart. You shouldn't waste your time on me. It will only bring you pain."
Janice raised her head and looked at him without a blink. "Jim, tell me. If it weren't for Eva, would you
still love me as you used to do? Can we resume our relationship?"
"Janice, there are not so many 'if' in life." said Jim in a low voice.
He admitted that if he didn't meet Eva, he might still be immersed in his longing for Janice and continue
to mistake himself for loving her. However, when he met Eva, he had realized that it was impossible to
change.
Janice clenched her teeth. She believed that without Eva, he would change his mind and marry her and
resume their relationship.
Eva shouldn't have existed!
This night, Eva was quite depressed. On the second day, she called Essie and asked her to be her
consultant.
"Essie, what's wrong with scum Jim? He loves Janice very much. At that time, he had been missing her
all the time. Why did he take a fancy to me?"
She lay on the glass training box of the little snail, worried.
"Love can't be manipulated by people. People can control their hands and feet, but they can't control
their hearts," comforted Essie, patting her on the shoulder.
"If only Vinton were here. I must be very happy now. I won't get involved in the love triangle of scum
Jim. And scum Jim would come back to reality and be loyal to Janice. Why is God so cruel to take my
Vinton away and leave all the troubles and pains to me to bear?" Eva felt sad.
"Eva, even if my brother is still alive, you have married him and you have a happy family. Jim can't be
with Janice anymore. If he didn't love her, then they wouldn't be happy together. In fact, Jim is a very
responsible person. He knows that he can't love Janice anymore and he won't marry her," said Essie.
Eva lowered her head. She remembered every word that Jim said when he was drunk. He had said
that he would be lonely all his life.
But his heart could change once, and maybe it could change a second time. He could fall in love with
Janice again.
"The point is that I just want to stay with Vinton and be his wife. I don't want to think about other people
or other feelings." Eva was extremely distressed.
"You don't have to accept Jim so soon, and you won't officially date him. You just give him a chance,
and also give yourself a chance. Don't close your heart too tight. You can get along with each other like
friends, just like you did with my brother before," said Essie slowly.
"But Vinton doesn't have a first love like Janice by his side. I can get along well with him without any
restraint. But scum Jim is different. Every time the three of us are together, I feel embarrassed, as if I
am a mistress." Eva sighed.
"Eva, you are wrong. Before marriage, everyone has the right to make a new choice, and also have the
right to fight for love and happiness. A mistress only exists in a marriage. Jim hasn't engaged to Janice,
let alone marry her. How can you be a mistress?" Essie comforted.
"But after all, she is her first love." Eva pouted.
"She has been pretending to be dead for eight years. According to Zac, she left when Jim loved her
most, and came back when he forgot her. It was a wrong time," Essie said straightforwardly.
"But don't you feel sorry for Janice? It was not easy for her to save her life, but she had to lose the man
she loved most. It was too cruel. She said she couldn't live without Jim. What if she really committed
suicide?"
