Marcus felt a heavy weight on his heart. “That’s just life, innit? No one can stick with us forever, we
meet different people at every stage of life”
7 don’t give a damn what others do” Comelia replied, “You told me we’d grow old together, so you gotta
stick with me, can’t abandon me. If you do, I’ll hate you forever, and never forgive you”
Yeah, Marcus had made such a promise. But back then, he had no clue about his health condition.
Now, he knew his health was going downhill, and he wasn’t sure how long he could be with her. So, he
dared not make any promises to Cornelia anymore.
Marcus tried to change the subject, “Comelia, I’m parched, can I get a drink of water?”
Comelia immediately let go of him, “Get yourself hydrated and grab a bite. You’ve been fighting the fire
for hours, must be dead on your feet. I reckon I should postpone this moming’s meeting, you should
head back and rest.”
Marcus replied, “No need, I can hang on.”
Comelia insisted, “Nothing’s more important than your health. I’ll sort it out, you have to go home and
get some shut eye.”
Faced with Cornelia’s firm stand, Marcus had to comply, “Alright then.”
Comelia looked up at the ruins, the spot where Skyler had been, the origin of the fire, also the most
devastated area, “Is Skyler…?”
Marcus answered, “Burnt to a crisp, not even bones left. We can’t tell which are her ashes and which
are the woods.”
Comelia felt a pang in her heart, “How did the fire start? Did Skyler have to be turned to ashes to finally
escape from Zavier?”
Tears fell from her eyes, “I’ve been orphaned since childhood, cursed by neighbors for bringing bad
luck, later framed and couldn’t return home. So I always thought I was the most miserable person in the
world. But compared to Skyler, at least I’ve got Granny Rebecca who loves me, Abby and Zack who
stay by my side, and now you. But Skyler, she’s always been alone, doesn’t even have a friend to
confide in. She wanted to escape Zavier, but people around her always advised her to bear with it,
never to divorce. Nobody knew Skyler’s inner pain, so she couldn’t escape the man she feared the
most and had to resort to such an extreme way to end her life.”
Marcus also looked at the spot, “Don’t beat yourself up. It might be a relief for her to choose this way.”
After the fire, Marcus and firefighters went to Skyler’s location. Generally, a fire wouldn’t burn a person
to nothing but ashes, but Skyler was just that, reduced to a pile of ashes that might not even be hers.
Cornelia felt guilty, “I could have saved Skyler. If I had insisted a bit longer last night, maybe I could
have stopped her suicide.”
Marcus cut her off, “Cornelia, you gotta understand, Skyler’s an adult. Dhe knew what she was doing,
and she had to take responsibility for her actions. You’re her friend, it’s great if you can help her. But if
you couldn’t save her, don’t blame yourself, got it?”
Cornelia got his point, but just couldn’t stop feeling bad.
Marcus gently patted her head, then said. “The Rivera and Blue families should be here soon, let them
handle the situation here, we should head back.”
“Alright.” Cornelia looked at Skyler’s spot, bowed deeply, “Skyler, like you said in the letter, if there’s a
next life, we’ll meet again in spring”
Marcus said, “If you wish, you’ll meet again.”
Cornelia replied, “Yes, we surely will.”
Just then, Ayden came over to report, “President Hartley, Zavier’s awake”
Marcus asked, “Is he still out of control?”
Ayden replied, “He’s been lying there quietly since he woke up, hasn’t done anything. But his hair’s
turned all gray in just a few hours.”
Marcus took Cornelia’s hand and said, “Let’s go see him.”
