Chapter 25\u00a0<\/p>\n
For some reason, seeing Nina like this made Jessica\u2019s heart twist with a dull ache.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI trust you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina smiled slightly. \u201cIf I cut the wrong one, I\u2019ll give you my life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the first time Nina had called herself her big sister.\u00a0<\/p>\n
From Jessica\u2019s angle, she could even see the beads of sweat on Nina\u2019s forehead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She gently wiped the sweat from Nina\u2019s forehead, then closed her eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Snip!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The wire was cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The explosion they expected never came. Jessica opened her eyes, and they looked at each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The next moment, they hugged each other tightly, crying their eyes out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina was terrified. She was afraid of losing her sister, afraid that she would be the cause of her death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica, on the other hand, felt like she had just survived a disaster. She kept stroking Nina\u2019s head, \u201cIt\u2019s okay now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, their bond as sisters became stronger than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Isabelle was arrested.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she was being arrested, she was still struggling frantically.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She pointed at Nina and screamed, \u201cIt\u2019s all your fault!\u00a0<\/p>\n
It\u2019s you, you bitch, you made me lose everything!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina just watched her coolly, her face expressionless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She softly spoke a few words. \u201cIsabelle, you brought all of this on yourself.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Isabelle was taken away, and the evidence used for her bail was overturned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was forged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was sentenced to death.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before the execution could be carried out, it was discovered that Isabelle was three months pregnant.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, her sentence was changed to a suspended death sentence, to be carried out after the child was born.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Isabelle found out she was pregnant, she was stunned for a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she collapsed to the floor, laughing and crying, murmuring, \u201cIt\u2019s karma. This is all karma!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stole someone\u2019s heart, and now heaven was punishing her like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Making her carry that old man\u2019s child!\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the end, Isabelle killed herself in prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was four months pregnant at the time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t leave a single word behind.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sean stared at his bandaged reflection in the mirror, lost in a daze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He never regretted taking that bottle of acid for Nina. If it happened again, he would do the same thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Because he couldn\u2019t bear to see Nina suffer anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Sean couldn\u2019t accept the person he was now. He could already imagine how horrifying, how disgusting his face would be once the bandages came off.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t even accept it himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Let alone Nina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sean wanted to forever be the dashing, spirited Sean in Nina\u2019s eyes, not this.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Standing on the window ledge, the last thing Sean thought about was the first time he met Nina.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had been heartbroken, drinking himself into a stupor on a rooftop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And Nina had been standing on a rooftop, wanting to end her own life.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Looking down at the view below, Sean smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So this is what it feels like to stand here?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sean felt like he could finally understand how Nina felt back then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had been abandoned by the whole world, just like he was now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nina, I\u2019m sorry.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I owe you too much in this life. If there\u2019s a next life, I want to make it all up to you. I\u2019ll make you the happiest little girl in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
You\u2019ll live a life free of worries, without any hardship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sean leaped, and the moment his body hit the ground, pain instantly consumed his entire body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he quickly lost consciousness, blood flowing endlessly from the corner of his mouth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sean struggled to force a smile, not wanting to scare his girl.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His dropped phone was still open to the last message.\u00a0<\/p>\n
