How could the dead possibly come back to life, though?
Solo remained where he was, stunned to the spot.
He didn't know how he should explain himself, let alone what he should do... All of this was thanks to his stupidity and self-righteousness!
Regardless, he couldn't reconcile himself with it. He still wanted to grasp something, so he asked, "What can I do now?"
Aaron lowered his eyes. "The only thing you can do now is to leave Captain Brenda. When Marcus died, she was out of it for whole 6 months. It's also for the sake of taking revenge for Marcus that we are so focused on arresting Barbarian now, but your existence will only keep reminding Captain Brenda how tragic Marcus' death was! You being with her will only bring her pain!"
After saying that, Aaron looked down and checked the time. Then, he walked past him and said, "I won't arrest you—because you don't deserve to go to prison for reformation."
With that, Aaron left, leaving behind only Nora and Solo.
Nora looked at Solo. For a while there, she didn't quite know how she should comfort him.
She suddenly understood Brenda's feelings very well. From her perspective, Solo might not be the murdererin fact, he had even been deceived—but how could Brenda possibly bring herself to face him with peace of mind?
During the past few months, Brenda probably didn't just hate Barbarian, but also the person who had hacked her cell phone, right?
If Solo hadn't hacked her phone at that time, they wouldn't have lost contact and Marcus wouldn't have rushed in to save her...
So, how could Brenda possibly bring herself to be with Solo?
Solo didn't do anything wrong.
His only mistake was that he had trusted the wrong person.
Brenda also didn't do anything wrong.
She couldn't let down Marcus. She couldn't get into a relationship with the person who had indirectly caused his death. She couldn't cross that hurdle in her heart.
Therefore, when Nora asked Brenda what was going on, Brenda had told her that there was no misunderstanding. All this time, there had never been any misunderstanding between her and Solo.
Yeah, there certainly wasn't any.
All there was between the two of them was a dead knot!
Marcus' death was like a thorn forever stuck between the two. Even if Brenda chose to be with him, she would probably live in guilt for the rest of her life.
Nora sighed. She patted Solo's shoulder and said, "Why don't you leave the school for now?"
"... Okay."
With his head down, a wilted Solo followed behind Nora and left the school.
