Chapter 37 You Should See the Outside World
Nicholas wondered what Avery had experienced in the past few days, but it seemed like her strong will to survive had vanished. Her eyes no longer held a desire for life or a longing for death.
They were like a calm lake without a ripple.
"Is it because of him? Did he hurt your hand?"
Avery shook her head. "No."
"But it still has something to do with him, right? The genius Avery I know shouldn't be like this."
A hint of pity crossed Nicholas' calm face as he looked at the flying snowflakes outside the window. He sighed. "Perhaps he truly loved you in that winter, but in this winter, he has chosen someone else. You shouldn't dwell on the past."
In others' eyes, Avery seemed to have lost herself in love, but they didn't know that the grudges and grievances between Avery and Jacob were far from over.
Avery knew deep down in her heart that Jacob no longer loved her. Even if he let go of the hatred and stopped taking revenge on her, the death of Grace would haunt him and plunge him into misery for the rest of his life.
Now that he had made his choice to marry Layla, Avery decided to use her remaining time to deal with their entanglement. In that case, if Martin ever woke up, Jacob wouldn't trouble him anymore.
This decision was good for everyone.
When Nicholas looked at Avery again, there was less fragility in her eyes. Instead, there was a rare determination.
He sighed, "Since you've made up your mind, I can do nothing about it. Avery, you should know the consequences of removing the PORT. Are you sure you won't regret it?"
It seemed that he liked to ask her this question all the time. Avery smiled and responded, "I won't."
