After the plane landed, Rita helped Esmeralda find a place to rest, and Zion asked someone to prepare something to eat.
It didn't take long for the thunder and lightning, and finally it rained.
The sound of the rain was very loud, which made people upset.
Rita looked outside and frowned. No one knew what she was thinking.
Zion suddenly said to Esmeralda, "Do you want to go there with me?"
"Ah?"
It was the first time that Esmeralda had been invited by Zion as a different person from her own brother. She could not help but be stunned.
Rita just glanced at Zion and didn't say anything.
Esmeralda wasn't an idiot. She naturally guessed that Zion wanted to leave some space for Rita. She nodded and got up.
Zion asked his men to accompany Esmeralda, and then he took the lead in walking outside.
Not long after they left, Rita saw Mylo.
Her nose suddenly twitched. She stepped forward, hugged Mylo tightly, and whispered, "Mylo, I feel a little upset."
"Do you want to see him?"
Mylo gently caressed Rita's back, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
If possible, he really didn't want to see the woman he liked feel upset for another man, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't even blame her.
Hearing Mylo's words, Rita couldn't help but raise her head and glance at him.
"What did you say? You don't care?"
"I care, but I won't fight for anything with a dying man. Let's go and see him. He's dying."
Mylo's words caused Rita's eyes to widen.
"Who? Jake? How could he..."
"In the past few years, he has always been in poor health. Because of the separation of personality, he has been suffering. For your illness, he has been holding on and waiting for the result of the research. Now that you have recovered, his mission has been completed. In fact, in these days, his other personality has been restored. The person sitting next to you at night is Jake."
Mylo's words stunned Rita.
He was back?
Was that why Jake, who had been by her side for the past few nights, was not so threatening?
"Why didn't he tell me earlier?"
"Why should he tell you? His body has long been exhausted over the years. He knows better than anyone that the recovery of his first personality means that he is about to fail. He can't watch himself die, so he chose to take medicine. Rita, sorry, I can't save him."
Mylo didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment, but he was really depressed.
Rita clenched her hands tightly and felt uncomfortable. However, she saw the complicated emotions in Mylo's eyes. She gently hugged him and whispered, "The person I love is you, Mylo. But I'm also grateful to him. Please accompany me to send him off."
Mylo shook his head and said, "Rita, the person I want to see the most is you. I feel uncomfortable in my heart. After all, my woman has to remember another man's kindness in this life. He did what I failed to do for you. I am jealous and sad, but I understand more clearly that the person who will accompany you for the rest of my life is me. He only wants to see you for the last time, so I won't participate."
As he spoke, Mylo's hand moved away. He gently pointed to the room beside him and said in a low voice, "Go in. He's inside. I'll wait for you outside."
Looking at Mylo's uncomfortable expression, Rita actually felt bad as well, but she didn't say anything else. She took a deep breath and went to the room.
There was only one bed in the room.
Jake was lying on the bed, looking a little lonely.
Rita's eyes were a little bitter, and she walked over step by step.
Jake was asleep.
If it weren't for his slight breathing, Rita would have thought that he was already gone.
