Juanita listened with shock in her heart.
Joyce left Karl and jumped off the cliff alone?
Suddenly, her hand was squeezed tighter by him.
His voice rose in excitement.
"You lied to me! Why did you lie to me and get me out of the car! I found that place for you, and you will be safe hiding there.”
“You actually dumped me and drove off on your own.”
“You know how hopeless I felt. Ricky was a desperate man, and you went to deal with him alone. You know how worried I was? I'm a detective and fighting criminals is my job. How can you leave me because I got shot?”
“Fortunately, fortunately, you came back ... otherwise, how do you think I should face myself ..."
Juanita listened as he said and she was already in tears.
She really didn't expect that Joyce was going to save Karl and face Ricky alone.
She could understand the decision Joyce made at the time. The situation must have been critical, Karl was shot first, and if he didn't get medical treatment in time and lost too much blood, she was afraid she would never see him again.
Joyce never wanted to be a burden, so she would lie to Karl and went alone to take all the risk.
It turned out that it was Joyce who saved Karl's life.
A different emotion surged within her heart, and sourness soaked through her limbs.
She knew Karl had a crush on Joyce, and he kept himself restrained from expressing it, since he did not want to cause Joyce any trouble.
She thought that as long as she was patient enough, kept him around and waited for him, one day he would feel her presence.
But right now, even his life was given by Joyce.
She understood that he just could never forget Joyce all his lifetime.
"Joyce, Joyce ... is that you?" Karl murmured in his sleep, took Juanita's hand and, with a sudden pull, took her into his arms.
Juanita was caught off guard and fell into his arms.
And just as she raised her head, their lips were once again seamlessly pressed together.
