Chapter 1526
Violet lowered her gaze and gave off a smile. “ Actually, I didn’t do much. I just taught
them to make paper cranes, stars, and more. Those are what Jacob taught me before.”
The dean approached her and took her hand. “Viv, I’ve always known that you couldn’t
let go of Jacob. Jacob was a good man. It’s a pity that...”
She interrupted the dean abruptly, “Please stop, ma’am, please stop.”
“Viv, you must learn to face the facts.” The dean took a deep breath and could not help
but feel downcast. “ There’s no need for you to put all the blame on yourself.”
At that moment, the already cracked dam in Violet’s heart was being slammed again,
and it crumbled.
She lowered her head and admitted deep down that she was not as strong as she had
been portraying herself throughout all these years. Despite how others misunderstood
and badmouthed her over the years, she had never cared.
The only thing that would shatter her was Jacob.
She could not bear it any longer—the pain that had been buried deep in her heart for a
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtlong time erupted all at once.
The dean hugged her distressingly, and her eyes were bloodshot too. “Viv, you need to
let him off your mind.”
“I can’t do so.” She choked on her own tears and words, shook her head, hugged the dean tightly, and sobbed. “If
even I were to forget about him, no one else in the world would remember him anymore. He’s dead because of
me.”
The dean was heartbroken.
Jacob had grown up in the orphanage. He did not have any background, and the dean was the one who took care
of him when he was a child.
To her, Jacob was like her biological son.
Jacob was very obedient and sensible. He was also a happy-go-lucky boy who loved to laugh and treated others
gently.
He had been kind all his life, but unfortunately, his relationship with violet did not end well.
Aaron believed an orphan was not worthy of his daughter, so he secretly hindered their relationship and even used
his daughter’s life, planning a kidnapping incident.
He originally wanted to use this event, thinking that he would be able to force Jacob into revealing his true colors.
As long as Jacob was afraid of dying and left Violet behind, Violet would definitely give up on him.
Alas, he had underestimated Jacob’s feelings for Violet, and the kidnapping incident ended up being a catastrophe.
The kidnappers Aaron had hired did not keep their promises and asked for a larger amount of ransom, but Aaron
did not agree.
Thus, they put on their game face and threatened to kill Violet. However, Jacob blocked a bullet for violet and died
right under her nose.
The dean patted Violet’s back lightly, and Violet could not stop crying. The pain and grievances that had been
buried underneath her disguise gushed out all at once.
The dean raised her head when she was about to console Violet and saw Jackie standing outside the door.
No one knew how long he had been there—he only entered the room after he was discovered.
The dean reminded Violet of something, and Violet stopped crying, looked back at Jackie, and wiped away her tears
immediately, “what are you doing here?”
“Your mother thought you had gone missing.” Jackie glanced at the children sitting at the table, folding paper
cranes, and those children stared at him curiously.
He paused for a few seconds, and his tone softened. “ Grandpa asked me to come out
and search for you.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmViolet sighed. “I’ll go back by myself as soon as I’ve had enough fun.”
She then went into the room to calm herself down.
The dean naturally knew who Jackie was. “Young Master Clifford, Viv has made you
worry. I’ll apologize to you on her behalf.”
During normal times, Jackie would not have accepted the apology.
Whenever someone did something wrong and needed someone else to apologize on
her behalf, he would only think that the person was not accountable and would not
admit her mistake.
But seeing her in the orphanage, shedding her tough disguise for the first time, and
crying heartbrokenly, it was really inappropriate for him to say any hurtful words at
that moment.
Thus, he responded with a faint hum. “It’s okay.”
He then turned around, looked at those children, and asked after a long time, “Does
she come to the orphanage often?”
The dean paused for a split second and then replied slowly, “Yes, Viv comes here
occasionally whenever she’s free, and she’ll stay with the children for quite some time.
The children here like her very much too.”
