Chapter 71: 71. Sacrifice

Simon listened to Jasper's words from behind the wall in Jasper's room. He only smiled crookedly when he heard Jasper, who was so sure he could change his destiny and Zalina's destiny.

Simon remembers how he used to have the same faith when he was with Eleanor. However, the Almighty has played with his life.

After hearing Jasper's confession, Zalina spent a lot of time daydreaming. It's all hard for her to accept, even though it's real.

"Honey, have you heard about Vanessa?" Mrs. Roston asked Zalina while they were in the garden behind the house.

Zalina was sitting, holding a novel, looking at her mother, who was watering organic vegetables. She didn't know what happened to Vanessa at Chelsea.

"What news, Mom?"

"Wild animals attacked Chelsea and her friend n named Vanessa. You must know her friend Chelsea Stump. They are both critical in the hospital with scratches and lacerations on their bodies."
