Chapter 231
Mariela sighed helplessly when she saw him in this state.
She rubbed her temples and wearily said, “Jaime, what’s the meaning of this? I am really tired, just let me be.”
Jaime’s eyes were bloodshot, and his voice choked, “I’m sorry, Mariela, I couldn’t do it.”
Mariela frowned slightly, didn’t say anything, just gave him a cold glance and prepared to close the door.
Jaime panicked and suddenly reached out to block.
His hand got stuck in the door crack.
Mariela didn’t react in time. When she closed the door with a little force, Jaime’s hand got caught in it, causing him to gasp in pain.
Mariela’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, then returned to indifference.“Jaime, you go.”
After speaking, Mariela wanted to close the door again.
Lennon reached out and pushed Jaime away, preventing him from using his hand to jam the door again.
The door was closed.
The corridor quieted down again.
Outside the door.
Jaime closed his eyes in pain.
Tears silently slid down.
That night was a terrifying nightmare for him.
From then on, this night became his nightmare, never allowing him to find peace.
Jaime stood in the same spot for a long, long time.
The light in the room went out a long time ago.
The night was so quiet that no sound could be heard anymore.
Jaime dragged his numb body, step by step, into the elevator, resembling a walking corpse.
Press the button.
Go downstairs.
Tonight was a cold night.
The wind and snow were raging outside.
Because there was heating in the room, Jaime only wore a thin shirt.
He was like a lost soul, walking alone with his head down in the snowstorm, without a direction, without a destination.
His heart seemed to have a big hole in it, and cold wind was blowing through it.
The bone–chilling cold wind outside couldn’t compare to the one–thousandth of the icy chill in his heart.
Jaime felt that on this night, all the snow in the world had fallen on his heart.
The next morning, Mariela was awakened by a phone call.
She groggily pressed the answer button, her voice filled with heavy drowsiness, “Hello? Who is it?”
“Mariela, come to the hospital and see Jay quickly,” came Efrain’s urgent and worried voice over the phone, “Jay almost died, you know?”

Mariela was extremely annoyed when she heard Jaime’s name. She had already been exhausted from being bothered last night, and she hadn’t even had enough sleep before being awakened again, only to find out it was Jaime.
Mariela was very annoyed and her temper was flaring. She snapped, “If he’s dead, just take care of his body and let me know when the funeral is. Out of respect for our past relationship, I can give his mother a big sum of money.”
