Chapter 1001
Maisie walked to the room and opened the door. Ryleigh was still looking out the window.
She walked to the side of the bed and sat on the chair. “Ryleigh, Joe’s wake will be in seven days.”
Ryleigh started reacting when Joe was mentioned, and her finger shook.
Maisie held her hand and said, “I know that you blame yourself. I do too. I should’ve been by your side that day. Joe did this to save you, and it will be a pain that you can never recover from for the rest of your life, so you’re feeling guilty about it.”
Ryleigh suddenly spoke. “It was my fault… I did this to him. I should have been the one to die.”
“Ryleigh, nobody is at fault. Did he save you so that you’ll be sad and suffer for the rest of your life?”
Ryleigh’s tears rolled down her face then she shook her head. “But I-”
*Alright, let’s not talk about this.* Maisie wiped her tears away. “You didn’t do anything wrong, and neither did he. He liked you, and even though he used this way to take you away, he still saved you with his life. Some people will sacrifice themselves when they’re in love, sometimes two people fall for each other and live happily ever after. But when three people are involved, someone has to back out even though it’s cruel.”
Maisie looked up at her. ‘In a dangerous situation, do you think he regretted when he pushed you out of harm’s way?” Ryleigh looked around and pressed her lips together. Maisie looked at her. “You want to appreciate this friendship, but once it surpassed the level of friendship. you didn’t know what to do, but he knew that there was no way to turn back. He never regretted saving you because he let you know how he felt.”
Ryleigh’s lips parted but didn’t say anything. Maisie slowly got up. “Keep this love of his in your heart. You have a long life ahead of you. He would regret saving you if he saw you living your life feeling sorry for him.”
