Seeing Abigail lose her temper, Anson instantly felt wronged for Victor.
"Abby, don't be angry. Victor didn't want to have an accident, and Eden doesn't want to get sick, either. Take it slow. She will get better day by day."
Abigail frowned tightly. No matter what, Eden was ill. She was very sad and very unhappy.
Victor pursed his thin lips and did not speak. This was indeed his fault. Eden suffered from depression because of him.
He didn't want to shirk responsibility, and he only wanted Eden to recover soon.
If he had not woken up earlier, he didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would be.
At that time, Eden really couldn't hold on anymore.
Victor's heart hurt, as if it was being pounded by a hammer from time to time.
"Phew..." Abigail exhaled with grief, and she still looked very upset. She looked at Victor again and said in a resentful and displeased tone, "Victor, don't be mad at me. I'm just worried about Eden. She and I have been best friends for eight years, and we're as close as biological sisters. I watched her become so mature and strong."
"I know how much she has suffered these years. After she married you, I thought she would live a happier life, but she still got hurt all the time. Just now, I spoke without thinking because I was too sad. No one wants such a thing to happen. In the future, please protect yourself well."
Victor's face suddenly tensed, and he still did not speak.
The atmosphere was a little stiff. Anson knew Victor well. He knew that Victor was angry with himself because he failed to protect Eden.
"Victor, don't blame yourself too much. There is something inevitable in this world. In the future, take good care of Eden. She will soon get better. Slight depression can be cured soon."
Anson didn't even notice that there was something wrong with Eden. Abby was indeed Eden's best friend. She had been caring about Eden all the time.
"I see." Victor nodded and lowered his head more.
Abigail looked at him quite helplessly.
"Anson, the rain has eased off. Let's go back first. I have to go to see Graciella. I'll come back to accompany Eden later."
"Okay!" Anson stood up and took her hand. After saying goodbye to Victor, they left together.
Victor wiped his face hard and turned back to the room to accompany Eden.
......
After Jasper walked out of the apartment, it began to rain heavily outside. He did not hide and let the heavy rain wet him.
Last night, he drank a lot because he knew Eden was ill. He was sad, so he went to drink alone after work.
Whenever he knew that she was unhappy or sad, his heart would ache if he could not stay by her side.
He could not share her happiness with her, but he could share her sorrow with her.
He had thought about it, and he had warned himself that he should give up. She had got married with Victor who could take care of her and make her happy for a lifetime.
He had told himself not to be so stubborn. He would get his happiness only when she lived a good life.
He had persuaded himself to let go of his love countless times, but he hesitated every time.
Standing in the rain, Jasper looked up at the falling rain in the sky. He blinked his eyes, and his long eyelashes were stained with rain. His grief was etched into every line of his face. In the heavy rain, his face looked colder and his eyes turned more apathetic and mournful.
"Eden, in the future, I'm no longer qualified to love you. I don't deserve to accompany you and comfort you anymore." He was unwilling to accept the fact, and his low voice was filled with intense vexation.
In the past eight years, he had been trying to become a better man. He wanted to give her a solid shoulder to rely on and protect her forever.
He wanted to let her be with him and make her feel happy. However, before he could live up to his ideal of himself, she had got married with another man.
At that time, he was unwilling to accept the fact that they were just friends. But one day, he suddenly found that Victor loved her more than he did.
He had thought about it carefully for many nights and had been in pain for many days before he decided to give up.
He could wish her happiness.
Since then, he never added sugar to his coffee. The taste of the coffee was just like the bitterness in his heart. It reminded him that he was alive.
A lonely person would always remember the most important person in his life. Whenever he thought about Eden, his heart was filled with expectation. At night, he would recall the wonderful time they had spent together over and over again and tried to relieve the loneliness in his heart.
"Ah..." Jasper screamed in pain and ran wildly in the heavy rain.
He thought that happiness was very simple, and he thought that he would be with her. They would look at each other with affectionate eyes and spend the rest of their lives together, and they would miss each other when they were apart.
But he was wrong. They were not destined to be together. In the end, she left him.
......
Jasper was sick, and Eden knew about it three days later.
Abigail went to take care of Jasper. When she came back from Jasper's house, she came to Eden specially and told her the news.
Jasper had been racked by high fever for three days, and he was half asleep.
