Chapter 1617
Felipe was not saying anything. He only watched Cathy’s back quietly.
The outline of her figure had already become blurry due to the tears in his eyes.
‘Cath.
‘You remember.
‘When you said that.
‘This is fine.
‘You can pretend not to know so we can bid farewell here.
‘Adam will be good to you, right?
‘At least, he’ll treat you better than I did.’
He lowered his eyes and chuckled in self-mockery. He realized that happiness was just within arm’s reach but he pushed this happiness away.
While he was immersed in his silence, Felipe heard Cathy saying softly.
“Felipe, I’ll see you never.”
‘I’ll see you never.’
He had never felt how heartbreaking these four words were, but now, he felt it.
He stared fixedly at Cathy and said with a smile on his face, “Alright, I’ll see you never.”
Yes, never.
He would not choose to appeal. The only thing waiting for him would be the death penalty. There would not be another possibility anymore.
After Cathy got Felipe’s answer, she stood quietly and absent-mindedly in the same spot for a while until her daughter shook her hand.
“Mommy, that handsome uncle is crying. He looks like Juan when he’s crying.”
