After arriving at Deep Water Bay, Aaron rushed into the rain alone.
When he saw the thin figure sitting on the edge of the cliff, Aaron's breath was stagnant and he roared anxiously.
“Beth, what are you doing! Come back to me.” Aaron's voice was soon engulfed by the clatter of rain.
Beth heard his voice, just as she didn't hear it. Her eyelids didn't move, and she was full of indescribable heaviness and despair.
Aaron rushed to her side, and he reached out to buckle her arm, pulling her back from the edge of the cliff when she was unprepared.
“Are you mad? As I said, I will salvage your brother's body. Why are you being crazy here now? Do you want to feed the sharks too in such heavy rain?”
Aaron's facial outline couldn't be seen clearly in the dim sky, but Beth saw those large raindrops falling down from his eyes and eyebrows.
Her face was pale, and her eyes looked hazy and lax in the heavy rain.
“Kill me and throw me into the sea. What rights do you have to say such a thing in front of me? If it weren't for you...” Beth's eyes refocused, and she saw Aaron's face, and she was crazy and excited.
“Aaron! If it weren't you, would Jacky have jumped? It’s your fault! You will only believe in Kathy, and you forced Jacky to death. He is my brother!”
Beth's eyes were splitting. Her weak hands grasped Aaron’s collar firmly and her eyes were red.
“Aaron, you killed him! Your conscience will haunt you for the rest of your life. You killed my brother...”
She cried incoherently. Every time she cried, her mind would replay the scene of Jacky jumping off decisively.
Why wasn't she the one who died?
Why should her brother pay such a price?
She didn't want to…
Jacky was buried at the bottom of the sea, and even the corpse could not be salvaged.
Beth felt heartache whenever she thought about it. She went blank and her body trembled violently.
The more she thought about it, the more she hated it, and her eyes were so red that they were going to bleed.
“It's your fault! Aaron, it’s all because of you! You get out of here. Who wants you to pretend to take care of me? Don't you want me to die? Why are you pretending to care now?”
In the storm, Beth's face was full of rain and tears. She couldn't hold her tears.
All her love for Aaron turned into profound hatred with Jacky's leap.
She hated Aaron who failed to distinguish right from wrong.
She even hated herself being as blind as a bat.
Aaron buckled her arm forcefully and his face was cold. He gritted his teeth and said, “Beth, don't make unfounded counter charges. I didn't mean to force your brother to death, he wanted to jump! After all, weren't you the one who killed him? If you didn't do those things to Kathy…”
Beth didn't want to listen anymore, and her heart was broken. Her eyes were full of hatred.
She slapped Aaron's face with her backhand.
Slap! Beth's hand was numb, and a bright red fingerprint appeared on Aaron’s handsome face.
Aaron's pupil shrank, and he was somehow shocked.
In the next instant, he realized that he had been slapped, and his eyes were cold.
“You hit me?” Aaron’s eyes were malicious, and he pinched her neck directly.
Aaron really wanted to throw her down!
He must have gone mad, or else he wouldn't have stayed up in the middle of the night, braving the storm, and went here to be slapped by this woman!
Kathy could not grudge him. She didn’t want him to leave but he still left quietly.
How dared she hit him!
