True Love Waits novel Chapter 692

"Will do. Joslyn, thank you for keeping me company all these days. I'm all right now. Please spend more time with your son," Blair reminded. A few days back, Blair and the Li family had no choice but to leave D City after the rescue operation had been called off. Joslyn worried that Blair would do something impulsive, so she had stayed with her friend all day long ever since she had come back home.

"I know. Mom said he was very well-behaved while I was gone." Joslyn realized how lucky she was in her life. Although Hartwell was as busy as Wesley used to be and wasn't often home, at least, she knew that he loved her. She never had to suffer much in the matters of love. At that thought, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Blair.

Blair admired Joslyn very much too. How she wished she could have had a loving son with Wesley! But she could never have that anymore—not for the rest of her life.

'Maybe in my next life...' she thought to herself.

"I'm really happy for you, Joslyn. You're lucky to have married into the Ji family. They are all kind people. Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt and my two cousins. They treated me so well after my parents passed away. I owe them a lot. But I seldom expressed my gratitude to them. I was thinking I could pay them back once I was more successful, but..." 'I won't have that chance anymore either...'

Joslyn sensed that something wasn't right about her. She became nervous and asked, "Blair, are you okay?"

"Why? I'm all right. Don't be so scared, Joslyn." Blair chuckled.

'Was I just overthinking?' Joslyn wondered. She comforted herself thinking that maybe she had been worrying about Blair too much. Blair was in a terrible place right now, but she was a strong girl.

"Okay then. I'm relieved to know that."

"Tomorrow is his funeral," Blair said quietly. She wanted to see him.

"Blair, I'll always be by your side. Please stay strong..." Joslyn didn't know how to comfort her. Sometimes words were just too powerless.

Blair smiled. "I will. So many people still live on even after losing their loved ones." It was just that their world would be different and colorless. And they might never be truly happy ever again.

Blair had lost her parents a few years ago, and now Wesley was gone too. Without them, she couldn't lead a happy life.

"I'm glad that you think that way," Joslyn said warmly.

"Mm hmm. Sleep tight, Joslyn. I'm going to bed too." Blair began to feel sleepy. Her eyelids were drooping.

In her hazy state, she imagined Wesley's figure standing in front of her.

'Wesley, did you come to pick me up?

Wait for me. Don't leave yet. I'll come to you soon.

I'll fall in love with you all over again in my next life. I promise I won't easily get jealous and throw a tantrum. Poor guy, you shouldered too many responsibilities in this life. What is it that they say—with great power, comes great responsibilities. I understand you now. But it's too late...' The line was still connected, but Blair's mind had already begun to drift off.

"Blair, we'll say goodbye to Mr. Li together tomorrow."

Joslyn's voice snapped her back to reality. "Hmm," she responded quietly. But she didn't want to say goodbye to Wesley; she wanted to leave with him.

She was engulfed by Wesley's aura here. She felt safe and wasn't afraid of anything.

The call ended.

As soon as Blair hung up, the phone slipped off her hand, and she slowly closed her eyes…

Before she lost consciousness, she muttered to herself, "Wesley, I'm coming to you."

Meanwhile, Joslyn started to feel uneasy; an ominous feeling lingered in her heart. The more she thought about what Blair had said on the phone, the more worried she became. A moment later, she saw Hartwell walk into the room. "Honey, I want to go keep Blair company. I'm worried about her."

Hartwell thought about it. Then, he nodded. "I'll call her now."

He dialed Blair's number. But the call didn't go through.

Joslyn got more anxious. Hartwell comforted her, "Maybe she's in the bathroom. Don't be scared. I'll call her again after a few minutes."

She hastily sat up on the bed and screamed, "No! No! Something is wrong with Blair. I'm sure! Honey, she's in danger!"

Hartwell tensed up too. As Blair's best friend, Joslyn understood her the most. He believed his wife's gut feeling. Without wasting another second, he immediately had their driver take them to Blair's dormitory.
