Chapter 617 Jessica Jeopardy

"As ti new friends You met Eric, Erika, and Alice at pre-school and became close friends with them

Then one day, you came home and asked who your father was… and I didn't kno to answer that Obviously, I could tell you the truth— which you would later say to your friends— ould think you were a delusional person

So I decided to lie to you and tell you aboutto the letter I had received soon after I adopted you

I will skip s and fast forward to the end, at how Jessica died I already answered and said I don't know, and I truly don't know But that's not what you think I a to say

MyI don't know anything related to Jessica One day… I just found rave with a wallet in my hand with a family picture in it

I asked around, but no one knew anything Most people had forgotten everything about Jessica So about her, while some didn't even know that Jessica existed"

She looked at Rudy with teary eyes and said, "You were one of theht years old at that time, and when I asked you about Jessica, you replied with, 'who is that?'

I tried to tell you everything about Jessica, but you couldn't even recall how she looked, so I decided to show you her photo Iine my surprise when she had disappeared from all of her pictures

There were no records of her That was heartbreaking, honestly She and you were the only ones in my life, and… after her death, I hoped you would be there to comfort me when I missed her But… how could I expect you to comfort me about a person you don't know the existence of?

That was the hardest, saddest, and darkest ti point And you knohat's ironic? She died on my birthday… on our birthday I had turned twenty, and you had turned eight

That was also the day when I was supposed to read the ninth chapter of the diary Of course, I had no , but I knew I had to read, or the shadow could appear again

I flipped the pages and stopped at the ninth chapter, which was eht ed the future, and I was punished for it Perhaps, that's why Jessica died, so I could suffer

And… I eventually had a breakdown I cried for hours, locked ina sleepover at Eric and Erika's house— and also celebrating your birthday there

I askedhappened However, I kneay to su e—

I decided to read the tenth chapter with my teary eyes and blurry vision I knew if I did that, the shadoould appear again I wanted to ask questions even though I already knew that the shadoould never respond topresent there

Still, I wanted to ask the questions But just as I was about to flip the page to go fro in the ninth chapter I couldn't read because of my vision, so I rubbed my eyes and wiped my tears iain Keep patience and continue what you are best at' It said

I blindly believed those words and put ain… soon"

She saze and inwardly uttered, 'I wasn't planning to reveal Angelica's identity toout her killer, but I can't see mom sad'

"Mom…" Rudy held Rebecca's hand in his hands and squeezed it a little "I… I have so to tell you"
