Chapter 200 - The Castle (2/2)

”If I built a castle for you, how would you feel?” Jackson suddenly asked as he grabbed Halia's hand.

Halia giggled, ”I'm not a composer, what would you paint on the walls?”

Jackson smiled, ”There are plenty of things that I can think of.”

Halia laughed, ”If you built me something like this for me, I would have to spend the next hundred lifetimes repaying you with my love.”

Jackson pulled Halia into his arms and placed a kiss on her forehead, this was exactly the type of answer that he wanted to hear, ”That sounds like a pretty good deal.”

Halia chuckled as she buried her head into the man's embrace, but she had no idea that the man was seriously considering it. After all, who built castles these days?

...

While Halia and Jackson were out enjoying themselves, Mia was sitting with Jaclyn and watching a movie. Every few hours, she would send Jackson a message to update him on his sister's progress. And so far, Jaclyn had been handling the withdrawals pretty well. Perhaps, this was due to the fact that they had intervened early and Jaclyn was quite determined to quit as well.

Jaclyn did not sleep well all night; the headaches were excruciating and she kept getting the chills, but the symptoms of withdrawal were beginning to ease a little. But, of course, as time ticked by, her cravings increased. She could still imagine the euphoric feeling of the drug coursing through her veins and she wanted so badly to experience it again, but Mia had reassured her that the cravings would disappear soon and she would return to normal, so she tried her best to resist it.

As they sat on the bed together watching the television that was mounted to the wall, there was suddenly a knock on the door. It was John.

”Go get some rest, Mia. I'll take over from here,” he said as he helped Mia up. Mia had spent the entire night accompanying Jaclyn and was exhausted.

Due to the fact that she had been sitting on the bed for so long, her legs were numb and she stumbled a little as she stood up, falling into John's arms. The man's chocolate brown eyes twinkled a little as he helped the woman up, but Mia simply thanked him indifferently.

Jaclyn watched the scene in front of her and squealed quietly in excitement. These two looked like a perfect match! And, judging by the look in John's eyes, he was obviously in love with Mia already. Who wouldn't be? She was like an angel.

But, for some reason, Mia did not look interested.

Perhaps...they needed some help from a matchmaker...

With this thought, Jaclyn felt a rush of excitement. She was so excited that she forgot about her cravings for a second.

That was right, she was going to repay these two by matching them with each other!
