Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 596

“Mr. York is also an ordinary man, so don’t make things difficult for him.” Jefferson smiled faintly. The lights in his eyes gradually dimmed as his voice softened. “I won’t be able to live much longer even without suffering these two gunshots.”

“I beg you…” Rayna’s hot tears dripped onto the back of his hand. “Please don’t be so cruel…”

“Be good. Stop crying.” Jefferson wiped away her tears with much difficulty. “I won’t leave. I’ll always stay by your side.”

She didn’t say a word.

Jefferson felt weak all over and extremely sleepy. He realized it was about time for him to go.

He mustered the last of his energy to look up at Jeremy, who was standing behind Rayna. At the sight of the child in Jeremy’s arms, Jefferson flashed a contented smile.

He uttered softly, “Xareni Hamilton. Will you let Reni take my family name?”

Rayna nodded. “Okay. I’ll name her Xareni Hamilton.”

“Thank you…” Regardless of how unwilling he was to leave, Jefferson took a final glance at Rayna before slowly shutting his eyes.

When he closed his eyes, he saw a man chasing after a streak of light in the dark. That man stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to reach the beam of light, it disappeared.

Ultimately, he failed to grab hold of the light, and his world remained pitch-black.

Rayna’s lips shuddered as she witnessed Jefferson’s hands falling to the snowy ground. “Jefferson? Jefferson?”

No matter how many times she called his name, he wouldn’t respond. He lay peacefully in her embrace as if he was sound asleep.

Rayna lowered her head and bawled. She held him tightly while resting her forehead against his shoulder.

Curtis slowly walked over. His lips twitched when he saw Rayna kneeling on the ground, crying her eyes out, and Jefferson lying in her arms. Guilt surged within him at that instant.
