When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Jackson was taken aback by her straightforwardness. A moment later, he recollected himself and replied, “You’re right. After all, it’s just a matter of individual choice. No one is nobler than the other.”

Feeling that he was insinuating something, I was rendered speechless. Besides, I found it difficult to inquire where he had been in front of Rose and Lydia. What happened?

Feeling conflicted, I could only muster up a single commonplace out of the thousand in my head. “Come and have dinner at my place when you’re free. After all, Summer has been missing you.”

“We’ll see,” Jackson rejected indirectly. “Since I’ve just opened my new clinic, many of my patients will be coming for follow-up examinations. So, I’m quite busy and don’t really have time.”

It was obvious that he wanted to keep a distance from me.

Besides resenting me for ignoring him in the past, Jackson probably thought I was also responsible for Macy’s death.
