Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Eyes Distracted, Without Focus Chapter 1099: Chapter 1099: Eyes Distracted, Without Focus 11:30 p.m., the night deep and still.

Just like four years ago, she waited in exactly the same way.

Only back then, she was drunk and didn’t feel the pain and weariness of waiting like she did now.

Being drunk was better, in a daze and entertaining herself, talking, calling out his name until midnight came.

But now it was different.

Being sober was too torturous.

Sometimes, she stared blankly at the wall; sometimes, at the teacup.

Sometimes she propped up her head; sometimes she buried it in her arms.

The endless wait was like being adrift on a desolate, uninhabited island, unable to find direction or a glimpse of hope.

This feeling was something she never wanted to experience again in her life.

The flowers bloomed, but he never came.

The disappointment was endless.

Jasmine Yale’s eyes were blurred with depth, completely lacking luster as if they mirrored the sky before a thunderstorm, nothing but boundless darkness.

Midnight.

Jasmine Yale stood up, weakly leaning on the table.

She cleared away the unfinished cake, throwing it away.

Shouldering her bag, Jasmine Yale glanced at the hanging clock.

The hour hand pointed to 12, the minute hand had passed 12; in the end, he hadn’t come.

Her heart, instead of feeling the initial pang, was very calm, very calm indeed.

Turning her head, she left the private room.

The night was deep and quiet, with no one around.

The wind blew, causing the hair by her ears to flutter.

She reached out, gently tucking her hair behind her ear, and hailed a cab at the roadside.

Returning to the apartment, she leaned against the wall as she walked home, her heart filled with an indescribable feeling.

Tired, utterly exhausted.

The door opened, and Sweet Kitty crouched neatly on the ground, looking up at Jasmine Yale and meowing.

The little guy was both well-behaved and cute, squatting at the door.

Seeing its adorable little face, Jasmine Yale smiled, shut the door, squatted down, and patted its little head.

“Sweet Kitty, were you waiting for Jasy?”

“Meow–”

“Sweet Kitty, you are the best, I’m sorry for making you wait so long. Why haven’t you slept? Can’t you sleep without seeing Jasy?” Jasmine Yale stroked its little head.

Her skirt trailed on the ground, but Jasmine Yale didn’t feel like standing up at all.

She was really tired.

She simply slumped onto the fluffy carpet and brought Sweet Kitty into her arms.

“Sweet Kitty, Jasy won’t be this foolish again, no more,” she said, leaning against Sweet Kitty with tears sparkling in her eyes, “Do you think Jasy is a fool too, always being deceived…?”

She didn’t want to move, just wanted to hold Sweet Kitty.

All night long she was alone, she really wanted to talk.

She was originally a girl who loved to talk…

“Meow meow…”

“Sweet Kitty, stay with Jasy forever, never leave; Jasy has nothing, nothing…” Jasmine Yale murmured, “Do you think Jasy is silly too? Jasy took half-day off this afternoon and didn’t spend it with you…”

Jasmine Yale’s throat choked up, unable to speak.

Really silly.

To the extreme.

“Meow…”

Sweet Kitty seemed to sense that Jasmine Yale was crying, licked her hand, and snuggled into her embrace to comfort her.

Jasmine Yale hugged Sweet Kitty tighter, thinking, at least she had Sweet Kitty with her…

“Meow…”

Jasmine Yale sat motionless on the floor, her gaze vacant and unfocused.

She just held Sweet Kitty, not wanting to get up.

The night grew deeper, the surroundings very quiet, with not a hint of noise.

Holding Sweet Kitty, Jasmine Yale’s tears flowed down.
