Chapter 107: Was it her strenght?

That day it was not his name she had called for. The words that escaped her lips shattered his heart.

"David Anderson..."

Weeks of waiting and it was not his name but David Anderson that she remembered.

Sebastian Crowne knew it was not her fault. He knew that if there was someone who should be blamed for this, it was only him. His affection for her attracted the ire of his enemies. But the fact couldn’t do anything to alleviate the pain in his heart. It only made the suffocation worse.

Sebastian Crowne’s heart was in chaos. A strong possessiveness clouded his heart. He was crazy for her. The thought of letting go of her suffocated him. That day he had wanted to barge into the room and hug her tightly. He would never let her leave. He wanted to make her his—willingly... or unwillingly. Even if she hated him for that, he didn’t want to part with her. He wanted to keep her by his side ever and forever. No matter what the cost.

He wanted to eradicate that David Anderson from her heart and mind.

His eyes were cold as he looked at her. His face was expressionless. He was losing himself and going to make a mistake he would regret for the rest of his life. He knew it, but he couldn’t stop himself. But then he caught the look on the face of that docile woman who lay weakly on the bed, and he paused. Suddenly, his eyes softened a bit. "How can I bear to hurt you?" The Jazmine Harrison at that time didn’t even recall who he was. She was obsessed with David Anderson. Sebastian Crowne knew how strong-minded Jazmine Harrison was. It would be impossible to make her yield. It would cause endless suffering for him and for her.

He had no choice but to let her go. Because true love wasn’t about taking. It was about giving.

"Even if you remember who I am, you will not forgive me for failing to keep my promise." Sebastian Crowne knew Jazmine Harrison better than anyone. She would never forgive him for being unable to keep Sarah Blackwood safe.

Jazmine Harrison admired Sarah Blackwood. Sarah Blackwood had always been a nice person. A warm and affectionate one who would sacrifice anything for her friends. In fact, it was Sarah Blackwood who had brought a broken heart Jazmine Harrison to Hong Kong. She was the one who had introduced her to Sebastian Crowne.

In the beginning, he used to think she was a weak woman. Sebastian Crowne had been very cold to Jazmine Harrison in their first meeting. He had even said something mean to her and made her cry. He looked down upon her. It was not until Sarah Blackwood had told him her story that he realized he had mistaken a jade for a stone. That night he had gone to apologize to her. He had seen her at the edge of the terrace. His eyes widened in fear.

Sharp winds were blowing at night. Her long hair fluttered in the air and created an enchanting view. Her eyes looked hazy. She was lost in the past, not even aware of where she was headed. Her slow steps were small but determined. Sebastian Crowne had given her a couple of calls, confused and wondering what she was up to. But it looked like she wasn’t listening to him—or rather his voice couldn’t reach her ears.

When he realized she wasn’t stopping, he didn’t wait to rush to her. They were far. Looking at the distance, he had felt like he wouldn’t make it. And for some reason, it scared him. A reason more than normal human compassion. Only at the last moment, he reached out his arms and wrapped them around her slender waist. Her body had just loosened when he secured her waist and pulled her to him. He had hugged her tightly until she fell asleep in his arms.

"So naive. Why must you end your life for someone who doesn’t deserve it?"

Jazmine Harrison had melted in his arms and gradually lost her consciousness. Sebastian Crowne still remembered the cold warmth of her body against his chest in the chilly night. "You have been so strong until now. Why give up now?" he had whispered, hugging her slowly.

As time passed, he took the liberty to look after her. He made her warm up to him. It had been difficult for a guy like him who hadn’t had any experience with women before. But he made it work. The truth was, he had already fallen for her the day he had seen her standing at the edge of the terrace.

Sarah Blackwood grew distant from them, noticing his excess favor toward Jazmine Harrison. Jazmine Harrison didn’t notice it. Jazmine Harrison of that time was naive, unlike the cunning fox of the present. But Sebastian Crowne did. The truth was, it didn’t matter. He had always seen Sarah Blackwood as a sister. Even if he was aware of her feelings, he didn’t want to hurt her. But his feelings for Jazmine Harrison were true. And he could never abandon her.

"Why must you do it?" Before the day Sebastian Crowne had proposed to Jazmine Harrison, Sarah Blackwood had confronted him. With tears in her eyes, she couldn’t ignore Sebastian Crowne’s affection for Jazmine Harrison anymore. It hurt her. "I have loved you since the day I knew what love was. Whatever I have done in my life, it had been for you. I have always wanted to become an ideal woman in your eyes."

"It is not your fault, Sarah Blackwood." Sebastian Crowne couldn’t be harsh with her. He had known her since childhood. Besides, she was important to his Jazmine Harrison. "Feelings can’t be forced. It was Jazmine Harrison I fell for. I have always admired you—but as a sister."

"Why!" Sarah Blackwood was already sobbing badly. She didn’t care about anything anymore. "What is it in her that is not in me?"

Sebastian Crowne was silent for a moment. He glanced outside, and with a smile, he said, "I used to think it was her strength that made me fall for her. But it is not quite right."
