Chapter 546 - 546: The Silent Rain Tonight



Julie’s POV:

Layla slept soundly, and even the deafening thunder did not wake her. Her face was pale, and her brows were tightly furrowed as if she was having a nightmare.

Little did she know that the nightmare was right in front of her.

I screamed in my heart, trying to regain control of my body. But I could only watch helplessly as 1 carried Layla to the bathroom and filled the bathtub with water.

1 took off my clothes and placed Layla in the bathtub. The hot water immediately soaked my legs and feet.

1 finally understood why Jack wanted me to take off my clothes. The water would wet my clothes. He didn’t want to leave any evidence.

My child was so smart, but 1 felt even more despair and sorrow.

At this moment, 1 suddenly understood everything.

“You can’t control Layla. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have used me to kill her,” I said in my heart. “She is such a determined person, her soul is so strong, so making her sleep is your limit. You can’t control her to commit suicide at all. That’s why you need me.”

Jack did not respond to this, but the silence was already an answer.

My prayers had no effect. The goddess closed her eyes, unwilling to see what was happening in this sin-filled manor.

However, someone still opened their eyes.

While 1 was unaware, Layla woke up. She just looked straight at me. When 1 realized it, 1 had already held her hand and cut open her left wrist.

This frightened me, and my heart began to beat wildly. It was as if Jack’s control over me had loosened for a moment.

But in the end, I still couldn’t break free from his control. I could only watch as blood gushed from Layla’s wrist like a puppet. Soon, the water in the bathtub was dyed red.

Layla just looked at me silently, unable to speak. What was the look in her eyes? Anger? Grief? Helplessness?

Doubt? I was shocked and prepared to accept any emotional criticism. I became a murderer. I killed the person who treated me as a friend right after she invited me to her wedding.

1 was still holding that hand tightly, the ring on my middle finger was shining.

That light was like a sharp blade that burned my eyes. 1 didn’t dare to look at it, so 1 looked away and met Layla’s gaze.

To my surprise, she didn’t have any of the emotions 1 had guessed. She just looked at me quietly. Although she couldn’t move under Jack’s control, she still insisted on comforting me with her eyes.

Yes, she was comforting me.

‘I know it’s not your fault.

‘You are just being used.

‘Don’t blame yourself.

‘Don’t blame yourself.’

1 was shocked – she was comforting me! How could she comfort me? I was a murderer! 1 wanted to kill her!

However, everything happened just like that. Layla’s eyes told me everything.

She didn’t blame me.

She knew what had happened, but she still bravely faced everything alone.

“I’m sorry… I’m sorry!” I cried bitterly in my heart, tears falling into the blood like pearls on a broken string. “Goddess, please wake me up. If this is a nightmare, please wake me up! Why me? Why am 1 the chosen one?”

Everything happened strangely in the quiet bathroom. A naked woman was sitting next to the bathtub and crying. The woman in the bathtub had her eyes open, but the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.

Layla’s life was draining away along with her blood. Her pupils were expanding, and her hands were getting colder.

Finally, the end came.

By the time I reacted, it was all over.

Layla was dead, and the liquid in the bathtub was no longer water or her blood. She sank to the bottom of the tank weakly, her long hair floating in the scarlet liquid, silently taking a look at the world for her master.

Her palm in my hand had already lost its last bit of life, and only the ring was still shining. This stone that represented loyalty and love did not understand the preciousness of human life at all. Even though its owner was already dead, it still praised its beauty and value.

1 sat frozen on the spot. Even though I realized that Jack had released his control over me, 1 remained motionless like a statue, as if I were dead.

1 thought I was already dead. My heart, riddled with holes and more fragile than a rotten wall, had been shattered. The pale lime blended into the blood-stained clear water and disappeared without a trace before it could even bubble.

After an unknown amount of time, the rain became heavier and heavier, as if it was going to drown the entire world. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck right beside me. This jolted me awake, and then I realized what everything that had happened before me meant.

“Oh my god…”

I humbly curled up into a ball. The only thing 1 could do was cry meekly.

The temperature in my hand was so low that I shuddered. Layla’s right hand sank into the water, and even the ring disappeared.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… 1 can’t go to your wedding. I’m sorry…”

1 wailed loudly. The thunderstorm outside the window covered everything..
