Chapter 1127

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.

Now that Macy was not here anymore, Jackson was the only childhood friend I had. Hence, I was

reluctant to let go of our friendship.

I was about to persuade him when Lydia, who was listening to our conversation, interrupted with a

gentle voice, “Don’t worry. I’ll remind him to come to your place when he’s free.”

She was gentle and dazzlingly beautiful, and I had to admit that she and Jackson were indeed a perfect

match. Meanwhile, Jackson didn’t voice his objection after hearing that, which meant that he agreed to

it.

Suddenly, I felt that my fixation with mending our friendship seemed to have faded away.

I felt that Jackson was right. After all, we should let bygones be bygones. At least, there was now a

woman who could tame Jackson’s temperament so that he didn’t have a fallout with me.

Feeling grateful for Lydia’s help, I flashed her a smile and replied, “Thank you, Lydia.”

I had always regarded Jackson as an older brother, for he was half a year older than me, and now, it

was only right that I treated his wife, Lydia, with the respect she deserved.

“Don’t mention it,” Lydia replied politely with a faint smile on her face.

Shortly afterward, I thought about getting their address since they were still staying in the country. I

asked, “Is your clinic in J City as well?”

But before I could finish my sentence, Jackson had turned around to play with Summer as if he

deliberately wanted to avoid me. Fortunately, Lydia saved me from embarrassment as she explained

patiently, “It’s in K City. Jackson moved his clinic there. He said that it’s more convenient for us to take

care of my parents.”

I nodded in agreement, recalling that Jackson had always been conscientious since he was young.

Therefore, it made sense that Jackson took care of his wife’s family too.

Jackson’s phone rang as soon as Lydia finished. After picking up the call, he went outside to talk. A

minute later, he came back and excused themselves due to some urgent matters.

It wasn’t until they vanished from sight that I recalled that I hadn’t asked for their address. Hence, I

immediately took out my phone to send a message to Jackson via WhatsApp.

When I couldn’t see Jackson’s profile photo anymore, a shiver ran down my spine.

He had blocked me.

Holding onto the last hope, I tried sending an emoji to him.

However, after quite some time, it only showed one checkmark and not the second one.

Staring at the chat room, I felt my warmth slowly fading away while my body shivered uncontrollably.

How is it possible?

To make matters worse, I didn’t even know when it happened.

“What’s wrong, Letty?” I was jolted out of my thoughts when I heard Rose’s voice. Then, I tried my best

to stay calm and replied, “Nothing.”
