Chapter 1265 Regaining Consciousness
“No, impossible! There’s no way Jared is dead!” Millie burst into tears and shook Jared’s body violently. “Jared, wake up! Wake up now!” she cried pitifully. Alas, no matter how hard Millie shook Jared’s body, he didn’t open his eyes and remained unconscious.
Cecilia bit her lip forcefully. Despair overwhelmed her, and she fought back the urge to cry. However, as the leader of Crimson Palace, she couldn’t cry in front of the members.
She ordered someone to bring Jared’s body into Crimson Palace. “Bring Mr. Chance into Crimson Palace!” After Jared’s body was brought to Cecilia’s yard, she dismissed everyone else.
Cecilia fed Millie a pill to calm her down and told her to get some rest.
She got a pail of water and started wiping Jared’s body clean alone.
Tears trickled down Cecilia’s cheeks. She only got to know Jared a while ago but knew she was hopelessly in love with him.
“Don’t worry. I shall make sure you are clean before you leave,” Cecilia mumbled as she wiped his body clean.
Meanwhile, Jared’s mind was in a fog.
He wanted to open his eyes and regain control of his own body, but he couldn’t do so.
It felt as though his consciousness was separated from his body.
Am I dead?
All Jared could see was fog, nothing else. He wasn’t sure if he was still alive.
After what seemed like forever, Cecilia finally wiped Jared’s body clean.
Despite being a virgin, she put her pride and embarrassment aside to clean Jared’s body.
After completing the deed, Cecilia remained seated beside Jared silently.
She sat there like a statue until midnight.
The elders tried to persuade her to get some rest, but she refused to leave her spot.
Suddenly, the gentle moonlight shone on Jared accompanied by a breeze.
Jared’s elixir field was recovering, but that crushed golden elixir couldn’t gather together. Instead, it changed its shape until it formed a golden figure that stood above Jared’s elixir field.
Boom!
Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in front of Jared.
He opened his eyes and realized the moon was shining on him.
Jared could barely hide his surprise. He didn’t know how much time had passed since he lost consciousness. Turning around, he realized Cecilia was sitting beside him.
Her eyes were red, so it was apparent she had wept for a long while.
Cecilia seemed in a daze as she muttered, “After you leave, I might not fall for another man in my lifetime. You’re the only man who I fell in love with. You’re also the only man who helped me sincerely without lusting after my body. Tomorrow, I’ll give you a grand funeral and bury you in Crimson Palace. Don’t worry. I’ll visit you every day with flowers…”
She didn’t even realize Jared’s eyes were wide open.
Glancing at her, Jared flashed a smile and asked, “If you love me this much, why are you planning on burying me alive?”
After hearing Cecilia’s mumble, he realized everyone thought he was dead.
In fact, Jared also thought he was beyond dead. He didn’t expect to come back to life again.
Cecilia jumped up from her chair in shock when she heard Jared’s voice.
As Jared was smiling at her, she gaped incredulously.
It took her a while to regain her composure and leaped into his arms.
