She knew he loved her, loved her deeply.
Leah really felt sleepy, all her consciousness fading away, she was about to fall asleep.
At this mont, a man’s husky voice slowly whispered by her ear, "Leah, although... I know it’s... a luxury, but please... don’t really forget , my na is... Justin Xavier..."
...
The next morning, Leah opened her eyes and looked around the room blankly, not knowing where she was.
At this mont, the door of the room was pushed open, and a familiar pleasant voice sounded, "Leah, what are you thinking about?"
Leah turned around, and Serena Sterling was there.
The confusion in Leah’s heart was quickly soothed in that instant. No matter how hard the days were, her good friend Serena Sterling stayed by her side.
"Serena, why are you here?"
Serena Sterling walked over and then reached out, "Whoosh", pulling open the curtains of the room. The bright sunlight imdiately poured in, filling the room with warmth, "Leah, I’m here to pick you up. Let’s go."
"Go? Go where?"
"Leah, don’t you want to go to a beautiful place where no one knows you to start over?"
Looking at Serena’s bright eyes, Leah slowly curved her lips. Yes, she wanted to start over.
Leah bathed in sunlight, took a deep breath slowly, and suddenly a sense of unprecedented ease and yearning surged in her heart, but she was uncertain, "Serena, can I really start over?"
Serena nodded firmly, "Of course, Leah, every day from now on will be where your heart desires. The gloom has passed, and it’s sunny days ahead."
Leah’s pale eyes slowly filled with color, and she said softly, "Yes, I believe too."
...
Leah brought nothing with her. She followed Serena Sterling empty-handed to the airport.
This city of Bayside was filled with too many mories. She wanted to take nothing with her, just herself.
Finally, she left the city behind on her journey to sowhere far away.
She was ready for a fresh start.
At the airport terminal, Serena gave Leah so instructions, "Leah, I’m going to get the tickets. Sit here and wait for , don’t go anywhere, alright?"
"I know, Serena. I’m not a three-year-old. Don’t worry, go quickly."
Serena Sterling left.
At that mont, not far from where they were standing, were the tall figures of Hayden Crawford and Justin Xavier. They had arrived.
Hayden looked at Leah and then at Justin, "Do you think she’s really forgotten you?"
Justin’s expression remained unchanged; he pressed his thin lips together lightly, then stepped forward with his long legs.
He walked step by step towards Leah.
Leah held a piece of sour plum candy in her hand, her head lowered as she tried to unwrap the sugar coating.
But with a snap, the candy accidentally dropped to the ground.
Oh no.
My candy!
Leah quickly crouched down to pick it up.
But there was a hand quicker than hers, reaching out to pick up her candy.
Leah looked up and instantly saw Justin Xavier standing in front of her.
Justin gently looked at her, then handed her the candy, "Your candy."
Leah reached out to take the candy and politely thanked him, "Thank you, sir."
Sir...
Justin knew she had forgotten him.
He curved his thin lips gently, "You’re welco."
Just then, Serena Sterling ca over, "Leah."
"Serena, did you get the tickets?"
"Yes, I got them." As she spoke, Serena looked at Justin, "Leah, who is this?"
"I don’t know who this gentleman is. My candy just dropped on the ground, and he helped pick it up. Serena, it’s ti to board, let’s go."
"Alright." Serena Sterling led Leah away.
Justin stood still, watching Leah enter the boarding gate and slowly disappear from his sight.
The girl he had cherished for so many years, he watched her leave his side with his own eyes.
His heart suddenly felt empty.
The most important thing in his life was gone.
At this mont, Hayden walked over. He wanted to say sothing, but in the end, he said nothing and patted Justin on the shoulder.
Justin stood there for a long ti, then silently turned and left.
...
Hayden was worried about Justin. He didn’t know where Justin would go or what he might do, so he asked his secretary to drive and follow Justin’s luxury car.
The secretary respectfully said, "President, I think President Xavier’s emotions are still quite stable and there shouldn’t be any big problems."
Hayden watched Justin’s car ahead; Justin’s emotions were very stable, and he drove steadily, indeed not like he would cause trouble.
But Hayden furrowed his sword-like brows, "I’ve known him for so many years. I know the calr his surface, the more dangerous he is underneath. Let’s follow him anyway."
Hayden was still very concerned about his brother. Justin Xavier had always lived like an orphan without parents, and now Leah was gone too. He was truly alone; without following him, Justin really had no one by his side.
Soon, the secretary stopped the car, and Hayden got out. They had co to the doorstep of the Xavier family mansion.
It turned out that Justin had left the airport and drove to the Xavier family mansion.
What was he doing at the Xavier family mansion?
"President, President Xavier’s car is parked in front, but we don’t know where he himself has gone," said the private secretary.
Hayden also saw Justin’s car but didn’t see Justin.
Where did he go?
At this mont, the private secretary exclaid, "President Xavier! President, look quickly, President Xavier is over there! Oh my god, what’s President Xavier doing!"
Hayden swiftly looked up, and he saw Justin ahead, now holding a torch, the torch blazing with fierce fire.
"President, has President Xavier gone...mad?" the private secretary cried.
Hayden imdiately moved forward, wanting to go toward Justin.
But in the next second, he stopped in his tracks because Justin had already raised his hand and thrown the torch into the Xavier family mansion.
With a whoosh, the flas on the torch imdiately ignited the entire mansion, and soon the Xavier family mansion was engulfed in flas.
Hayden was stunned. He finally understood that Justin had returned from the airport to burn down the Xavier family mansion.
The Xavier family mansion was a pit of sin, and after Leah left, Justin set it on fire, burning everything down.
But the Xavier family was also Justin’s roots. It was the place of his bloodline, and he actually burned it down.
Hayden looked at the current Justin, his handso features illuminated intermittently in the firelight, his expression indifferent and cold as he watched it all turn to ashes. Perhaps the private secretary was right; he had long gone mad.
Justin Xavier loved Leah Thorne, with a love that burned deep into his soul—madly in love.
