Chapter 251
Jackson helped Taya into the car first before he got
1. in.
Ignoring his injuries, he picked up a clean towel and wiped Taya's wet hair.
His movements were very gentle for fear of hurting
her. However, his expression changed when his gaze landed on her exposed skin.
Taya, whom he had loved and cared for all his life,
had been bullied so hard by that bastard...
This was not the first time. A full five years was enough to make Jackson regret a lifetime.
Seeing that Jackson was staring at her neck in a daze, Taya subconsciously covered her skin and wrapped her coat tighter around her.
Jackson hurriedly explained, "Taya, that's not what I
meant. I just felt that I was too useless to make you
hurt..."
Taya shook her head and said, "It's not his fault. I
volunteered."
How could she blame Griffon when she signed the
agreement herself?
Jackson's heart trembled for a moment. Her
willingness was harder for him to accept than if she
had been forced.
Instead of answering, he continued to dry her hair with a dry towel.
Looking at him gently taking care of her, Taya
couldn't bear it, but there were some things that she had to make clear.
"Silas, I have something to tell you..."
"Let's talk about it when we get back, okay?"
She was interrupted by Jackson as soon as she opened her mouth.
He seemed to have noticed something and didn't
want to listen to her.
Seeing that his forehead was still wrapped in gauze, Taya put down what she wanted to say first.
Jackson wanted to take her back to his villa, but Taya didn't want to. She wanted to go back to Harper's.
That small home gave her a sense of security. She
could sleep better there.
Jackson had no choice but to take her back to her home, but he was unwilling to go in because he was afraid that Taya would tell him something after going inside. Seeing this, Taya was not hurrying to get out of the car. "Silas, some things need to be made clear."
She didn't have much time left. This injury had
worsened her condition. If it weren't for the special medicine that Stella gave her, she might not have
had the strength to say much to him right now. While she still had some strength left, she wanted to ensure she said everything she needed to say.
"Don't take what I said in Griffon's villa to heart. I said that just to leave safely."
She was referring to when she said, "Now that Silas is back, the misunderstanding has been resolved. I want to go back to him and be with him".
Jackson was smart enough to understand what she was talking about but couldn't accept it. "Why?"
She had already rejected Griffon, so why wasn't she willing to return to him? Was she still blaming him?
Taya looked at him apologetically. "I'm sorry, Silas. It's my fault. I betrayed you first."
A trace of frustration appeared on Jackson's handsome face. "You didn't betray me. You sold
yourself for me. And later, you did it because of
anger..."
The corners of Taya's mouth curled up slightly. "I was indeed angry at first, but later I was willing to do so."
Her light-hearted words made Jackson's breath catch.
It was as if a big hand was strangling his heart, making him unable to breathe.
"You...fell in love with him?"
This question almost took Jackson's breath away.
His eyes, which had finally recovered their original color, gradually turned red.
He looked at Taya with his bloodshot eyes, pleading with her.
He seemed to be begging her to deny it. However, no matter how reluctant Taya was to hurt him, she could
only harden her heart now.
"Yes, I've fallen in love with him..."
She couldn't say if she loved Griffon like she loved
Silas before or if she loved Griffon more than she
loved Silas.
