Chapter 821

Josiah lifted his eyes to look at me. His eyes were calm, too calm that they seemed merciless. He said, "She was NatalieRoberts, Hendrix's cousin. Arianna, | didn't want to hurt you at the beginning, but the human heart is a huge crevice. Once the

devil enters, no matter how you endure it, the consequences will still be fatal.

"So, I've become the sacrificial lamb between the both of you?" | couldn't understand his evil intentions, so | stood there andmerely stared at him, flabbergasted.

He fiddled with the phone in his hands, saying, "You're not really a sacrifice, but just who Hendrix fell in love with. I'm still bestfriends with him. However, for the sake of fairness, what | have lost, he must lose too. If he doesn't experience the pain forhimself, he will never know what losing the love of his life feels like.”

| stared at him. | just couldn't understand Josiah. Kelsey had once mentioned that Uncle Trent had a daughter when he wasyoung, but she had passed away many years ago due to an accident, so he never wanted another child thereafter.

| also knew that Hendrix had a younger cousin, who had been with Josiah for a while when they were young.However, | have never been involved in their past, hence naturally | wouldn't know what their history was like.

| had no idea what kind of emotion he had towards Hendrix, but | knew that for him to reach that stage, his heart must have beencorrupted a long time ago.

He looked at me, his gaze sorrowful with hints of complex emotions mixed inside. He said, "Sometimes, | think that you andNatalie are quite alike. When you handed the clothes back to me in Flora Hill, | saw her in you. Both of you are kind people. Lateron, | wanted to help you leave Hendrix's side so that you could be free, but why didn't you leave him back then?"

He questioned me with a particularly sorrowful gaze. | pressed my lips together, unsure of how to answer him. It seemed that hewasn't looking for an answer from me either.

He looked at me while smiling, as if he was mocking himself and continued, "Actually, if you had left Hendrix back then, perhapslife would be different now. | wouldn't have to hurt you, all the more | wouldn't have met Monique, and you wouldn't have endedup in the current situation with your birth parents.”novelbin

As he spoke, he lifted his eyes towards me and smiled with a hint of malice, "Hence, can't you see how much Hendrix deservesto die? He caused the death of his lover and his family. He wanted to keep you around him in the name of love. No matter howbroken you feel, he always tells you that he'll stay by your side and treat you well, so well that even if you hold a grudge againsthim, you'll never be willing to hurt him."

He smiled, but his eyes were bitterly cold. He continued, "Arianna, I'm actually the same as you. You're his lover, and I'm hisfamily. He hurt you, but he loves you even more. Due to that, you're unwilling to hurt him. You're even willing to hold all the paininside your heart and to continue following him. I'm the same too. He indirectly caused the loss of my beloved and made mesuffer in agony, but he also pulled me back from the pits of hell. | hate him, but | can't bear to hurt him in the slightest bit. Say,aren't we humans complicated?"

The reason why humans are indeed humans, was because all of us had feelings and desires, which didn't exist solely on theirown. They were all intertwined with each other, yet at the same time, they complemented each other.

| stared at him. | couldn't tell if itout of sympat ofp

to kill me so that he suffers?"He smiled at me and nodded. "Yes, that's correct," he said.

| looked at the sulphuric acid on thetable and said, "If | dieshath Gaul!wil tuerrageindt édch other." Pleaseread the original content atNovelDrama.Org.
