Sun Yeong struggled hard. Finally, she opened her eyes and looked at her for a long while. Her frail hand then trembled as it reached for Jennie by her side, and her breathing became a little urgent. She did not even have the energy to say a word as she was still panting heavily.
When Jennie saw that hand reaching for her, she fell silent for a while before she finally sighed and reached out to gently hold her curved fist. That stubborn air of keeping her at arm's length could be felt through the palms. Jennie could also still feel her hand gently trembling in her slightly warm palms.
Sun Yeong breathed in a rush several times as she looked at Jennie with much effort. There were some waterdrops on the corner of her mouth as she spoke with much difficulty, "Thank you... Thank you for coming... I'm... I'm... sorry..."
As she stammered this, dull tears started to fall from her misty eyes. She looked quite pitiful and helpless as she was probably enduring extreme pain. Her disoriented gaze teared up. When she saw that, it only made Jennie feel sorrowful and slightly bad.
She did not know how to answer her right now.
Sun Yeong was the main reason for everything that happened today!
If it were not for her, Hyunbin and Ye-Jin would not have been separated. Chaerin and Krystal would not be there too, and their family would not be broken up. Perhaps their family would still be living harmoniously.
However, because of her selfish desires, everything changed.
Hyunbin and Ye-Jin, who were clearly so in love with each other, were forced to separate while she was frequently bullied by Krystal, and now...
An indifferent sneer flashed across Jennie's lips as her tone was quite nonchalant. "If you saw this day coming, would you have acted differently? Were all those things really that important? What's so bad about happily living some ordinary life? Did you have to be so greedy?"
When she heard this, Sun Yeong seemed to cry even harder. She stammered and it was hard to hear her, but Jennie could hear the words of regret while her frail hand trembled harder and harder.
"I let you down... I let your mother down! I've done many horrid things in my life... and my life isn't ending well. This is my karma... Can you... Can you forgive me?"
Sun Yeong was already so weak that she could not say much, and even Jennie could hear that her voice was very low, but she could still hear her clearly. She did not feel much sympathy. Right now, she was filled with more sorrow than anything else.
What was there to forgive or not?
She had long been disillusioned. After that knife, her heart had turned as cold as metal.
Her lips curved up as she smiled apathetically and sighed softly. When she looked up, she unexpectedly saw Krystal looking disgusted across the bed. She thought about it and finally shook her head. "I don't know. Even if I say that I forgive you, my heart might not be willing to. The happiness of the first half of life, mine, my father's, my mother's... They've all been ruined by you. If you were me, could you forgive yourself?"
Sun Yeong trembled even harder now. She panted with much difficulty and could barely catch her breath.
"I... I know... but... but I can only say sorry... This is my karma. I... I... can only wish you all happiness... Please help me say sorry to your parents... I'm sorry..."
Her voice turned softer as it slowly faded. Her eyes lost focus, and they slowly closed. Her trembling body turned limp, yet in that instant, the hand that Jennie held gently suddenly gripped onto Jennie's tightly. Jennie could vaguely feel something being stuffed into her palm.
It felt like a key...
Sun Yeong finally inhaled her last breath. When Krystal saw that, her expression changed. Her emotions started to shift and she quickly ran to the door to shout, "Doctor! Doctor!"
Upon hearing the shouts, the doctors rushed in quickly, and Jennie quietly retreated to the side.
The doctors quickly checked on Sun Yeong. In the end, they shook their heads and straightened up to announce heavily, "The elder is gone. Our condolences."
When she heard this, Krystal frowned. Her expression contained a mix of emotions while she could not describe how she felt. After a while, she lay on Sun Yeong's bedside and started to weep while holding her cold hand.
Jennie fell silent too. An upset feeling rose in her chest as she felt dazed and suddenly felt weak. Solar swiftly came up to hold her, her beautiful eyes filled with worry and concern.
"Director Kim, my condolences!" Solar softly said.
Jennie sighed, and then slowly shut her eyes. She nodded gently and eased for a bit before opening her eyes as she looked at Sun Yeong who had just passed. What entered her heart was unexpectedly a faint brush of grief.
Did this mean that all the past grudges were written off now?
Jennie could not help but laugh at herself pathetically. Gloominess gathered in her chest. In that instant, she hesitated and thought about it, and then looked at the person who had passed and said quietly, "Live more easily in the next life, no matter what, I do hope you will be able to enter paradise."
She then looked away, taking her sunglasses out from her pocket and putting it on before turning to leave.
When she left the room, Jennie suddenly said softly with an indescribable sorrow in her tone, "Solar, help me inform Manager Ryujin to help me make the arrangements for the funeral."
Following her, Solar silently nodded. "Yes, Director Kim!"
The sun was shining outside. Jennie stood underneath the sunlight for a while. when she saw the car that came from the front. She was about to get in when Krystal's voice suddenly came from behind.
"Jennie! I want to have a chat with you!"
When she heard that voice, Jennie stopped and turned to look.
Krystal was standing right behind her with a servant holding an umbrella for her. She did not look at sorry as before. Instead, she looked like a vile character who had gotten what she wanted.
Jennie examined her indifferently. She was quite surprised that Krystal had been rather well-behaved recently. Apart from being busy with the newly released film and filming the new show, she would sometimes attend charity banquets in the past few months, maintaining a lower profile than before.
However, she did not think there was anything to discuss with her since they only went back and forth on the same topics. Because she was annoyed with them now, she did not answer her. Instead, she turned and continued to walk ahead as the bodyguards respectfully opened the car door for her.
