Chapter 1617
Felipe was not saying anything. He only watched Cathy’s back quietly.
The outline of her figure had already become blurry due to the tears in his eyes.
‘Cath.
‘You remember.
‘When you said that.
‘This is fine.
‘You can pretend not to know so we can bid farewell here.
‘Adam will be good to you, right?
‘At least, he’ll treat you better than I did.’
He lowered his eyes and chuckled in self-mockery. He realized that happiness was just within arm’s reach but he pushed this happiness away.
While he was immersed in his silence, Felipe heard Cathy saying softly.
“Felipe, I’ll see you never.”
‘I’ll see you never.’
He had never felt how heartbreaking these four words were, but now, he felt it.
He stared fixedly at Cathy and said with a smile on his face, “Alright, I’ll see you never.”
Yes, never.
He would not choose to appeal. The only thing waiting for him would be the death penalty. There would not be another possibility anymore.
After Cathy got Felipe’s answer, she stood quietly and absent-mindedly in the same spot for a while until her daughter shook her hand.
“Mommy, that handsome uncle is crying. He looks like Juan when he’s crying.”
However, her answer was still calm and indifferent. “I don’t remember.”
“Yes, you do.”
Felipe denied it. His heartbeat started accelerating wildly. His vision was also glued to Cathy’s back.
“The days you don’t remember are the days when I made you bleed and cry. If they’re your and Adam’s children, then you should know their birthdays clearly. There’s another meaning when you said you don’t remember, so does it mean that the children are related to me?”
Cathy did not think that Felipe would make assumptions from this angle.
She was stumped for words. When she wanted to deny it, Felipe got up suddenly. However, his action was quickly stopped by the officer at one side.
He was pushed back down in his seat forcefully. However, the excitement in his eyes that was on the brink of overflowing could not be stopped now.
“Cathy, Cathy…”
He called out her name, and his eyes were filled with unlimited longing.
“They’re our children, right?”
