Chapter 19
After that. Joshua seemed to have truly lost his soul.
Once, when Caroline was still around, although Joshua hated Kelly, he was uncontrollably drawn in by the warmth and passion in Kelly’s eyes as he tormented her.
So he began to be obsessed with that madwoman, unwilling to admit that he was being influenced by her, but also unwilling to let go.
It wasn’t until Caroline’s death that he finally woke up and let go of Kelly.
Just as Caroline had mentioned to him multiple times while she was
still alive.
After letting go of Kelly, he no longer cared. No matter how much Kelly made a fuss, he no longer paid any attention.
When Caroline died, Joshua’s heart died, with her.
He knew he was wrong, so he spent the rest of his life atoning to her.
Joshua no longer loves anyone. The only person he ever truly loved in his life was the girl who he ultimately lost on the rooftop.
In their memories, the most beautiful and the most painful memories are both in the same place.
Joshua took on the responsibility of taking care of Caroline’s parents, even more diligently than he did for his own parents.
Caroline’s parents often praised him in the years that followed, saying that their daughter meeting him was a blessing.
Only he himself knew that it was not like that.
it weren’t for meeting Joshua, Caroline would have been the most. shining girl in the world, leading a happy and fulfilling life.
It was because of meeting Joshua that Caroline lost everything important.
She lost her proudest dance dream, her basic physical health, and even her beloved boyfriend.
So in the end, she chose to jump off the building as a way to retaliate against him, the mastermind behind it all.
Several years later, the lonely Joshua stood in front of Caroline’s grave, confessing to her over and over again. But he could no longer get a response, no matter how much he apologized. The girl in the photo on the tombstone continued to smile the same way, and he could no longer receive forgiveness.
Until that day, he went alone to the rooftop where Caroline had jumped Standing on the rooftop, he suddenly wanted to feel what Caroline had felt back then.
How did such a fearful and timid girl manage to jump down so bravely and decisively?
As he stood on the rooftop, looking down and feeling the wind from the terrace, he suddenly understood. It turned out that his Carol had already been so desperate at that time, with only one thought in mind – to break free
Joshua thought of Caroline, stood at the edge of the rooftop, and then leaped off, just like he was going to embrace his beloved.
He thought. “Carol, I came to find you.”
He thought it would be very painful when he landed, but the imagined pain did not come.
He opened his eyes and found himself in the dormitory of the
university. He was lying down, with the sound of phone ringing in his
ears.
Joshua picked up his phone and saw that the incoming call was from Caroline.
He answered the phone blankly, and Caroline’s angry voice came from the other end: “Are you coming or not? I’ve been waiting for you at the bubble tea shop for a long time.”
Joshua didn’t react immediately, “Where are we going?”
Caroline immediately got angry: “You actually forgot! You have five minutes! If you don’t come back, don’t bother showing up again!”
After saying that, he hung up the phone. As he listened to the beep on the phone, he could hear the laughter of his dormitory brothers in his
car.
“Aren’t you going yet? If you don’t go soon, I’ll break up with you.”
Joshua listened to the familiar voice, picked up his phone and found himself back to the beginning of his senior year in college.
He instantly realized that he seemed to have been reborn.

This time, he would definitely love Caroline well and not let her get hurt at all.
