< Chapter 102.Â
Chapter 102.Â
In a daze, she remembered that boy who spent over a month knitting her a scarf. He was always patient. He just worried he wouldn’t do it well enough, that it wouldn’t touch her heart.Â
If she hadn’t gotten that deep love, she wouldn’t have hurt this much.Â

Jovana bit her inner lip hard and gave a bitter smile, “Just some stray dogs rummaging through the trash. Go ahead and lock it up!”Â
Juliette paused for a second, then quickly realized Jovana was calling her a trash can, and instantly got furious, “Jovana!”Â
Jovana endured the piercing pain and said coldly, “Don’t tell me this crap again, it disgusts me. I don’t care what’s going on between you and him!”Â
After she finished talking, she was about to hang up.Â
Juliette suddenly laughed and said, “Armando didn’t care about you either. He just lost that bracelet and didn’t miss it at all.”Â
Jovana looked like someone had hit her over the head, and she just stood there, her face really pale.Â
Juliette chuckled and said, “To be honest, I kinda felt bad for you. How about I bring the bracelet to you tomorrow? Otherwise, if it just gets lost, that’d be such a waste!”Â
Killing someone and breaking their spirit was just like this.Â
Jovana’s eyes were red at the corners, and she said hoarsely, “No need!”Â
Hung up the phone.Â
For a moment, the whole villa was scary quiet, so the sound of Jovana falling to the ground seemed really loud.Â
She was like an abandoned rag doll, shivering all over from the cold, and could only hug herself to keep warm.Â
Feeling wronged was for people who had someone to care about them. No one cared about her, so she didn’t even deserve to feel wronged.Â
Armando went to the office and came back, but he still didn’t find that bracelet. Looks like he must have left it at Juliette’s place. He could only go find her himself tomorrow.Â
Pushed the door open.Â
He tossed the car keys on the cabinet and was about to change into slippers when, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Jovana collapse onto the cold floor. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over and pulled her into his arms.Â
“Vana, what happened?”Â
“Vana?!”Â
He touched Jovana’s forehead, she had a bit of a fever. He frowned with concern and carried her in his arms upstairs back to theÂ
bedroom.Â
At that moment, the phone that had fallen to the ground flashed a few times, and Juliette’s message popped up again.Â
Armando obviously didn’t see it.Â
Jovana vaguely felt that Armando held her in his arms, put her on a soft bed, and gave her some medicine…Â
Was it a dream…Â
She thought she was back in high school, crying and mumbling, “Armando, I don’t want to see you anymore…”Â
“Could you just not mess with me?”Â

“I… begged you…”Â
In the dream, Jovana cried her eyes out.Â
Armando was holding her in his arms, giving her water, when he suddenly heard those words. His chest hurt like it was being pricked by a needle.Â
How could he bear to let her go?Â

He held her tight, chin rubbing her forehead like he couldn’t let go. His voice was low and rough, like he was scared to disturb her, and he said, “Sorry, my baby had to suffer…”Â
“I should be dead.”Â
He thought of Jovana from high school. Jovana was fair-skinned, quiet, didn’t like to talk, and rarely joined any clubs. Every time. he saw her, it was either on the school’s award stage or in the pictures for recognition.Â
Was a well-behaved good student.Â
And him? He was basically the complete opposite of her. He loved to play around, loved to mess around, and his grades were at the bottom. He only got into Oakwood High School because he was an athlete. The only thing he had going for him was probably his family background.Â
But it was like it was meant to be.Â
They were bound to meet in the end.Â
“I definitely found the bracelet.”Â
“Vana, don’t leave me… please.” Armando closed his eyes and sighed, his voice mixed with a slight sob, and spoke close to her ear.Â
Obviously didn’t get a response.Â
After settling Jovana, Armando went downstairs to get some water.Â
Suddenly, a cheerful phone ringtone rang out, sounding especially out of place in the empty first floor.Â
Armando put down his cup and instinctively reached for his phone. Then he realized it was Jovana’s phone ringing. He walked over quickly and picked up the phone from the floor.
