Chapter 26 Maxine's wedding dress didn't have fancy lace, it was just a simple satin gown that shimmered like pearls in the moonlight. William was wearing a white shirt, sleeves rolled up to his elbows, and his tie had already been loos- ened by him. He held her hand and they exchanged rings on the observatory at the top of the Alps. There were only a dozen close friends below. The sound of champagne glasses clinking mixed with the mountain wind, crisp like the sound of stars shattering. "I thought you'd want a bigger wedding." William lowered his head and kissed her fingertips. Maxine looked at the Milky Way: "Only people who have been in the spotlight know how precious peace and quiet is." The waiter brought over a mountain of gifts, and one ebony box really stood out. The moment Maxine opened the lid, William clearly felt her fingers tremble. The string of prayer beads that Reid had given to Kelsey was now lying quietly on the velvet cloth. Each sandalwood bead had a gentle shine, clearly from being handled for a long time. There were only seven words on the attached card. I'm prettier than her, right?!" The prison guard just watched coldly, and didn't do anything until she collapsed in a pool of blood, to- tally exhausted. Then he dragged her back to the bed like a dead dog. 0.0 %. 06:35 ༦'་སཎ་༦་ -པ 200 vouchers "Number 0487 had another episode." The nurse wrote in the logbook, "Number of self-harm incidents. today: 7." As soon as she finished speaking, Kelsey screamed and knocked over the mirror in front of her. "What's this? Who sent it?! Who sent this!!" Her face, that face that once looked seventy percent like Maxine's. Now it was covered with ugly scars, and the right eye couldn't even close all the way. The prison guard looked at her coldly: "Anonymous donation, you had to accept it by the rules." Kelsey scratched at her face like crazy until it was covered in blood. She recognized this mirror-the frame had a line of small words carved on it: "Look at you now, who do you look like?" Kelsey went crazy and smashed the mirror against the wall, pieces flying everywhere. Outside the window, a crow flew past the iron fence and let out a harsh cry, like a cold laugh. In a temporary hospital in Africa, Reid was kneeling on the ground, bandaging a child's wound. The blazing sun burned the back of his neck till it peeled, and his expensive suit had long been swapped for a wrinkled linen shirt. When the little boy shyly handed over the dirty candy, he vaguely remembered eighteen-year-old Max- ine-she always liked to stuff strawberry hard candies into his textbooks. The moment I raised my hand, the nurse looked surprised. This usually quiet doctor actually had a necklace with a photo of a girl in a school uniform. The girl in the photo was standing under a cherry blossom tree, looking back and smiling. When the bell rang, William lit fireworks on the rooftop in New York. "Gift." He put his arms around Maxine from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. "How does it compare to when Reid booked out the concert hall back then?" She turned around and kissed William: "Not even close." "Huh?" "You were ten times more handsome than him." 47.3 %. 06:35 Fireworks went off above their heads, lighting up the never-dying lights of desire on Wall Street. 288 iVouchers 97.3 %. 06:36 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
