Chapter 1266: Her final decision 3 Chapter 1266: Her final decision 3 Alia disagreed with the nun’s words, saying, “It’s not because I care, but because I no longer have any regrets. These six years of purification have been about cultivating my mindset. Since my fate has brought here, let it also end here.”
“I will respect all your choices,” the nun said.
Alia gave a slight smile and said, “These years, thank you for taking in and caring for , nun.”
“You don’t need to thank . Those who co here for purification are willing to endure hardship and to let go of their past. If you must thank soone, thank yourself. Your present is the result of your own choices.”
“Mmm, every day I’ve spent here has been peaceful, yet fulfilling and joyous,” Alia honestly expressed her feelings.
She didn’t exclude the possibility that she initially sought to redeem her own sins, but in the process, she found the strength of peace.
This was her greatest gain in the past six years.
After bidding farewell to the nun, Alia went straight back to her room, doing everything as usual, turning off the lights to sleep.
As the sounds of reciting the sutras ended, the silence in the mountains beca almost frightening.
Jolson’s n naturally did not dare to relax their vigilance, surrounding the Temple even in places out of sight. Their task was to keep an eye on Alia; if Alia were to leave this place tomorrow, their heads would likely be moving houses too.
A night passed by quietly without any disturbance.
When dawn broke, the practitioners began their new day’s work.
At about the sa ti, Jolson appeared at the place of sutra recitation.
However, he did not see Alia.
This discovery made him go crazy with panic, shouting loudly, “Alia… where’s Alia? Where is she?”
No one responded to him.
“Alia… Alia…”
The nun slowly opened her eyes, ceased reciting the sutras, and said, “Distinguished Guest, Paisley’s room is on the second floor, after turning left.”
Hearing the nun’s words, Jolson ran to the room at full speed.
Pushing open the door, Jolson saw Alia lying on the bed peacefully, her eyes closed, with a smile on her lips.
Jolson felt a sudden fear in his heart, as if sothing was brutally striking his fragile soul.
“Alia… Alia… no… Alia… wake up… wake up…”
But no matter how Jolson called out, Alia always kept her eyes closed with a smile on her face.
It was clear.
Alia had departed peacefully, without any reluctance or complaint.
By the pillow, there was a blank piece of paper with Alia Harris’ ssage on it, effectively a will.
It was written in the unique language of their holand, in Alia’s handwriting.
The ssage was brief:
Brother, this ti, I am truly leaving, not lying to you! I have no regrets, and my heart calmly accepts all that has co.
I have never hated you, don’t dwell on anymore.
Goodbye!
Alia.
“No… no… why would you do this? Why? Why be so cruel?” Jolson collapsed into bitter tears.
He thought he had once again encountered happiness, yet what awaited him was another devastating blow.
Why did Alia do it? Their parents had died, it wasn’t her fault, nor was it his; why couldn’t Alia let go, why wouldn’t she continue to walk with him?
These questions, perhaps Jolson would never understand in his lifeti.
Perhaps one day, Jolson would suddenly comprehend, finally grasping everything, understanding the emotions within Alia’s heart…
