The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)

Chapter 2041

After the plane landed, Rita helped Esmeralda find a place to rest, and Zion asked someone to prepare something to eat.

It didn't take long for the thunder and lightning, and finally it rained.

The sound of the rain was very loud, which made people upset.

Rita looked outside and frowned. No one knew what she was thinking.

Zion suddenly said to Esmeralda, "Do you want to go there with me?"

"Ah?"

It was the first time that Esmeralda had been invited by Zion as a different person from her own brother. She could not help but be stunned.

Rita just glanced at Zion and didn't say anything.

Esmeralda wasn't an idiot. She naturally guessed that Zion wanted to leave some space for Rita. She nodded and got up.

Zion asked his men to accompany Esmeralda, and then he took the lead in walking outside.

Not long after they left, Rita saw Mylo.

Her nose suddenly twitched. She stepped forward, hugged Mylo tightly, and whispered, "Mylo, I feel a little upset."

"Do you want to see him?"

Mylo gently caressed Rita's back, his eyes full of complicated emotions.

If possible, he really didn't want to see the woman he liked feel upset for another man, but he couldn't do anything, and he couldn't even blame her. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Hearing Mylo's words, Rita couldn't help but raise her head and glance at him.

"What did you say? You don't care?"

"I care, but I won't fight for anything with a dying man. Let's go and see him. He's dying."

Mylo's words caused Rita's eyes to widen.

"Who? Jake? How could he..."

"In the past few years, he has always been in poor health. Because of the separation of personality, he has been suffering. For your illness, he has been holding on and waiting for the result of the research. Now that you have recovered, his mission has been completed. In fact, in these days, his other personality has been restored. The person sitting next to you at night is Jake."

Mylo's words stunned Rita.

He was back?

Was that why Jake, who had been by her side for the past few nights, was not so threatening?

"Why didn't he tell me earlier?"

"Why should he tell you? His body has long been exhausted over the years. He knows better than anyone that the recovery of his first personality means that he is about to fail. He can't watch himself die, so he chose to take medicine. Rita, sorry, I can't save him."

Mylo didn't know how to express his feelings at this moment, but he was really depressed.

Rita clenched her hands tightly and felt uncomfortable. However, she saw the complicated emotions in Mylo's eyes. She gently hugged him and whispered, "The person I love is you, Mylo. But I'm also grateful to him. Please accompany me to send him off."

Mylo shook his head and said, "Rita, the person I want to see the most is you. I feel uncomfortable in my heart. After all, my woman has to remember another man's kindness in this life. He did what I failed to do for you. I am jealous and sad, but I understand more clearly that the person who will accompany you for the rest of my life is me. He only wants to see you for the last time, so I won't participate."

As he spoke, Mylo's hand moved away. He gently pointed to the room beside him and said in a low voice, "Go in. He's inside. I'll wait for you outside."

Looking at Mylo's uncomfortable expression, Rita actually felt bad as well, but she didn't say anything else. She took a deep breath and went to the room.

There was only one bed in the room.

Jake was lying on the bed, looking a little lonely.

Rita's eyes were a little bitter, and she walked over step by step.

Jake was asleep.

If it weren't for his slight breathing, Rita would have thought that he was already gone.

His face was pale and he really liked like he was dying.

Rita suddenly raised her head and forced back the tears in her eyes.

Jake seemed to have sensed the arrival of Rita. He suddenly opened his eyes, but when he saw Rita's tearful watery eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Is this tear for me?"

Jake wanted to reach out and touch Rita, but in the end, he didn't raise his arm.

He said with a self-deprecating smile, "Do you think I'm very pitiful now?"

"No."

Rita shook her head and sat down beside his bed.

She took the initiative to hold his hand and said in a choked voice, "Jake, I never thought you were weak and useless. On the contrary, you are shy and polite. You will help the weak without being known. You have a lot of advantages. I used to think that you were the most powerful person in the world."

"Is that so?"

Jake's smile suddenly became a little brilliant.

His favorite girl was praising him like this. He felt that his life was worth it.

"Don't cry, Rita. Although I am very happy that you will cry for me, it is a mistake for a person like me to live."

"No, it's not."

Rita shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

Jake really wanted to hold this woman in his arms and comfort her. Even if he could gently pat her back and say a few words, he knew that his body would not allow it anymore.

His vitality was slipping away, and he might be separated from her in the blink of an eye in this life.

"Rita, promise me that you'll treat yourself well. Although I can see that Mylo likes you very much, if he hurts you one day in the future, promise me that you won't be discouraged. Don't be sad. Come out strong. Because you have a complete body, you can do whatever you want."

"Hm."

Rita nodded.

She knew that Jake still had a lot to say, but in the end, he gathered these words together. So much reluctance, so much attachment, so much longing, all of them changed in an instant... After that, they transformed into a pair of painful eyes that flashed through Jake's eyes.

"To be able to meet you, know you, and even fall in love with you is the greatest blessing of my life. If I die, I will be burned and thrown into the sea. I don't want to be buried in the

Fang family's ancestral grave. This surname makes me feel dirty, depressed, and feel that I don't have the courage to stand by your side. If there is a next life, please allow me to find you with another surname, okay?"

Jake looked at her with tears in his eyes.

Rita couldn't agree with him. Sometimes, she felt that she was very cruel. Jake was already like this, but what about him?

However, she was grateful to Jake. Her heart ached for Jake and she sympathized with him. However, she also knew that she did not love Jake.

"Jake, if there is a next life, I will protect you."

As soon as Rita said this, Jake knew her choice.

In the end, it was still an extravagant hope!

He originally thought that if he lost to Mylo in this life, he might still have a chance in the next life. However, it seemed that Rita's feelings were the same as the Ye family's. Once someone was determined, it would be a lifetime.

Wasn't he the same?

Jake suddenly tightened his grip on Rita's hand and hurriedly said, "Promise me that you'll make yourself happy."

"I promise you."

Rita nodded without hesitation.

Then she felt that Jake's strength was suddenly pulled away, and his slender arms slipped away in an instant...

"Jake!"

Rita shouted in a low voice, with unspeakable sadness, which immediately filled the whole room.
