Chapter 1742 The Last Time

• But having lived thus far, I knew my life was no longer just mine. I couldn't simply disregard John's feelings after accepting his infinite care.
• In the end, John was afraid that he would upset me, so he eased off before I could even respond to him. “Think about it carefully. I've never really stopped you from making your own choices, but it's different this time. No matter the conflicts between the two of you in the past, Ashton was at least a decent person with good family background. Now, however, he's cold-blooded and vicious. He keeps getting himself involved in illegal activities, challenging the government. That's only courting death!”
• After saying that, he continued, “You've got to understand something, Letty. We do our best to continue living in order to see more of the world and experience the love and beauty in this world, not to plunge into hell and be an emotionless machine with only profit in our eyes. I understand that you're reluctant to accept the reality because you're waiting for him to come to that realization like me. However, people are different. Although I was lower than pond scum, I never touched drugs. Your waiting is entirely meaningless.”
