Irish did not expect that Cassie would say that, and her smile was frozen slightly, and she replied after a few seconds, "Cassie, it's different."
"I know I shouldn't mention it to you, and I also hope you can let it go in these years. But now that you have experienced the same pain as me, you should have known that I can't just forget Fredrick so easily."
"Cassie, you misunderstand me. What was different between the two situations was his death but not the love Adam and I have had." Irish explained softly, adding, "I am just guilty, and I feel that he died because of me."
"Are you guilty?" Cassie blinked her eyes and then said, "But how can you let it go since you love him so much? Is there any guilt left in you?"
"What are you talking about?" Irish smiled and continued, "Yes, I liked him so much, but it is not love."
Cassie stared at her as if she was a stranger and then shook her head after a long while, "But you didn't say this to me before."
"Have I told you the things about Adam?" Irish was confused.
"Are you okay?" Cassie stared at her with weird eyes and then explained, "You told me on the phone, and you said that you love him very much while he also loves you. You are happy to be with him."
Irish was shocked.
"What's more..." Cassie halted her words hesitantly when she saw her weird expression.
"What?" Irish hastily asked and waited for her to continue
"What's more, you said to me personally that you would get married to him if that accident hadn't occurred."
Irish was completely shocked, and how could it be possible for her to tell Cassie about it? She knew Adam for a short period of time, so they couldn't develop such deep affection.
"Honey, do you forget the words you said to me?" Cassie asked her cautiously. Though she had never met Adam before, Irish often mentioned him, so she knew they loved each other deeply. But after that accident, she never took the initiative to mention Adam anymore.
It made Irish keep silent this time, and Cassie's words sent shivers down her spine. Why couldn't she remember she had said these words before?
"What else have I told you before about Adam?" She asked again after a long time.
Cassie shook her head and replied, "Nothing. You just mentioned to me on the phone that he liked climbing, and you both have the same interest, so you love him very much."
Irish was in a mess and felt the light in front of her gradually vanish. She can't remember the words she said before. And the coldness in her back began to spread all over her body.

When Kelly came to Jay, he was busy interrogating a group of drug dealers who had just been arrested and brought to the police station.
She had been to the police station before, but it was her first time entering this anti-drug center. As soon as she got in, she was frightened by the people squatting beside the corridor. They all leaned against the wall, and the pants fell off their legs while a basin was placed under their buttocks. And there was a policeman who looked so serious and kept watching them.
Suddenly, a person who screamed bitterly and whose mouth was stained with blood rushed to Kelly. She immediately screamed out of fear, and seconds before the man was going to hit her, he suddenly fell to the ground and rolled over.
The policeman hastily rushed forward and said to the walkie-talkie, "Cap, the drugs in the drug dealers are broken!"
Hearing this, Kelly realized they were all drug dealers, and she understood what they were doing. She had read a report before and knew that some drug traffickers had adopted a subtler way of hiding drugs and transporting drugs to escape the police in recent years. Some male drug traffickers would swallow the packaged drugs into their stomachs or put them into tanks, while some female drug dealers would even hide the drug in their private parts.
These drugs could be maintained in their bodies for nearly four days, and they couldn't eat during this period because gastrointestinal motility would promote damage to the outer packaging. Once damaged, the courier would die at any time, just like the person in front of her.
When Jay rushed to the corridor together with the emergency personnel, the man who fell in front of Kelly was already dead. Her shoes were stained by blood, and Jay was even shocked by the scene. Finally, he calmed down and asked, "How much volume of drugs does he hide in his body?"
"More than 1,500 grams. His stomach and anorectal are affected by the narcotic drugs."
Jay hastily asked them to handle this case and then urged them to take those drugs away.
When everything subsided, he stepped forward and said with embarrassment, "You shouldn't come here, Aunt Kelly."
"Your phone can't get through, so I must come here in person." Kelly's face was pale, but she tried to calm down and waved her hand at him.
Hearing this, Jay hastily apologized to her since he couldn't bring his phone when carrying a task. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's talk in my office."
"There is no need to do that." Kelly declined him directly and looked around, but soon she frowned even more tightly, "I think if Lilith sees what happens today, she may lose her courage to be with you."
Jay also understood that she came here to talk about Lilith, so he said in a low voice, "I promise I will treat her well in the future."
"I don't want to hear your promise." Kelly said indifferently and added, "I came here just to tell you that if you want to be with Lilith, then you have to give up your present work." Jay was shocked while Kelly soon continued, "It is because I don't want my daughter to maintain a chaste widowhood. What's more, you get in contact with those drug traffickers every day, and I am afraid that they will take revenge on you and hurt my daughter someday." It seemed that Kelly hated this place very much, and she covered her nose and said again, "Jay, I'm much more tolerant now compared with the first time. Lilith could continuously play the tricks of apastia with me because she loves you so much, so I can accept you, but I have taken consideration for my daughter's future life. You either choose to give up Lilith or your present work." After finishing her words, she left without looking back. Jay was shocked and stood there blankly for a long time.
