Chapter 11
The rescue team that Liam hired at great expense spent nearly a week salvaging in the open sea, but still did not find Jessie.
The members of the rescue team were already exhausted, and they sent a representative to try to persuade Liam.
Just as he was about to speak up, he was immediately intimidated by a single glance from Liam.
The assistant, looking at the exhausted Liam in front of him,
reluctantly made a phone call to the Foley family and his good friend Alan Schmidt.
When Alan arrived, it was already late at night. The members of the rescue team had long gone back to rest. The vast sea stretched out before him, and Liam stood alone in the distance, allowing the waves to crash towards him.
”
“Liam, you were crazy!” Alan ran over quickly, dragging and pulling him away from the dangerous area.
Liam’s long–suppressed emotions erupted, intertwining and entangling with grief and helplessness, choking him tightly, as if he couldn’t breathe.
He sat on the ground in pain, screaming loudly towards the sea, shouting Jessie’s name.
The only sound that could be heard was the crashing of the waves against the shore.
He felt as if all his strength had been drained from his body, making

him feel so uncomfortable that he began to retch.
Alan felt uncomfortable in his heart when he saw him in this appearance.
“Liam, Jessie is already dead, but life must go on. With such a big company, are you just going to let it go? Originally, you couldn’t stand firm in the Foley family. If you continue like this, everything you have worked hard for will be in vain!”
“By the way, there’s Briley. You told me before that when you first saw Briley, it was like seeing your past self. She captivated you so much. Now that Jessie is gone, she would definitely want someone to love you in her place. You don’t have to elope with Briley, you can be with her openly now. Isn’t that a good thing?”
Liam’s body suddenly experienced a somatic reaction, causing him to shake uncontrollably.
But he paid no attention, letting tears slide down his cheeks, a shattered heart that seemed unable to be pieced back together.
He raised his fist and punched his long–numbed heart, one punch after another.
“Alan, I never thought that without Jessie, my heart would be so painful… so painful!”
Jessie’s long–term companionship made him believe that as long as he turned around, she would always be standing in the same place, waiting for him.
Jessie’s kindness towards him, he had long been accustomed to it, and he didn’t even consider those good things as important.
It was not until he had completely lost her that he realized he had already integrated Jessie into his very being. He could make up his

mind to leave with Briley because he knew that no matter what, Jessie would be guarding their home and waiting for them, holding onto their past.
Liam admitted that he was selfish, but even so, he hoped that Jessie could love him wholeheartedly, imperfections and all. ̧
They had all witnessed each other’s most embarrassing moments, even though Liam no longer loved Jessie, he believed he would not mistreat her.
But now, she left so suddenly, that immense feeling of sadness and loss, it seemed like it was going to devour his whole being.
Liam realized that he loved Jessie far more than he had imagined.

She, who had always been gentle, didn’t even leave herself a single bone.
Alan’s eyes lost their sadness as he looked at Liam, who was in so much pain. He could only offer him comfort.
“Liam, it would be fine, everything would be fine.”
Liam’s tears in the corners of his eyes dried up, and he lay motionless on the ground, his eyes swollen and painful, making it difficult to even see things clearly.
A self–mocking smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he said, “Would I really be okay without her?”
This time, no one could answer his words anymore.
Hannah did not come to see him, and the Foley family also gave him an ultimatum.
Before leaving, Liam took one last look at the sea.
