My Heart Beats On Inside Him Chapter 10
Kendrick continued, "You were the one responsible for arranging the shirts in the wardrobe every morning, for turning off the coffee machine in the middle of the night, and for putting away all the documents in the study!"I felt my heart nearly stop—if a ghost could even have a heartbeat. I realized then that he had actually noticed all those subtle things I did without even thinking. I then laughed through my tears, exclaiming, "You're such a big dummy for only noticing it now, Kendrick!"Kendrick suddenly laughed through his tears, looking like a kid who just got a piece of candy. "I heard that, Jasmine."I didn't know how much time I had left with Kendrick. I could feel my soul fading by the day, to the point where even picking up a pen took multiple attempts. I still welcomed every single extra day I could get, though.Kendrick began learning how to pinpoint exactly where I was. He would suddenly look at my empty chair in the middle of business meetings and cock his brow sligh

Kendrick trembled as he took out an old wallet from his inner suit pocket and carefully removed a faded photo of the two of us taken at the amusement park before the SATs. I was beaming at the camera while he was secretly staring at the side of my face.He gently traced his fingers across my smiling face in the photo. "You said you wanted to make me live to a hundred, but without you, how am I supposed to get through these 50 years, Jasmine?"It was raining heavily, causing the photo to be soaked. Kendrick frantically wiped it with his sleeve, but he only ended up smudging it further. He suddenly went rigid, staring at the blurred photo. He suddenly froze in place as he stared at the distorted image on the photo, letting out a broken, tearful laugh."You are always like this, leaving whenever you say so, leaving at a moment's notice, without even leaving a single intact photo for me…"In the meantime, the distant rumble of an engine echoed through the air as Yvonne drove away.Ken

I wished so badly that Kendrick could have just lived his life without ever finding out the truth.Mom stumbled over to the memorial altar and picked up the stale box of cotton candy nougats. "Jasmine was still holding onto this the day she died…"There was a crumpled piece of paper inside that box of nougats. "You must live a long and healthy life, Kendrick."Kendrick's hands shook as he unfolded the slip of paper. He suddenly broke into a violent coughing fit. He spat a mouthful of blood across the paper, smudging the handwriting. He then fell to his knees, his voice completely cracking while sobbing. "I've come back too late, Jasmine…"I was eventually cremated and placed into a small urn. I was laid to rest while it was drizzling.Kendrick collapsed in front of my tombstone, his black suit completely drenched by the rain as he remained completely motionless like a statue. He repeatedly traced my name on the tombstone, the pads of his fingers wearing down to blood, the rain car

It was as if time had frozen for me for four years, with only the heart transplant scar on my chest standing as a brutal reminder of the truth.Kendrick dropped to his knees before the refrigerated coffin, the sound of his knees smashing against the floor tiles making everyone shudder. His fingers trembled as they brushed against the glass coffin lid, but curled up at the exact instant they were about to touch my face."Jasmine!" Kendrick's voice cracked and rasped, as if it were forced out with difficulty from his shattered lungs.In the meantime, the Lawson family quietly withdrew, no longer pressing for my cremation.Kendrick knelt there all by himself. He went without food or water for an entire week, watching over the coffin like a statue.I hovered beside him, watching him visibly wither. His once immaculate hair now hung loosely over his brow, and his expensive suit was now crumpled and disheveled. I couldn't help but feel my heart ache, though there was nothing I could do

Kendrick stared down at the torn death certificate in his grip, his chest heaving. He scoffed, his gaze turning chillingly intense. "You're trying to fool me again, huh? You're still putting on a show, even now?"He slowly shredded the death certificate, letting the pieces fall from his grip. However, the name "Jasmine Lawson" on those pieces felt like a branding iron, causing his hands to tremble.In that instant, everyone in the room held their breath. It was obvious to everyone that Kendrick was on the verge of a breakdown.It was quite odd, though, as the Lawsons remained completely still and silent. Their expressions held no fear, just profound grief. Mom even managed a weak smile, though it was far more devastating than watching her cry."You bunch of lunatics!" Kendrick hissed through gritted teeth, then turned on his heel and stormed out.It was the following day when Fisher Group made a massive public announcement about Kendrick's engagement to Yvonne. Those prominent fam

Daniel gulped nervously and shuffled closer, rubbing his hands together ingratiatingly. "I already helped you get back at Jasmine. Do I not deserve something in return, Mr. Fisher?"Kendrick crushed the wine glass in his hand, spilling wine onto the carpet. He stared at Daniel with a chilling smile before saying, "You must be quite drunk, Mr. Ziegler. Who is this Jasmine? Is she someone I should know?"I instantly felt tears welling up in my eyes. I still felt a wave of grief washing over me after hearing him say that, even though my heart had already shattered a million times before this.Kendrick pulled a wad of cash from his inner suit pocket and casually threw it on the floor.Those bills were scattered across the floor, a few landing right at Daniel's feet.In that instant, the snickering of the guests throughout the venue came to a sudden halt.Daniel's expression contorted, slowly dropping to his knees. He licked his lips, his eyes locked on the pile of cash. "You're absol
