Of All Sorrows, Love Is the Deepest Chapter 22
Nicholas, Clarence, Irving, and Luther still clung to the illusions of seeking Karina's forgiveness.Gifts flowed in like a steady stream to Karina, only to be sent back one after another.Watching her toss those presents aside, Zachary couldn't help but laugh. "My project here is almost finished. Would you like to come back to Costamere with me?" he asked.Karina stopped what she was doing. "Zachary, do you really like me? Will you truly not mind my past?"He gazed at her tenderly and resolutely. "Karina, I'm an adult, so I know the difference between gratitude and affection. I like you, I love you, and I want to protect you."As for your past, I only feel heartbroken for you and regret that I didn't meet you sooner."Zachary was an exceptional suitor. Not only was he attentive in every matter, but he also expressed his care for her in every word he spoke.Karina had long passed the age of craving a passionate, life-and-death kind of love. On the contrary, it was this kind care

Karina felt nothing but disgust at their gestures."I've already made myself very clear. I don't want to be your sister anymore, and I certainly don't want to be Nicholas' wife. I just want to be myself. Seeing you here now only makes me sick."When they heard that, pain washed over their faces."Karina, we truly know we were wrong. It was only because of Rowena that we made those mistakes."Karina let out a scornful laugh and raised her arm."I was bitten here by a venomous snake Rowena gave me, and I nearly died from it because none of you were willing to get me treatment. And due to the lingering toxin, I still get nerve pain in this arm from time to time."Turning to Clarence, she pointed at her own back and continued emphatically, "Because of Rowena's false accusations, I was whipped 100 times, and my back still carries scars that will never fade."She then pointed to her chest. "Nicholas, you hit me with your car and broke three of my ribs. Whenever it rains, my chest ache

Karina said nothing, and silence hung between them.Nicholas watched her intently, hoping his confession would move her in some way."Nicholas, why are you doing this?" She shook her head, her refusal leaving no room for doubt. "You know there are no second chances in life. If there were, my biggest regret would be being born into my family, and my second would be marrying you five years ago."Karina didn't want to drag this out any longer, so she added, "Nicholas, when I was hanging from that cliff, I already died once. Can't you just let me go?"She tried to turn and leave, but Nicholas caught her wrist."No. Karina, I was truly wrong, and I genuinely regret it. Didn't you always want to marry me? Come back with me, and we'll officially get married, okay?"The more he said such things, the more disgusted Karina felt.Just as she couldn't break free, a hand reached over and gently freed her wrist from Nicholas' grip.Karina looked over, and her eyes immediately lit up."Zacha

Karina travelled to various places, and she eventually settled in a border town known for its flowers.She strolled through the streets, occasionally raising her camera to take a few photos."Karina!"Hearing someone call her name, she turned to look. Though it was only a distant, blurry figure, she recognized him immediately.It was none other than Nicholas.She couldn't help but frown. It had been so long since she had seen anyone connected to Nicholas that she had almost forgotten about him.Karina simply couldn't understand. If he never loved her, and she had already willingly left, why did he still come looking for her?Just thinking about Nicholas brought back memories of her time with her family.The weather here was warm, and the pain from her rib injury hadn't flared up in a long time. But the moment she saw Nicholas, that feeling of being hurt came rushing back all over again.Karina quickened her pace, letting the crowds and alleyways create distance between them.

Since Zachary arrived, many things in Karina's life had quietly changed.Before, it always felt as if a part of her heart was hollow. But after Zachary came, they would talk occasionally. Even when they didn't, he would sometimes come and stand beside her for a while.Karina placed a hand over her chest and realized she hadn't felt that empty, desolate sense of loss in a long time.Only then did it suddenly dawn on her that the reason she had felt so hollow was that everything was too quiet when she was alone.Humans were social beings, after all. It was only natural to long for connection. And being isolated from others for too long would inevitably lead to loneliness.Karina had once intended to spend the rest of her life on this remote, uninhabited island, but now she had changed her mind.Several months had passed, so surely her brothers and Nicholas had already forgotten about her.Since she had already "died" once, why should she keep holding herself back?With that thoug

Karina had been living on this isolated island for several months now. Apart from the occasional supply ship, there was hardly any sign of other people.Her daily companions were the salty sea breeze and the seagulls that sometimes flew past her window. Life alone had turned out to be rather peaceful.At first, Karina would occasionally think back on her past experiences at home. But later, those memories gradually faded, as if that unhappy chapter had been buried.Everything that happened between her family and Nicholas felt like a lifetime ago.Sensing the approaching storm, Karina secured the doors and windows of the villa at the island's center and quietly waited for the weather to clear.The next day turned out to be unexpectedly sunny.Gazing up at the cloudless sky, Karina felt the urge to go out for a walk.The sea here was a deep, vivid blue, and Karina often felt as though she had arrived at the edge of the world.Suddenly, something on the distant beach caught her at
