Lahat ng Kabanata ng Fade with the Wind: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Ivy Yarley stood frozen, staring at the half-opened door. At one glance, she immediately spotted the man in the patient's gown among the group.Jason Hough was lazily leaning against the head of the bed, playing with his phone. Someone was partially blocking his face, but Ivy still noticed his sharp nose bridge and deep-set brows.He clearly did not look injured!Ivy blinked. She thought that her overwhelming grief must have made her hallucinate."Guys, let me count. Which round of revenge is this now?""The first time, we lied that Jason lost the necklace that he was going to give her. She searched all night for it in the snow and ended up with a high fever and still refused to rest.""The second time, we tricked her by saying that Jason was unconscious. She knelt and crawled up nine hundred ninety-nine steps just to get him a blessed cross, only for Jason to give the cross to a dog.""The third time, we framed her for cheating and ruined her graduation. The way she desperately

Before Ivy even had the chance to refuse, Jason grabbed her by the hand and pulled her into the car.They stopped in front of a luxury private club. Jason got out of the car and went over to her side to help her open the car door.Ivy looked at him but said nothing, quietly getting out of the car.The moment they entered the club, Ivy instantly spotted a familiar figure.Felicity Shaw.She was in a long white dress, her hair cascading down to her shoulders. A gentle smile curved her lips as she stood at the center of a small crowd, laughing lightly with friends.Felicity was Jason's childhood sweetheart. Although they grew up together, they had not been much in contact for the past few years. This was why Ivy had never suspected that Jason liked Felicity.When Felicity saw Jason and Ivy entering hand in hand, her eyes curled, almost amused. It seemed she also knew about the 99 rounds of revenge.Ivy suddenly found it hard to breathe.Jason also seemed to have noticed Felicity'

Silence hung thickly in the hospital room.Jason, who was rebuking the culprits a moment ago, stiffened. His mind replayed the last sentence."Don't tell me that after all these years, you've fallen for her?"Fallen for Ivy? Impossible!He rejected the thought instantly, almost violently, like denying it hard enough would erase the strange flicker in his chest.He had always liked Felicity. Who the hell was Ivy? He just needed her for one thing, and that was to rain his vengeance upon.That being said… Why would he be so furious when he saw those thugs trying to press themselves on her, if that were truly the case?He had never been so angry and impulsive before, not even when other men tried to flirt with Felicity.The room was in pin-drop silence once more.Jason's friends looked at each other as if they were reassured. One of them patted Jason's shoulder, saying in relief, "You should've told us sooner. You scared us, man. We really thought you caught feelings and ruined th

"You're shooting this idea down, again? Jason, don't you want to just end this game quickly? We promise that no one's going to get killed! We'll wait until the very last moment when she can no longer hold it anymore, then we'll open the door."Jason's tone remained icy. "No. It's risky. Nothing can happen to her."Someone said, "Wait a second, Jason. I heard that you abandoned Felicity and ran after Ivy today! Felicity cried for an entire night, and you took a long time to console her. "Then, to appease her, you told us to come up with the ninety-ninth round of revenge. Why are you being so picky now? Do you still remember who your true love is?"Quickly break up with Ivy and return to Felicity. Didn't you always want that?"Jason's breathing staggered. He wanted to retort when Felicity's voice came from the other end of the line."Jason, I heard what you all said. I'm asking you right now: I want you to do what they said on Ivy, as revenge. Do you agree or not?"Jason was sile

Jason froze.For a long time, he stared at that frail body. He stood there, as still as a statue.In the distance, the rescue workers carried Ivy toward him, their steps heavy. Carefully, they lowered the stretcher in front of him."Mr. Hough, our condolences."The rain grew heavier, blurring his vision.With a dull thud, he dropped to his knees, his eyes swollen and bloodshot.His hand trembled violently as he reached out. Several times, he failed to lift the body before him.In the end, with the help of the rescue workers, he finally gathered her into his arms.Just half a day ago, Ivy had been sitting in his passenger seat, smiling brightly, her eyes shining as she confessed her love.At this moment, she lay silent in his arms.The iciness of her body spread all the way into his heart."Ivy, stop joking around. Please wake up!" Jason repeatedly yelled at the lifeless body in his arms, yet no response came.Jason did not mind one bit. He pressed his face against hers, lik
