Keira couldn't accept that Jace was gone. That he had chosen to leave like this.
Even though he said it was his way of taking responsibility for himself, she couldn't reconcile it.
And his illness? Keira knew nothing about it....
No!
She had noticed. The blood he coughed up in front of her, the nosebleeds, the repeated hospital stays, his
increasingly thin frame-these were all signs.
But she ignored them. She didn't care enough, didn't pay attention enough, and brushed it all aside.
Though the romantic love between Jace and Keira had long since faded, he remained one of the most important
people in her life. He was her family.
He was there as she grew up, bringing her warm sugar water when she had her first period, standing up for her
and kicking bullies away without hesitation.

Jace wasn't just a past lover. He was the person who witnessed her youth, shared her
and taught her how to navigate life.

And now, he had slipped out of her world without a word, without even a proper goodbye.
Facing his absence, Keira suddenly felt unworthy of even shedding tears. If she had cared just a little more, paid
more attention, she might have noticed something was wrong. She could've spent more twith him. But it
was too late now. No amount of regret or self-reproach would bring him back. Jace
was gone.
"Master Gregory hadn't been eating much recently. | saw him cough up blood a few times... He never took
medicine, though. | think he had already made up his mind," said one of the monks who had practiced alongside
Jace.
It was true. In going through Jace's belongings, Keira found no medication, no clues about his illness. He had
hidden everything from her.
He probably didn't want her to know.
But how could she be so blind?
Keira called Lena. The moment she heard her voice, she broke down. "Lena, Jace is gone."
"What?" Lena sounded stunned.
"He's gone. He had a serious illness, and | didn't even know..." her voice dissolved into Chapter 900
sobs.

Hayden gently took the phone from her, explaining the situation to Lena and sharing her thoughts. "Lena, we
want to know what his illness was. Can you help us find out?"
After hanging up, Hayden held Keira tightly, letting her cry uncontrollably in his arms. Lena arrived quickly, and
with her cNate. When she saw her, Keira collapsed again, unable to hold back the flood of emotions. Lena
hugged her, her own eyes red with tears. "That Jace really did a number on you," she said, her voice trembling
with grief masked as anger. "Even in death, he's made you suffer."
Keira knew she wasn't truly blaming him. She was struggling to accept his loss too.

Even though Lena had despised him for betraying her in the past, she couldn't hold onto that anger now that he
was gone.
And honestly, there was nothing to hate. Jace hadn't done anything unforgivable he had simply lost his way in
love.
In their hearts, they had already forgiven him long ago. But none of them ever said it to him. And now, he had
taken away the chance for them to reconcile fully, leaving them with lingering regret.
Nate handed Hayden a copy of Jace's medical records. The diagnosis hit Keira like a hammer: late-stage liver
cancer.
"He didn't undergo a single day of treatment," Nate said quietly. "After the diagnosis, he refused medication and
never went back for follow-ups."
"He knew how terrifying this illness was," Lena added gently, sitting beside Keira. "So he chose not to prolong his
suffering. This was his way of protecting himself."
Her words were meant to comfort Keira, but they only deepened the ache in her chest. Jace had endured so
much in silence. His decision to leave, while calm and deliberate, left her grappling with the weight of his
absence and the love she could no longer express.
