Chapter 15
Noah was furious and said, “Shawn, are you crazy? You used to deliberately get close to Hannah, deceive her, tor- ment her, and even find so many substitutes for Brielle. We all turned a blind eye and tolerated it. You don’t even like Hannah, so why are you forcing her to stay by your side now?”
“This was her own idea, she is no longer here, do you still want to keep her trapped by your side and continue to tor- ment her?”
“Not… Shawn moved his lips, explaining with a pale face.”
His heart was also in turmoil, unable to understand, but the only thing he knew for sure was that he did not want to see her turn into a handful of ashes, disappearing forever before his eyes.
Keep her, at least she could still accompany him forever.
They never parted ways.
Jasmin, however, did not want to continue to pull, so she directly broke his fingers one by one.
“If not, then let Hannah go free!”
“Do you want to force her to stay by your side, do you want to see her rot and stink? Or do you want to soak her in foul-smelling medicine? You know she loves beauty the most, hates the smell of medicine the most, do you want to let her die without peace?”
“We are her parents, we also don’t want to cremate her, don’t want to see her disappear, but there is no other way…”
Jasmin sighed deeply with a bitter heart and wiped away her tears.
Yes, there was no way.
Shawn’s heart ached intensely as his hand slowly dropped, watching helplessly as they took Hannah away.
He followed behind them in silence.
A body was cremated into ashes, which took only a few hours.
The high temperature furnace crackled and popped, but Shawn couldn’t help but think, in the past she was so afraid of pain alone, if she knew she was now burned to ashes, she must be very scared.
His eyes were red, staring fixedly at the incinerator, his heart twisted like a knife.
When Noah and Jasmin walked over holding a small urn, a loud bang echoed in his mind, and his heart felt like it had been forcibly hollowed out, with the wind rushing in and causing excruciating pain.
“Hannah, you are really ruthless. You went to find your older brother and Brielle, leaving the rest of us behind. How

are we supposed to be happy?”
“Without you, how could we have been happy?”
Shawn gently touched the urn and let out a deep sigh.

Finally, he earnestly pleaded with Noah and Jasmin, “Hannah was also my wife. I would like to take a small handful of her ashes with me, to keep by my side, to give me a chance to remember her.”
Noah and Jasmin, although reluctant, hesitated for a long time, but eventually agreed.
“You must cherish Hannah’s ashes, even if you don’t love her, don’t torture her. She is innocent, she has suffered enough pain in her lifetime, she really can’t bear anymore.”
Shawn nodded, “Don’t worry, I didn’t know how to, I didn’t hate her that much.”
He carefully took a small handful of ashes, sealed them in a plastic bag, placed them in an old amulet, and wore it close to his heart.
Upon seeing the amulet, Noah and Jasmin were momentarily stunned, feeling a mix of emotions.
Hannah used to get a talisman for both of their families, but she stubbornly didn’t get one for Shawn.
He was a little angry, so the next day he forcibly dragged Hannah up the mountain. She refused to get him the amulet of peace, so he blocked her way and wouldn’t let her go down the mountain.
In the end, Hannah couldn’t resist any longer and had to plead with him as well.
At that time, they used to laugh at how childish the two children were, arguing over trivial matters for a long time and never stopping the commotion.
It’s hard to believe that so many years have passed, and Shawn still wears that amulet around his neck.
Even their parents may not be able to find the amulet of peace that was there at that time.
Perhaps, over the years, he was not as indifferent as he appeared, nor did he despise Hannah as much.
He may not have even realized it himself, but he didn’t like Brielle that much, and he might have actually developed feelings for Hannah. He just wasn’t willing to admit it.
