She hasn't seen him in days. His brows were knitted together to form a deep line on his forehead, his voice alone told her just how exhausted he was. "Sabrina, I... didn't want to stay in Kidon City so I came back here t o South City. I haven't gone back to my place yet, I just wanted to check with you if Jane has..."
Alex wasn't suspicious regarding who Sabrina had been on the phone with earlier. He simply thought of going to Sabrina, because he knew that Jane would contact Sabrina if she was really left with no choice. Sabrina had been the one woman that Jane liked the most before.
"Mr. Poole." Sabrina cleared her throat and asked," Did...did you see Lily for the past few days you spent i n Kidon City?"
He nodded. "I did, but I've completely severed all ties with her, Sabrina. To be honest, we have been broken u p for ten years now, haven't we? She has nothing to do with me!"
Sabrina nodded. "I know, Mr. Poole, I know." She paused for a split second before continuing, "Listen to me, Mr. Poole, I feel like...Lily might have crossed the line with her actions so far, but it seems that she did it all simply because she loves you...it's possible that she sent people to beat Jane up time after time only because she loves you too much..."
Alex cut her off. "What are you trying to say, Sabrina?" "Actually...actually, Mr. Poole...Jane has always known you...Having been with you for so many years, she has always known that you have never loved her, s o she...maybe...maybe...she..." Sabrina summoned up the courage and blurted out, "Jane doesn't love you either!"
Alex stayed silent.
"What's the point of looking for her if the two of you don't love each other? Isn't it good enough to go your separate ways, start fresh and carry on with your lives?"
