Chapter 769 Be Immortal for both of us!

Jacob looked at Mr. V and then young Hope with disbelief before a frown appeared on his face because his memories about the Zodiac Plains were completely intact; in fact, he clearly remembered suddenly being hit by something ghastly that made his entire soul tremble before he fell into darkness.

Furthermore, it wasn't like he had experienced something like this before; it had happened previously. Still, it seemed too real to be just a lucid dream or illusion, yet at the same time, he felt that he didn't belong in this place anymore.

At this moment, Mr. V frowned with dissatisfaction as he replied, "You're calling me Mr. V again? I thought we were pass that long ago. Call me teacher or Viktoras unless you still consider me a stranger."

Jacob's mind reeled as he heard that familiar stern tone, containing a tingle of care for him: 'How long had it been since I heard Mr. V's voice? I almost forgot about how he sounds...' His eyes were filled with reminiscence and rare sadness.

"Hmph, you had punched me so hard. If it was me, I would've also not acknowledged you!" Hope was already snapped out of her daze at this moment as she playfully snickered and made her way towards Jacob.

Jacob trembled slightly as he heard her mischievous voice filled with concern, just as he remembered. When she got closer, he felt the same warm presence, which was like warm sunlight for someone who lived in eerie darkness.

Mr. V, or Viktoras, snorted at this daughter's jab, but he was still looking at Jacob with a faint frown, as he could feel Jacob was reacting differently than usual.

"Are you alright, JS?" Hope crouched down to Jacob as she moved her hand with a towel to clean Jacob's blood with a hint of anticipation in her eyes for some reason.

However, what happened next shocked both Viktoras and Hope again as her hand paused, because unlike usual, Jacob didn't shun away or take the towel from Hope's hand and let her touch him and clean his blood as he looked at her with tender eyes completely opposite to his impassive glare.

Jacob then suddenly moved his hand as he gently grabbed Hope's hand and began to get up from the ground. Hope followed suit while Jacob never broke his eye contact with those mesmerizing blue eyes, and the normally fierce and playful Hope suddenly blushed.

"Hope, I've never given you what you truly deserve. You were too good for someone like me. Your love and care were wasted on me, who always ran after his ambitions and dreams. Yet you still put up with everything, no matter the circumstances.

"W-what are you doing?" She asked, trying to calm her wildly beating heart as Jacob was still holding her hand.

Jacob suddenly broke into a rare smile as he gently said, "I don't know if it's real or not; I don't care because I know it's not. In fact, I should thank you for making me live at this moment again and giving me a chance to meet her again, even if it's not real.

"For JS, the love of life:

"As shadows creep and life begins to fade, My spirit wanes, a fragile masquerade.

"Yet, fear not, my love, for in your heart I'll stay, A flicker of hope, your guiding ray.

"I'll dwell in whispers of the wind's soft sigh, In sunlight dancing, a mote caught in the sky.

"Feel me in the warmth of a summer's kiss, And in the tranquility of winter's bliss.

"Though flesh may wither and my spirit flees, Love's ember burns eternally for thee.

"In your every heartbeat, a part of me resides, A silent echo of where passion abides.

"So grieve not dear, for I am not alone, My essence lingers, a whispered tone.

"Within your soul, our love will find its art, And thus, my love, we'll never be apart.

"Together, forever, our spirits entwined, In memories cherished, peace of mind.

"So live on bravely, with courage and with grace, And let my love fills your life's empty space.

"For in your heart, a part of me will be, Immortal love, just you and me.

"So be immortal for both of us, for wherever you are, there I shall be!

"...your Hope!"
