Hearing that, Jasmine turned to look at Gerald with some hesitation.
It was only a moment later when he realized that the only cruel and arrogant young master was now completely giving up on Gerald.
“I'm sorry for all the mistakes I made! I'm really sorry!” chester said as he repeatedly lowered his head until his forehead touched the ground.
While she originally wanted to kill him, after seeing how pitiful he was, Jasmine simply replied, “...No need to apologize to me any further... Instead, you should apologize to those you have hurt. After all, while my family made it through this terrifying experience without accident, it didn't happen to any other family, then I'll let Gerald make the final decision! His words will be as good as mine!”
After saying that, Jasmine then turned to look at Gerald.
Women are like this sometimes. While Jasmine is first unsure if she is really in love with Gerald, when she first begins to rely on him somewhat, she is almost certain that he is truly in love with her.
From then on, Jasmine had kept those feelings for him in her heart.
It is no mystery why girls in distress who are saved by heroes usually end up falling in love with them. Jasmine realizes that she has also realized the role of the girl after being saved by Gerald many times when she needed him the most. With him constantly bearing his weight, he naturally grew to have great dependency, admiration, and trust in Gerald because of how good his impression was on him.
Quickly capturing the underlying message of Jasmine's words, Gerald felt his heart skip a beat. After all, he knew he couldn't reciprocate his feelings.
Anyway, after hearing that, Chester — who realized that he had now erased all his sins — crawled towards Gerald before kneeling down and saying, “Thank you for allowing me to fulfill my wish, Mr. Crawford... I now have no regrets anymore.. You can kill me now..!”.
"Please state your wish, Mr Crawford!" chester said as he looked at Gerald with gratitude.
“You know, I'm trying to find the king of the ocean palace, and right now I need help. Because you are proficient in turtle breathing techniques and bone crushing techniques, I'm sure you'll be a helper who will be able to survive under the sea for some time... Are you willing to help?” ask Gerald.
“Of course I'm willing to stay by your side and work for you, Mr. Crawford! Eventually, I will be able to live like a normal person!” chester replied who was surprised but very happy almost instantly.
"Think carefully before answering... Are you really sure that you are willing to give up your identity as a young master?" ask Gerald again.
"Without doubt!" chester replied without hesitation.
After all, after Gerald listened to her pour out her heart, he even helped her resolve the guilt that had plagued her mind for a long time! While Chester was already very grateful to her for that, to think that Gerald would even consider saving his life now!
There was something special about Gerald that made Chester so moved, though he couldn't be sure what it was. After all, Chester felt that as long as he was on Gerald's side, he would be able to sense that he hadn't wasted his entire life on this planet to date.
"Very good. Then you will come to the palace of the king of the seas with me. Speaking of which, I also want you to investigate whether there was a connection between the woman in white who saved you back then and the person I was looking for.” Gerald said with a slight nod.
