Cyrus, the original male lead of this story, has always cared for me as a brother next door since we were kids. His rushed footsteps and an urgent voice reached me,
"Serena has been found. A rival of Azure family did this."
"What?" Darius's voice shook.
The following dialogue faded from my hearing.
Feeling light, my soul seemed to ascend. I almost felt my parents' embrace before a strong pull dragged me back.
As I opened my eye,I saw the hospital's white ceiling.I was still within this body.
"You're awake?" A soft male voice came from beside me.I turned my head and met Cyrus's concerned gaze.
He was wearing a white shirt, with silver-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.As the male lead of this book, he naturally carries an air of cool elegance without
much adornment.
Yet, my focus lay elsewhere. All that occupies my thoughts is one thing:“Death”
"Why am I not dead?" Disappointment laced my words.
Cyrus, who was peeling an apple for me as I spoke, froze upon hearing my words.
He sighed after a while.He put down the apple and came forward to tuck me in.
He looked down at me tenderly and said. "I've cleared things up with them. Darius is not here because he is guilty of what he had done to you.They're the ones who owe you an apology. Let's get over this." he reassured me.
He stroked my head, saying, "I will always be there for you."
I couldn't help but smirk under the blanket after I heard what he said. " But, your girlfriend always misleads others to believe that I was responsible for this. Shouldn't she apologize to me publicly?"
Cyrus's expression froze. He can't give me a answer this time.
