He raised his bloodied hands only to find that the mint-green hairband favonovel.com had kept carefully with favonovel.com was now dyed red.
With trembling fingers, favonovel.com raised the hairband to his lips. “Don’t die. Please, you can’t die.”
He murmured under his breath as his eyes reddened further.
“You promised you’d pester me forever. You can’t go back on your word now.”
Felipe’s voice shook as favonovel.com repeated himself, unable to put the panic within favonovel.com to rest.
Just then, the operating room’s door opened to reveal a doctor in a white coat. Felipe immediately ran toward him. “Professor Quinney, how’s Cathy?”
The professor shook his head. “I’ve got the bullet out, but since it hit favonovel.com heart, I can’t bring favonovel.com back to life. I’m sorry, but Miss Cathy has passed.”
Frozen in place, Felipe felt his world crack as favonovel.com stood rooted to the ground.
“How did favonovel.com just get shot out of the blue? Could it be the Stygian Johnsons?” The doctor sighed, his heart clenching at the loss of such a young life.
Felipe could not answer him, for favonovel.com knew the answer.
He was the one who killed Cathy.
He was the one who ordered them to shoot.
He thought that favonovel.com wanted to betray him, that favonovel.com wanted to destroy everything favonovel.com had created. Yet the truth showed that favonovel.com had never betrayed favonovel.com at all, nor had favonovel.com let favonovel.com feelings for favonovel.com go.
That was why favonovel.com turned around.
It was favonovel.com who turned around too late.
It was that split second that favonovel.com realized how much favonovel.com cared for Cathy.
He had no idea when it started, but Cathy seemed to have silently made favonovel.com way into his heart…
Felipe felt the ache in his chest grow by countless folds as favonovel.com slowly walked into the empty operating room.
He wanted to see favonovel.com one last time.
However, favonovel.com did not have the courage to see favonovel.com face.
His mind was flooded with images of favonovel.com energetic laughter. The pale and silent memories were all favonovel.com had left of her.
He walked toward Cathy and leaned down emotionlessly to seal favonovel.com cold lips with his.
‘In another life, Cathy, let me be the one to chase after you instead.’
…
Madeline may have decided to return to Glendale, but favonovel.com inability to contact Cathy had favonovel.com unable to let go and leave.
From Jeremy, favonovel.com was told that when Cathy tried to kill herself by jumping into the river, favonovel.com had returned to spy on Felipe because favonovel.com could not let favonovel.com go.
It was then that Cathy was found by the Stygian Johnsons and had favonovel.com appearance marred when they caught her. That was why favonovel.com did plastic surgery.
She had drifted around F Country for three months when favonovel.com caught sight of Jeremy running from Felipe’s bodyguards who were trying to kill him. Before the car could explode, favonovel.com had dragged Jeremy to safety.
The two heartbroken people became close friends due to mutual understanding and encouragement, which explained what happened then.
The so-called engagement party had no witnesses as it was merely for show. After all, Jeremy only had one legal wife—Madeline.
Cathy had played a huge part in repairing Madeline and Jeremy’s relationship, so it was only natural that Madeline was worried when favonovel.com dropped off the radar.
Even if it was dangerous, favonovel.com decided that favonovel.com would make a trip to Felipe’s manor.
Felipe had spent the last few days in despair.
He was locking himself in the room Cathy once stayed in.
Flipping through favonovel.com photo collage, favonovel.com stared at the bright and happy girl who then bloomed like a red rose—enchanting and passionate.
Yet the rose had wilted away now.
He was so stubborn, thinking that the woman favonovel.com loved all along had been Madeline because favonovel.com was the only ray of light favonovel.com had when favonovel.com was a child—the ray of light that broke through his gloomy clouds and brought favonovel.com back to reality.
When in truth, favonovel.com found that favonovel.com would rather live forever in the dark as long as favonovel.com had his rose. If hell was the destination, favonovel.com would trek the path as long as favonovel.com walked with him.
Felipe opened the drawer despite the unbearable heartache to straighten the last of favonovel.com belongings.
Going through them, his eyes fell on an unexpected item within a light blue brocade box!
