She is Still Alive

The kiss was completely unexpected.

She was dumbfounded. She couldn't make any sense of Max's actions.

Her mind was a blank. She just stared at Max in wide-eyed shock. 

Max kissed her with unusual fervor. It was rough and unrestrained as if absorbing her into himself. 

This lasted for over two minutes.

Just as she was about to run out of breath, he released her.

Mary's body had been stiff throughout. Max had a tight hold of her waist and chin.

"You lied yesterday, right? Being in a coma, having amnesia. All that you mentioned yesterday were all because of Jason. You wanted to hide him from me, right?"

Max spoke in a hoarse voice. He was confident that he was right.

Mary didn't explain. She thought there was no need to.

Her son was already four years old. She had raised him by herself for four years. During all those years, she hadn't gone out with any man.
