I Will Die Before You

"Do you love me?"

This sentence echoed in Derek's ears and mind.

Five years ago in a midsummer, the girl, facing the sea, kept asking, "Do you love me?"

Derek was stunned and stiffened.

Serina stared at Derek back dazed.

She heard her heartbeat.

It was strong as if something hit the ground. Every strike was forceful.

She did not know if she was waiting for his reply.

Would he respond?

When Serina was hesitating, Derek opened the door and walked out.

Serina shed tears.

What did it mean if Derek didn't say anything?

After Serina tidied up her clothes, Hayden knocked on the door. He arranged a car to send her back to the Grand Apartment.

Serina sat in front of her computer writing novels the whole day and didn't go out. She only had a cup of noodles at noon.

She didn't feel hungry, because she was in a bad mood.
