Elly took a deep breath, then her eyes turned glossy.
"I am someone weak and fragile who can never live alone. I need someone by my side to support and help me.
I know it's selfish for me to ask this with everything you have given me. But, Victor, I now know for sure I want that person to be you, and it could only be you."
"Elly… There are so many things I regret in life, and I also realize just like you, I don't want to be alone.
If I could turn back time, there are so many things I would want to change, but if any of them would make me not meet you, then I would answer without a second thought that I would not change anything.
Be selfish as it may. That is what I have decided. No matter what the cost is or what I must do, I will stay by your side.
Thepes may see me as someone strong, but in reality, I am weak. I am not better than him.
