"Miss Bennett, leukemia isn't that serious. If you want, we can cure you."
Seeing my resolute appearance, they were puzzled.
"Isn't there anyone in this world who loves you or whom you love?"
Hearing this, I smiled.
"There is."
"It's just that now, the person I love is intimately entwined with someone else right in front of me, my mom thinks keeping me alive is a waste of money, and my dad has already prepared a coffin for me..."
For a moment, they fell silent.
After a while, they said I was foolish.
But I replied, "Because I'm guilty, I've let everyone down."
To atone, I made a will, leaving my assets to them.
I thought they would be overjoyed after my death.
But I never expected that when they learned of my death, they would go mad with remorse, begging for my return.

After a long moment, he slowly turned his head.


Tears streamed down his face, the cold wind unable to dry them.


I looked Zoran straight in the eye, unwavering.


Zoran seemed as if his very soul had been sucked out of him. After a long while, he asked me in a hoarse voice.


"What about all those happy memories we shared?"


"The pain you've caused me runs far deeper than any happiness you ever gave me."


"Let go, Zoran. It's best for both of us if we part ways and find our own happiness."
