Melody never expected Dashiell to respond like this. Tears fell from her eyes in quick succession, like a fragile little white flower.
Suddenly, Dashiell noticed the ring on Melody's wrist. He stepped forward and gently held her wrist.
"Aria, so you're still alive. If it weren't for our wedding ring still being here, I would have almost been fooled by you."
"Your acting has improved now, haha. Are you jealous of Melody and deliberately acting like this to make me jealous? It's okay, I'll play along with you."
Melody's eyes widened in horror, unable to believe that she had become my substitute.
"Dashiell, open your eyes and look carefully at who I really am!"
But Dashiell was lost in his own world, gently caressing Melody's bandaged face.
"Aria, you rest well. I won't go looking for Melody anymore. Let's live our life together properly."
"You're crazy! I'm Melody! I'm not Aria, I don't want to be a substitute!"
