A Lifetime With You

Chapter 27

Ava couldn’t see anything. She could only hear the sound of the blood from the cut on her wrist dripping into some kind of container. “Ava, I want you to know how it feels like to bleed until the blood in your body runs dry. I wonder how it’s like.” Beth sneered and said beside her ear. The cut on her wrist was excruciatingly painful. Her limbs were tied up and numb. All she could hear was the sound of her blood dripping non-stop. If this continued, she was afraid that she would die of blood loss in less than an hour. Beth’s expression was hideous as she laughed. Beth obviously couldn’t wait to see Ava die with her own eyes. “Ava, have you ever heard of this experiment? A person was blindfolded, and a small cut was made on his wrist.

Together with the sound of her blood dripping, Ava felt a chill run down her spine. “Hahaha… My dear sister, why don’t you guess if you’re really bleeding or if I’m just scaring you?” Ava bit her lower lip.

He didn’t even spare her a glance as he walked away indifferently. Ava remembered that it happened a long time ago, when she was in high school. She never believed in falling in love at first sight. But even though she managed to escape being smashed by the basketball, she couldn’t escape falling head over heels for this boy. Just like in many shojo mangas, whenever girls fall in
