Love Her to No End

Chapter 23 A Complex Agenda

“Why did you save me? Why didn’t you let me die?”

Meanwhile, Zack was attempting to pull the emotional Lucille into his embrace. His towering back had hidden the expression on his face from view. However, one could still hear his trembling voice ring out. “Why were you so foolish to take your life so lightly? Lucille, you shouldn’t have done that!”

Just an hour ago, Zack had received Lucille’s message. In addition to a photo of her lying in the bathtub, there was also a worded message.

it wasn’t a long one, but every word was filled with conviction.

She wrote: Zack, I didn’t realize that loving you would result in such devastating consequences. If someone needs to take responsibility for what happened, I’m willing to be that person. All I wish for is to meet you again in my next life. Is that all right?

Realizing something was amiss, Zack called Lucille’s phone, but no one answered. Finally, he found clues from the photo that lead him to the hotel Lucille was in.

On the way to the hotel, he called for the ambulance. Even then, the doctor told him that they had just gotten to Lucille in the nick of time. Or else, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

When he saw Lucille’s ashen face, Zack was filled with regret.

Ever since their affair was exposed a few days ago, Zack hadn’t contacted Lucille at all. Moreover, he didn’t even reply to the messages she sent to apologize and show concern for him.

Nonetheless, it never crossed his mind that Lucille would unilaterally take responsibility for the matter. Because of that, he was unable to let her go.

His warm hug caused Lucille to curl the corner of her lips. As tears welled up in her eyes, they gushed out like water that had burst its dam even before she said a word.

“Zack, leave me. I’m too embarrassed to face you or even Michaela and my parents. In fact, I don’t even dare to go back home or out in public. Other than death, I have no other way out. Since everything is my fault, I will be the one to bear it. Zack, you should just leave and forget about me!”
