Chapter 4

Chloe's face turned ugly,

"Everything you did for me was voluntary. I just said a few words, and you want to bring up old scores to emotionally blackmail me?"

I suddenly felt very tired.

When she scolded me in front of others, saying I was reaching above my station, I thought if only I tried a little harder.

When she flirted with other guys, I thought it was because I wasn't capable enough to make her look up to me.

Later, when my career took off and I finally had the qualifications to be with her, she was sometimes aloof, sometimes sweet-talking. I thought it was because I hadn't given her enough sense of security, so I wanted to give her everything I had.

In the past, no matter how she treated me, I could always find a reason.

But this time.

I couldn't find one.

If she knew I was going to die, what would her attitude be?

Would she have even a hint of regret?

How long would she regret?

After the regret, would she think she could finally be with her childhood sweetheart openly?

My stomach hurt badly.

I wasn't resigned to dying like this.

Even if just for a moment, I wanted her to feel the same pain I felt.
