Chapter 7

In the end, Lily fainted from the emotional turmoil.

I floated into her hospital room, sitting quietly on the far couch and watching her. Strangely, I felt a kind of inexplicable satisfaction.

When I first had the accident, I had hoped she would quickly find me and bring me home. But then I watched with my own eyes as she cut out my heart and put it in Ethan's body, and later showed such indifference to my disappearance.

For the first time, I truly understood what it meant for one's heart to turn to ashes.

People often say that even raising a dog for a long time will create emotional attachment. But Lily was truly heartless towards me.

Then again, she didn't love me, so of course she could be so cold.

Lost in thought, Ethan entered the room. Still in his hospital gown, he sat by the bed looking haggard and nervous.

Soon after, Lily woke up.

"Lily! You're finally awake." Ethan said excitedly, throwing himself onto Lily and choking up, "I know his sudden death is hard for you to accept right now."

"But if you think about it, this is actually a good thing! There won't be any more obstacles between us."

"My illness was cured because of Adam's death. You should be happy for me!"

Lily didn't answer Ethan. She suddenly shoved him away, throwing off her blanket and stumbling towards the door.

Seeing this, Ethan quickly got up and grabbed Lily, anxiously asking: "Where are you going?!"

"I'm going home..." she mumbled, walking out on her own, still muttering, "Adam is waiting for me at home."

"If I don't go back soon he'll definitely get angry and ignore me."

Hearing her words, Ethan's face went white. He let go of Lily's hand in shock.
