Chapter 7 Author:Yuu_FruityFruits The puddles on the sidewalk reflected her frail body, drenched by the pounding rain until she looked as pale as a corpse.
Her chest felt constricted, a metallic taste rising and filling her entire mouth.
With a splash, blood spilled into the pooled water, quickly spreading before disappearing without a trace.
Her body gradually lost its warmth, her breathing becoming shallower.
She kept whispering Duncans name: Duncan… Duncan… Before the last syllable could fall, Audrey collapsed in the rain.
In her hazy vision, she thought she saw a familiar silhouette appear before her, but when she tried to focus, everything blurred.
Was that Duncan? Two days later, Audrey woke up in a hospital room with only Josh by her side.
On the nightstand lay two plane tickets to Zurich.
Josh couldnt bear to watch Audrey torture herself like this.
That man wasnt worth it.
Josh held Audreys hand, his voice as gentle as a concerned father.
Audrey, please.
Come with me to Switzerland for treatment.
She pulled her hand away, staring blankly at the ceiling.
Josh, let go of your obsession.
You deserve someone who can love you back.
Obsession? Hah, you have yours, and I have mine.
Youre willing to give up your life just to stay by Duncans side.
How am I any different? The woman he loved didnt love him back but loved someone else.
He was destined for unrequited love in this lifetime.
But that couldnt stop his feelings, could it? Audrey tightly closed her eyes.
Josh was right; her obsession was Duncan.
She cared about his attitude toward her, every look he gave her, every word he said.
She didnt want to leave this world with his hatred, no matter the cost.
Josh looked at Audreys face, now so gaunt it was barely larger than his palm, and felt his heart breaking.
He had tried to persuade her countless times, and now he was at a loss for words.
Josh, give up.
I dont have much time left.
In this life, I cant walk out of his world because he is my world now.
I dont want him to hate me.
He is my heart, my air, my everything.

Without him, I cant live for a moment, not even a second.
She didnt want to cry in front of Josh or have him pity her, but she couldnt help it.
Her heart ached so badly, as if it were being corroded by acid, inch by inch.
Josh watched her cry and started crying too.
Alright, just this once.
Ill help you bring him here to listen to your explanation.
I hope that after hearing it, he wont hate you anymore.
Audrey looked at Josh with red-rimmed eyes, weakly saying, Josh, you dont have to do this.
Go back, leave.
This isnt your place.
Josh stood up and walked out, his back to Audrey.
Wherever you are is where I belong.
My heart and my body follow you.
Audrey, I love you.
Even if you love Duncan, you cant cruelly stop me from loving you.
Loving you is my choice; I wont force you to reciprocate.
In the CEOs office of Quartet Enterprises on Wall Street, Josh looked at Duncan, who was engrossed in his work, with eyes as fierce as a wolfs.
Go see her.
Duncan, buried in a pile of financial reports and with no intention of acknowledging Josh, suddenly threw his pen onto the mahogany desk upon hearing Joshs words.
Who are you to demand anything from me? On what grounds? Duncans eyes were cold, the veins at his temples pulsing visibly.
Audrey betrayed me, and now shes begging for my forgiveness.
Does she think the whole world revolves around her? Joshs lips curled into a cold smile, his hands tightly clenched into fists.
Mr.
Millington thinks she betrayed you because of the tabloids baseless rumors about her eloping with me when she left? You condemned her without even giving her a chance to explain.
Youre too cruel.
