Edie didn't make any sound. She felt so bitter at the throat. She felt so painful.
Hearing these words, Stuart placed his hands on her small hands to protect her from the coldness.
Then he opened his mouth and said with determination,
"Yes, indeed, it is so dangerous. But I won't let you die. Never."
These words.
Were the most brutal words for Edie.
Stuart said he would not let her die.
So... he would die.
Edie's heart started aching so hard that she felt it so difficult to breathe.
After quite a while, she managed to say words, "So....you are going to sacrifice yourself, right? Don't lie to me. Don't hide this from me. Don't comfort me. I should prepare for this. If you really leave me alone, what should I do? I should prepare for this."
She said in a hoarse voice. The cold wind blew into her throat like hundreds of thousands of sharp needles inserting into her throat.
Stuart wanted to turn around to wipe her tears. But Edie refused him.
