She thought that after experiencing such a deep and unforgettable secret love, she would never be able to fall in love with someone else easily.
Thus, her three years of studying abroad were also three years of loneliness.
There had been no news of the sickly person since Gem got married.
She couldn't return to River State until the issue with the sickly person was resolved.
However, in the third year, she fell ill – severely ill.
Illness meant death.
Going back to River State also meant death.
Since either choice led to death, she wanted to die by the side of the person she loved most.
With only three months left to live, she resolutely returned to her home country.
Though she knew that Gem and Viola were deeply in love, she hoped – please forgive her selfishness – that she could make the last three months of her life extraordinarily beautiful by experiencing a passionate love affair, even if it was an unrequited love.
