Even Ethan's simple question came off as arrogant and domineering as if he were invincible despite being an injured man on the verge of collapse.
Lily looked at him, seeing his weakness while still trying to hold himself together. Tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.
Sometimes, she really didn't understand his thinking. At a time like this, he was still asking such a question. His behavior was always so extreme, so terrifying... He didn't even care about his own body.
"I asked if you love me?!" Not hearing her answer, Ethan pressed again, his voice filled with relentless determination. "Is it because you love me that you're staying?!"
He needed an answer today.
He wanted her to stay willingly, never leave again, and to have all of his love.
He would not allow her heart to grow cold. He absolutely wouldn't.
"I love you! I love you, Ethan! Did you hear that?!" Lily cried out loud.
