Chapter 1497


    ?


    Lothar continued, "Before I graduated from university and when I was still a child, my mother took her own life by jumping off a building. Not only did I have to take care of myself, but I also had to care for my sister. We were a poor family. Do you know how I got through? Even when I was bullied and humiliated by others, I kept a smile on my face. It was all because I had no parents to rely on, and I needed money."


    "Later on, when I started my acting career, I was the pushover in the crew. Even the people who ranked below me bullied me. Everyone knew the fact that I was such a pushover. Even if I was humiliated all over, I would only smile and brush it off. Do you know why?"


    He looked at Essie.


    She felt a her throat tightened and she couldn''t say anything.


    Then, heughed. "Because I knew I couldn''t afford to offend anyone. If I did, there would be no roles for me to film. Without any roles, I won''t be able to earn any money. My sister was hospitalized at that time. No matter how bad the bullying got, I had to endure it all. It was just like the time when my mother passed away. I went to every rtive''s ce to borrow money. But none of them were willing to help. One of them got mad in the end because I kept begging and clinging to them. He threw a stack of cash to the floor. Then, he asked me to kneel on the ground and pick them up. I had no choice. I could throw my life away, but my sister has to live!"


    "Later on, I met Selina. She is a kind person. She found a doctor to operate on my sister. She solved the greatest problem in my life for me. Do you know why I dropped out from being an actor? I offended Leonard, a supervisor of the crew. But why was I not afraid of offending him? It was because I had no more concerns in life, and it was all because of Selina. I could finally live with my head high because of her."


    His wordspletely shaken Essie.


    She had always thought that he was helping Selina because he had feelings for her.


    Even when he told her it was not the case before.


    But she guessed it was so.


    She didn''t expect that there was such a story behind it.


    He said, "Essie, I have been walking on eggshells my whole life. Let me free and be able to do what I want, for once. Even if you ask me if I would regret this, I really don''t know the answer. I am just doing


    this out of instinct. Just like when those people got me to kneel and pick up money from the ground like an animal. Even when my instinct told me I should have beaten him up, reality forced me to beg and obey. Do you know how much pain I was in back then? This is why I want to do what I want for once, and without a care for the world."


    Her eyes were red already.


    After he finished speaking, she said softly, "I understand, Lothar. I''ll help you."


    It was a full moon that day.


    And soon it was midnight.


    Essie asked Matthew, Tobias and Natalie to leave.


    Selina and Lothary on two beds.


    Essie gave each of them a ss of water, saying, "Drink this. You won''t feel painter. Otherwise, you would not be able to bear the pain of your chest being opened."


    Lothar downed the drink, but Selina did not.


    Her hand, which was holding the ss, was trembling nonstop.


    "Drink it," Essie said to her.


    Selina drew the ss to her lips, but she did not drink a sip. She ced the ss aside.


    Under Essie''splicated gaze, Selina got out of bed.


    She walked towards Lothar and said in a choked voice, "Lothar, if you regret it now, we can leave it here. You can do so many things even if you only have 15 days left. You can be with Yesseca and travel with her."


    "Selina, you''re really dumb." With that, Lothar sat up.


    He patted her on the head.


    This was the first time he had done something this intimate with her.


    In front of her, he had always been like a teenager.


    But this time, he was acting like a mature man.


    Lothar stared into Selina''s eyes, saying, "Didn''t I tell you already? If I don''t save you now, I would have to live the rest of my 15 days in pain. Do you want me to see Yesseca like this? It''s not that I''m doing this for you. You''re doing this for me. Promise me you''ll take Yesseca with you to travel the world after this surgery. Okay?"


    Selina''s eyes gradually turned red.


    After a while, she reached out her hand.


    He didn''t understand what she meant.


    "Lothar, give me your hand," she said in a hoarse voice.


    He stretched out his hand.


    And she grabbed it.


    Lothar felt as if an electric current passed through his hands and his entire body.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Selina looked at Lothar. "Lothar, promise me that we will still be friends in our next life. The best friends ever."

    He did not say anything.


    If there was a next life, he didn''t want to be just friends with her. If he were honest, he...


    Heughed bitterly in his heart.


    What was he thinking?


    Even if


    ere was another life, she


    would still be a noble youngdy et


    from a rich family, and he would still be a hustling, but poor, you


    man.


    Cindere would end up with Prince Charming.


    But there was no happy ending about a poor man marrying a princess.


    The most he could do was to stay beside the princess as her guard, and protect her forever.


    Just then, he replied, "I promise. If we get to live again, well still be friends."


    If there was another life, he would always stay by her side and protect her.


    This way, both of them could live a happy life.


    Hearing his words, Selina drank the ss of water.


    Then, shey back on the bed.


    After drinking the water, she was still sober. She could see the knife in Essie''s hand clearly.


    However, she chose to close her eyes.


    Tears started streaming down her face.


    Lothar kept his eyes open. He knew


    that his consciousness was a disappear. He wanted to see. world until hisst moment Content

    However, the scene in front of him slowly turned hazy.


    A smiling girl appeared in front of him.


    The girl was cute and beautiful.


    The first time he saw her photo, his heart kept pounding.


    He smiled.


    It turned out that time had passed in a blink of an eye.


    Lothar felt his eyelids growing heavier and heavier. He didn''t want to close them yet, but he could not fight the exhaustion.


    Slowly, he shut them close.


    As his consciousness was about to dissipate, he felt a teardrop sliding down his face.
