be stuck in his chest.
“You want me to stop caring about you?”
Ava swallowed hard. “Yeah, that doesn’t suit your temperament. So, stop being nice in front of me.”
“Okay, sorry if | disturb you. From now on, | won''t care about you
anymore. So take care of yourself properly. At least eat even if you don''t feel hungry.”
Ava sighed in disbelief. Every word that came out of Jeremy''s mouth felt like a needle in her heart. Not wanting to hear anything
else, she continued walking. This time, she really wanted to disappear from Jeremy. She didn’t want to care about him anymore.
However, as the night came, Jeremy''s image was still painted in Ava''s mind. While sitting on her knees on her bed, she kept
looking at the clock. In her heart, she wondered.
Had Jeremy taken the pills? Was he asleep now? Sleep forever?
Imagining it, her body trembled. While hugging herself, Ava started biting her nails.
“Does he hate me? Will he haunt me?”
Ava’s jaw moved faster. With those thick eye bags and slightly messy hair, she looked terrible.
“Then what will his family do to me? They will curse at me? They will throw stones at me? Including the children?”
Unable to deal with the voices in her mind, Ava covered her ears. Her eyes were also tightly shut.
At that moment, Jeremy''s smile appeared in her memory, and also his awkwardness every time he asked how she was doing,
his sincere gaze when giving her the dressst night.

Suddenly, Ava started sobbing. Folding her arms on her knees, Ava hid her face again.
“I''m an evil. He was always nice to me, but | killed him instead.”
Feeling short of breath, Ava started pounding her chest. She raised her face to inhale. Unintentionally, her eyes crossed the two
pills on the table. Suddenly, an idea appeared, stopping her crying.
“Wait. Jeremy doesn''t have to die. He just has to pretend.”
Ava’s eyes began to radiate hope. Her back straightened.
“Yes! He can''t take those pills!”
After wiping her eyes, Ava got up and grabbed the pills on the table. Holding it, she ran to his room.
“Jeremy, are you asleep? | have something to talk about.” Ava
knocked on the door hastily. Her heart was pounding.
Luckily, the door opened. However, the face that appeared was not friendly.
“What do you want to talk about?” Jeremy asked dryly.
Ava had some difficulty catching her breath. Before she could open her mouth, Jeremy interrupted, “You''re not the only one busy,
Miss. Connor. So am I. Instead of wasting my time wandering around like this, you should just go.”
Jeremy was about to close the door. Ava quickly pushed it back.
“Wait! | have something to exin to you. Can |e in?”
Jeremy''s eyebrows knitted together. After a short contemtion, he shook his head. “You are nothing to me and | don’t care
about you anymore. So, good night.”
“Wait! Jeremy..."

Ava tried to push the door, but she realized that Jeremy was stronger. The only way she could think of was to slip through the
remaining
gap.
However, just as she slipped her finger in, she reflexively withdrew her hand and screamed in pain.
“Ahh.... Engh,” Ava waved her hand before grasping her injured finger. Her tears clotted to hold back the pain.
Meanwhile, behind the door, Jeremy stood pensive. His eyebrows knitted together, his breath rumbling. “Did her fingers get
jammed?”
Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. “Jeremy, please open the door.” Ava’s voice was shaky and a little hoarse.
Jeremy could not bear to ignore her. He finally met her again. “What is it?" he asked curtly.
However, seeing the blood on her fingers, he froze. His breathing became heavier. His heart was pounded with guilt.
“Please, | need to talk to you. It''s important,” Ava groaned as she hid her hands behind her waist.
Jeremy studied her. “What do you want to talk about?”
“I can’t talk about it here. Please let me in.” Ava lowered her voice.
“You want to go into the room of a man who is not your friend?”
Ava sighed tiredly. “Okay, I''m sorry, | admit it was my mistake. I ........ "
Ava gasped because Jeremy had grabbed her hand. His expression. was still fierce, but Ava felt that the impression was
different.
“Let''s treat your hand first.” He pulled Ava in then told her to sit in a chair near the wooden table.

“Shut up.”
Ava held back her words. Her eyes fell on how Jeremy furrowed his
brows.
“Your fingers are bleeding and shaking like this, you still say it''s okay?
Very carefully, Jeremy cleaned the wound.
“Ahh
“It hurts?” Jeremy patiently fanned the wound he had just applied alcohol to. Ava’s eyes filled with tears watching it.
“Why do you care about me so much?”
“Because | still consider you a friend,” Jeremy said, hal tering. His focus was more on the red medicine in his hand.
“That''s all? A friend?”
Jeremy raised his gaze. Looking at the pale face covered in en
he tilted his head slightly. “You want more?”
“It seems impossible that there is a man as good as you, a man wh always cares about a friend like me. I''m a bad person.
There''s no benefit in you being good to me.”
Jeremy snorted. While treating the wound, he spoke in a small voice.” I''m not doing this for you, but for myself.”
“What does it mean?” Ava inquired stiffly.

Jeremy blinked sadly. “Yes. That''s why | was very angry when you rejected my concern earlier.”
