The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 12 Don’t Leave Tonight Stay With Me…

“Elsa…”

In the past, when Elsa coughed up blood, John would feel nothing but pain and worry.

But now, seeing the blood at the corner of her lips, he was filled with an unexplainable irritation that gnawed at him.

She didn’t look good at all.

Still, he didn’t go looking for Lily. Instead, he grabbed a tissue from the side table and carefully wiped the blood from her lips.

Elsa didn’t have much time left. John didn’t want to say anything harsh to her.

After a long silence, he furrowed his brows and finally said, “This is the last time. Don’t ever do something like this again. I promised I’d stay with you until the end, and I will. But Lily is my girlfriend. I won’t stand by while she gets slandered and hurt.”

Lily is his girlfriend…

Elsa’s long fingernails dug viciously into her palm, breaking the tender skin.

She hated sharing anything with anyone–especially the man she loved the most.

But she knew that no amount of hysteria could win back his heart.

The proud and icy rose finally lowered her head and murmured softly, “John, I’m sorry for causing trouble. I never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted you to care about me a little more… to spend more time with me.”

“Mm.”

John’s mind wandered again to the bloody wound on Lily’s forehead. He seemed distracted.

He didn’t even really hear what Elsa said—he just responded absentmindedly.

While his mind drifted, Elsa shifted her body and curled softly into his chest. “I’ve been having nightmares every night lately. I dream that I’m bleeding so much… and no matter how hard I try, I can’t open my eyes. John, am I going to die soon? I’m so scared I’ll never see you again… Please don’t leave tonight. Stay with me. Please?”

John looked down and met Elsa’s face–so proud, yet on the verge of collapse, so full of helpless panic.

He couldn’t say no to her like this.

With a quiet sigh, he loosely wrapped an arm around her. “I’ll stay here with you in the room. Just get

some rest.”
