The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Not Even Worth Regretting

Not Even Worth Regretting

What a burrkill.

In an instant, it felt like her sweet dream shattered–like thick clouds suddenly swallowed the sun.

Seeing James still holding Lily in his arms, John’s brow tightened. He strole up, clearly trying to snatch her back into his armis.

“Get lost.”

James shot him a disgusted glare, not budging an inch.

Lily didn’t even bother pretending to be polite. Her voice was cold as ice. “John, do you not understand human language? I honestly, seriously can’t stand you. Just looking at you makes me sick. What happened tonight–the police will deal with it. Can you stop showing up just to disgust mei

“Lily, I know I let you down again tonight.”

John glanced at his own right hand–the one that had gripped her throat–and guilt surged through his eyes like a flood. “Back upstairs, when I saw Elsa bleeding, I just assumed it was you who hurt her. That’s why I lost it… hurt you… I regret it so much. You once sold your own blood just to raise money for my surgery. No matter how painful or humiliating the job, you did it. You even worked as a human punching bag for rich people just to make fast cash. You broke three ribs for me. You were so good to me, and I was such an idiot–I kept Tetting you down. You gave me so much… I can’t believe you’d suddenly stop loving me. Lily, I’m begging you, just give me one last chance. Come home with me, please?”

Hearing him bring up the past, Lily paused for a moment.

Maybe it was because the Ginger family had hurt her so deeply. She’d been isolated, desperate for warmth. So when John reached out a hand to help her during the bullying, she fell for him–hard and fast.

She hadn’t even known what kind of person he truly was,

Back then, she was unbelievably stupid.

She didn’t want to dwell on how pathetic she used to be. Her voice was cold and firm. “John, believe it or not, I really don’t love you anymore.”

“That’s impossible! If you didn’t love me, then what did everything you did for me mean? Breaking three ribs for me–what was that?”

to relive her

I think about all the stupid things I did for you, the more I regret it. Just because you helped me that one time when I was being bullied, I threw myself into loving you before I even figured out whether you were a person or a dog. Back then, I was such a fool. Loving you was the dumbest thing I’ve
