Chapter 231 I Love You

The call connected, but Ethan didn't say a word.

In the dead of night, the silence was terrifying.

I yelled, "Ethan? Is that you?"

Ethan finally spoke, "Emily, I love you!"

It was the first time he said those words, the ones I had been dying to hear, but his voice was so faint and weak.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I gripped the phone tightly.

"Ethan, what's wrong?"

"I love you, I love you, I love you!"

Hearing him repeat those words over and over, I felt my tears fall uncontrollably. But his voice grew fainter and fainter until I couldn't hear anything at all. "Ethan! Say something! Don't scare me!"

I cried and shouted into the phone, but there was no response. I jumped out of bed and ran out barefoot.

When I opened the door, Faris was standing there, blocking my way. I pushed his arm, but he didn't move. "Move," I shouted.

"Where are you going?" Faris asked calmly.

"Ethan is in trouble. I need to find him."

"You can't go."

"I have to go."

I grabbed his arm, glaring at him with red eyes, my nails digging into his flesh.

Faris didn't budge.

Recalling Ethan's weak and faint voice on the phone, I felt my heart ache terribly. In a fit of desperation, I bit Faris's arm.

He groaned, gritting his teeth, but still didn't let go.

After a moment, I released my bite, looked at him for a few seconds, and turned to walk straight to the balcony, stepping onto a stool placed there without a word. Faris strode over and grabbed me.

"What are you doing?"

Sitting on the railing, I said resolutely and firmly, "I have to go. If you don't let me, I'll jump from here. Even if I break my arms and legs, I will still go."

Faris held onto me tightly, as if afraid that if he let go, I would really jump.

His eyes glared at me fiercely, as if he wanted to devour me.

But in the end, all his momentum faded, leaving only a helpless sigh.

"What time is it now? Are you planning to walk to Starlight City?"

When I looked at the still dark sky, the endless darkness brought me boundless confusion.

No matter how urgent, I had to wait until dawn, but I couldn't wait. I didn't know Ethan's condition, and I was really worried.

I had already understood Ethan's longing from the phone call. He needed me desperately now, so I had to get to him as soon as possible.
