He was now using it for her. Maybe she will survive, but he will die.
’Please! Please, Silas, don’t! I beg you! Don’t do it! I will live my life to regret!’ Ivy silently begged in her heart, her body was paralysed, while tears continued to stream down her face.
Silas continued to inject the healing energy into Ivy’s body, and soon, Ivy’s wound stopped bleeding.
By that ti, Silas’s face had turned into deathly pale color, and his eyes held a bit of reluctance.
"Ivy... I wish that in your next lifeti, you will love with your whole heart. And even if you don’t love , just stay near , alright? I love you, darling, please don’t bla yourself. Otherwise, my heart will ache even in the underworld. Let’s et in the next lifeti and make beautiful mories together. I will ensure we don’t have a bitter ending like this."
And then... silence.
For a long ti, Ivy couldn’t even move, and when she could finally move, her hands touched the cold body of Silas.
She couldn’t see anything, maybe it was one of the side effects of surviving such a damaging blow to her brain, but she couldn’t care at all.
"Silas? Silas?" Her hand traced the familiar features, and her heart sank. He was indeed Silas.
But why was his body so cold?
"Silas? Wake up! I wanted to say, I love you. I truly do... please! Just once... hear , okay? I am sorry..." Ivy’s tears couldn’t stop flowing, "Let’s get married, okay? I won’t run away from you anymore."
What replied her was the cold silence.
"Silas! Wake up! I order! I command you! You never disobeyed words, right? Reply to ! You are angry that I didn’t say I love you, too, right? I will say it now. I love you! I love you!"
Ivy cried, and the sound of heartwrenching sobs echoed in the hollow abandoned warehouse.
She hugged Silas’s cold body and muttered,
"You are throwing a tantrum, I know. How can you bear to leave in this world all alone? Silas... I don’t want to live anymore. Just take with you, okay?"
"Ivy, don’t be selfish!" Henry’s thunderous voice stunned Ivy, and it was only then did she realized that she wasn’t alone.
Her eyes, though dim, looked in the direction from which the voice had co,
"Henry? You are here? Check on Silas. See, he is not replying to at all. What should I do? I think he is angry with . Oh right! I think he is injured. Can you please call the healer and get him healed?"
"Shut up!" Henry bellowed, but Ivy wasn’t in her rational mind at all,
"Are you furious about my actions from the previous day? I will beg you, okay? Just heal him, please." Ivy muttered as she gently placed Silas to one side and knelt.
She started to bow in Henry’s direction and mutter,
"If you are angry, just take it out on . But treat your captain, please? I still want to tell many things, I even want to get married to him."
A faint choking sob echoed in Ivy’s ears, followed by the sound of things falling, more like soone collapsing.
Followed by Henry’s choked voice, "Ivy... Silas... Silas is dead. Let him go."
"No!" Ivy shouted in a furious voice, "You are lying! Henry, I know I was very despicable, but please lie about your captain like that!"
Soone embraced her and followed another person.
"Ivy, he is truly dead." It was Alia, the cold, wet tears landed on Ivy’s shoulder blade.
"Don’t bla yourself." Chloe’s voice was somber and choked up, too.
"It’s all her mistake!" Scarlett’s piercing voice stung Ivy’s heart, "If it wasn’t for her, my Silas would still have been alive!"
Ivy couldn’t hear any words; all she could think about was the words ’Silas is dead’
He died? Because of her? Ivy felt her heart turning cold. She ignored their words and held Silas’s cold body.
Ignoring everyone’s words, she placed her ears on Silas’s chest. She waited and waited. For a single heartbeat... but nothing.
"No! No... he can’t be dead... he can’t be." Ivy muttered.
"But he is! And you are his killer!" Scarlett shouted back, hatred evident in her tone. "You know what, Ivy, if you have sha, just die along with him!"
Slap.
"What the f*ck, Aiden! Why did you slap ?" Scarlett scread, but Ivy only felt that Scarlett’s words made sense.
If Silas had died, then she should have died too. At least in the underworld, they can be together, right?
With that thought, she started to touch around in the hopes of finding the hamr with which Damian had attacked her, and to her luck, she did find it.
Without hesitation, she swung it on her head; however, to her dismay, Chloe’s rough hand held hers.
"What the f*ck are you doing, Ivy?"
She pulled away the hamr with force, and Ivy, weakened by the previous blow, couldn’t resist; she could only shout and reach out for the hamr.
"No... let die, okay? If he is dead. I will die too. I don’t want to live."
Silence. If Ivy could see, she would have noticed how everyone was looking at her with a stunned expression.
But she couldn’t, and she couldn’t even care less. "Chloe, give the hamr, or just kill . I will accompany Silas in the underworld. He must be waiting for ."
Chloe broke down and shouted, "Ivy, get a grip. Silas died while healing you! He wants you to live! Just live for him, okay? Please... we have already lost the captain... we can’t lose you too."
"But..." Ivy began, but Henry cut off her mid-sentence, "If you love him so much, live for him. He proved his love by dying; you prove yours by living."
"Don’t feel guilty, just protect him in the next lifeti," Alia whispered as if she were soothing her.
......
Present life:
Looking at the car rushing in their direction, Ivy waved her hand.
