Farewell To My Endless Love novel Chapter 224

Charles' POV:

I walked out of the ward. Richard took me to the elevator and whispered something in my ear.

I listened to him intently, then pondered for a moment and ordered him, "Give that person my regards when you meet again."

"Yes, sir."

"Also, just send me a message when this kind of thing happens in the future. I don't want to arouse Scarlett's suspicion."

"Got it." After that, Richard left in a hurry.

Later that evening, as Scarlett was about to go to bed, I lay beside her.

As I approached her, her body trembled slightly and she immediately moved aside. Her little head shrank into the quilt, frightened. She was as cute as a little hamster.

Amused, I lifted the quilt a little, exposing part of her lovely face. I reached out and took her into my arms effortlessly, and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"Scarlett, did you ever think of me when you were stabbed?"

Silence filled the ward, and it was so quiet that we could only hear each other's breathing. After a long while, Scarlett finally found her tongue and answered decisively, "No."

That made me tighten my hold on her.

"When I drove to the hospital, I was going so fast that I almost hit others. At that time, all I could think about was you."

Upon hearing what I said, Scarlett's body shook slightly.

I hugged her and continued, "At that time, I was wondering what you'd do if I died. Would you feel sorry for me?"

"Don't say something like that, Charles. It's bad luck! You'll definitely live a long life."

"I mean, if."

"There is no such thing as 'if'. Let's drop it." Scarlett shoved away my arms and turned her back huffily to me, seemingly very upset.

"Well, I don't really want to die. I can't possibly leave you alone, so I'll try my best to hold on. Unless..."

"Unless, what?"

"Unless you die with me, Scarlett." I emphasized every word as I pulled her to me and hugged her from behind.

Her faint fragrance wafted to my nose. I closed my eyes and gently rubbed my cheek against her back, enjoying her sweet scent.

All I wanted was to be closer to her. I was eager to win over her heart once more.

I was so rough, she lost her breath and began pounding on my chest. "It hurts, Charles!" she cried, her voice weak.

I quickly let go of her hand, feeling slightly remorseful. Maybe I had agitated her wound by accident. "Did I touch your wound?"

"No!" Her tears fell down, unstopping, like broken beads.

"Don't move! Let me have a look." I wanted to lift up her clothes to check on her body, but as I did so, she shouted again, "That hurts!"

Panicked, I immediately stopped what I was doing. I stammered, "I'm sorry. I'll call the doctor right now."

"No! The wound's fine." She halted me from ringing the bell, before asking me in a low whisper, "Charles, tell me... What should I do to make you let me go?"

Let her go...? How could I ever live without her?

Scarlett had no idea that she had already become an inseparable part of my life.

"Switch off the lights, please. I'm tired," Scarlett grumbled. I turned off the light obediently, and the ward fell into complete darkness.

Scarlett then huddled herself up, her back facing mine. She was still upset.

I held her tightly and whispered in her ear, "Happy birthday, honey. Don't leave me."
