Lucas’s mouth opened and closed, but he couldn’t utter a word.
Indeed, he and I had become two people with no relation to each other. Our identities to each other were naturally
awkward.
After a long while, he slowly reached out and grasped my cold hand.
“Sophia, I was wrong. It’s my fault.”
“Please wake up. Don’t play such a joke on me. It’s not funny, really not funny at all.”
My hand had long since stiffened due to freezing. His fingers turned slightly white from the cold, but he stubbornly

refused to let go.
“Sophia, you’re still angry with me, aren’t you? I’ll apologize, okay?”
Seeing him in such a frenzied state, the staff shook their head and spoke regretfully.
“If you knew you were making a mistake, why did you do it in the first place?”
The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it drifted into Lucas’s ears. Bitterness gradually spread in his heart, and tears began to slowly fall to the ground along his cheeks.
Lucas thought, Sophia was indeed right that day.
He regretted it, truly regretted it.
But now he had no way to win Sophia back.
My soul floated in mid–air, silently watching Lucas experience the pain I once felt.

Lucas learned about all the things I had endured in life from my notebook.
He finally realized all the unspeakable things Emma had done to me behind his back.
Seeing him trembling and crying, I understood that he hadn’t known about any of this.
I followed him as he dragged Emma to the bathroom with bloodshot eyes, forcefully pushing her head into a bathtub full
of water.
He had people make Emma eat spoiled food from the trash.
He had people cut off her beautiful hair.
When Emma suffered the same things she had done to me, she began to kneel on the ground, begging for mercy over
and over.
But I just coldly watched it all.
After all, even if he did this, what could it change?
Moreover, the person who had extinguished the hope in my life was him.

After punishing Emma, Lucas took sleeping pills that night and chose to end his life the same way I did, by slitting his
wrists.
As the blood gushed out from his wrists, he vaguely saw me floating in mid–air, watching him with a cold expression.
He tried to open his arms to embrace me, but I directly avoided him.
“Don’t come near me.”

“Lucas, you shouldn’t die.”
He didn’t expect me to say such words and looked at me in bewilderment.
“You should live on, to experience the pain I felt when I was alive!”
“After all, I don’t want to see you.”
“Lucas, I told you, if possible, I wish I had never known you, never met you.”
Lucas didn’t die. The ambulance came quickly, saving his life in time and allowing him to continue living in this world.
As my soul dissipated, I went to see Gavin one last time.
He was in the kitchen, making my favorite strawberry cake as always.
knew he was remembering me in this way.
I’m sorry.
Gavin.
In the end, I still failed to live up to your love.
