Yet......
She didn’t know what to say to him.

When Elisa was at a loss, Carle stifled the air and said, “Actually, | know you agreed to be my girlfriend because you were afraid that | wouldn't wake up from the coma.” Elisa was taken aback. “Carle, you...” Carle sneered. He was choked with sorrow and self-pity.
“Liz, | have kinda figured it out myself. But | love you too much and refuse to accept the truth. | thought as long as | don’t point it out and stop thinking about it, you'll open up toone day.” Elisa pursed her lips and couldn't bring herself to say anything to him. She reckoned this was just the tip of an iceberg; Carle had not fully poured himself yet.
She wanted to hear what was in his heart.
Had he moved on or..
Elisa didn’t dare to assthe undesirable outcome.
Carle took a deep breath and suppressed the burgeoning bitterness in his heart. He regarded Elisa as his life and soul. Losing her was like killing him.
He had considered the thought before. He would have given up the will to live if it wasn’t for Elisa fervently motivating him to wake up from a coma.
God knew how lonely and hopeless he was at the time. He had lost the desire to live. He wanted to call it quits.
But... Liz.

Carle drew another deep breath and said softly, “But after what happened, | realized I've been living in my own bubble. Liz, you have always regardedas your best friend or, in your word, a brother. | guess the two of us... that’s our fate.” Elisa's brow furrowed as her lips turned grim. She clenched her phone and didn’t know what else to say.
After all, she had deceived him. She had kept him in the dark and played with his feelings all this time.
Elisa squeezed a word through her teeth, “Carle, I...” “Liz, you don't need to say anything. | know. | know everything.” Before Elisa could finish her sentence, Carle intervened.
Elisa sighed helplessly. Then, Carle spoke again.
“I know you didn’t mean it; you would never harmintentionally. | was never angry with you, Liz. And | will never be angry with you. You are the woman | love and treasure the most. But, hereafter, | will not force you to reciprocate my love. You have my blessing to pursue your dream.” Elisa was speechless.
Carle flashed a wry smile, “Actually, Sheen was right. Loving you doesn’t mean | have to own you. It's selfish forto insist you stay in this relationship. | may have been selfish before, but | will always be your guardian angel after this. | will not pressure you to do things that you don't like. Can we go back to being best friends like we used to?” “Carle...” Carle was scared that Elisa would say no, so he interrupted her again, “Promise me, Liz. Don’t leave me, okay? Don't alienate me. | won't bug you like how I've been doing in the past. We can go back to how we used to be.” MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 mmMwWLLIOfiflO& 1 MMMWWLIIOIfIO&1 MULL TO £2 E1061 mmMwWLIiIOfiflO&1
