Chapter 1351 - 1390: What Did You Say?

Instantly, the pale white light flooded the room, and she finally saw his current state clearly.

He was hunched over, his fingers twisted, constantly clawing at himself, the veins bulging, and the pained expression on his face told of his agony.

Suddenly, those phoenix eyes, filled with a bloody red, stared at him, then his body charged toward her like a beast.

Just as his body was about to pin hers down, his steps suddenly halted, as if using the last of his willpower, he growled lowly at her, "Get out, don’t look at me... Mabel, I’m begging you, don’t stay in this room any longer..."

Staying like this in front of him only intensified his desire for her, and once this desire broke a certain threshold, even he could not predict what would happen.

When pain coursed through the blood, reaching every corner of his body, reason seemed to be slowly fading away.

By then, he would merely be a humanoid beast controlled by pain.

Leave? Should she leave? Mabel Quinn stared blankly at the person before her, and his voice strained as it echoed in her ears, "You... don’t worry... I won’t die, even on a full moon night... without you, I won’t die, for you and Ivy... I don’t intend to give up my life just like that..."

As long as she hasn’t completely driven him to despair, he still has hope and the will to fight to survive.

This intense desire to live was something he had never had before.

This man... Did he say these words to spare her any psychological burden? Mabel Quinn took a deep breath, not retreating but advancing, stepping two steps closer to Kyle Kinston.

Instantly, the distance between them was only a single step away.

"I can stand by you through thick and thin!" Mabel Quinn heard her own voice saying, "But the relationship I want is mutual equality, mutual respect, understanding, and tolerance, not one controlling the other. If you agree with this kind of relationship, if you are willing to make this kind of relationship work, then... we can try to start over. If you still feel the need to tightly control the relationship, even everything about the other person, and cannot feel at ease unless it’s like that, then you can pretend I never said this."

When these words came out, even Mabel was a bit taken aback, but there was also a sudden feeling of relief.

And since she had spoken, there was nothing to regret. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for his response.

Because love has never been just one person’s affair, nor is it simply decided by one person.

"What did you... say?" Kyle Kinston’s body even staggered, almost unable to stand steadily.

However, the unsteadiness was not due to the pain in his body, but because of her words. Could these words be true? Or did he mishear?

The pain in his body was becoming increasingly intense, and in another moment, all his remaining sanity and willpower might vanish.

But Mabel Quinn repeated the exact same words she had just said. This time, her voice was firmer. Because she had understood her own heart and didn’t want to find any more excuses.
