But he had opted not to do that.
In a way, he had deliberately let himself get hurt.
Brian wanted to underline the fact that he had saved her, carve it into stone if possible.
âI never asked you to save me, so I have no obligation to tend to your wound.
You already know what to do.
But if youâre not scared of getting an infection, then I suppose you can skip the hospital and just waste away.

Rosalynn kept her tone calm, though she was in a turmoil deep inside.
Brianâs eyes took on a somber look as she strode past him and made a beeline for the sink.
âHoney, I understand you that are mad at me.
If my pain can somehow ease your anger and make you feel better, then I would gladly die from pain.

Rosalynnâs heart skipped a beat.

âThat is your opinion, and I do not agree with it.
I intend to share the rest of my days with you, whether we spend them arguing or cuddled up in bed.
I want the good memories and the bad.
I want you.
â Brian looked straight at her as he said this.
His voice was calm and pleasant, as if he was simply presenting a mundane idea.
Even so, Rosalynn felt herself getting bewitched by those damn eyes.
She mustered a smile and said nothing, then proceeded to brush her teeth.
She looked at herself in the mirror and reminded herself again and again.
If she didnât want to get hurt again, then she must stand strong against his charms.
Rosalynn ignored Brian and carried on with washing her face and changing her clothes.
She grabbed her phone before applying her makeup.
That was when she realized that her phone was off.
