Chapter 326 Thereâs a Difference Between Sleeping and Dying!
But David was still kissing her, making it impossible for her to speak.
What the heck is going on?
Caroline was completely baffled.â
Finished
âYouâre always thinking about leaving me..â Davidâs voice trembled as it brushed against her ear, carrying an unmistakable hint of sorrow, âCaroline, will you really be happier without me?â
Obviously! Of course! A life without David would be filled with fresh air, blue skies, and even the wind would carry a sweet fragrance!
âYouâd rather die than stay by my side⦠than accept my love⦠Am I really that disgusting to you? That unbearable?â
âFine. I know you hate me. But not even your child mattered to you? Werenât you the one who cared about.
the most?â
the ball
Caroline frowned.
What is he even talking about? She didnât understand a single word. Die? Wait, is he expecting me to die?
As soon as his lips left hers, she prepared to open her eyes and ask him directly.
Her eyelids fluttered, almost lifting-
But then, David spoke again. âI donât know if you can hear me. Maybe⦠youâve already gone to another world. But I canât shake the feeling that thereâs still a breath left in you. Itâs only when youâre unconscious that I have the courage to speak my true feelings. Caroline, Iâve never loved anyone before. I donât know how to love, I donât understand love⦠But your death has taught me a painful lesson.â
She froze.
Listening to Davidâs murmurs, Caroline thought for a momentâand suddenly, it clicked.
David thought⦠I was dead? Dead in the bathtub? What? No! She was just sleeping! There is a difference between sleeping and dying, isnât there? And he couldnât even tell the difference?
Just as the realization hit her, the strong scent of roses filled her nose.
It all made sense now.
She had accidentally spilled an entire bottle of rose essential oil into the tub, turning the water red. Then she had fallen asleep in it.
David must have come home, opened the door, and seen her lying there in what looked like a pool of blood
And assumed she had killed herself.
Now, he was holding her âcorpseâ in his arms.
This has got to be the worst misunderstanding ever.

But Caroline hadnât done anything wrong! It was just a coincidenceânothing more!
Finished
And besides, it was David who jumped to conclusions. She hadnât said or done anything to make him think
otherwise.
Now the real question was⦠should she wake up or keep âplaying deadâ?
She was tor
If she suddenly opened her eyes now, David would probably think he had seen a ghost.
But if she stayed like this, lying motionless in his arms, this couldnât go on forever eitherâ¦
What to do? Wake up? Or not? This is too awkward. Maybe⦠it is best to just wake up and clear up misunderstanding.
But just
the
as she was about to make her decision, she felt something wet land on her cheek.
Wait⦠where is that water coming from? It couldnât be Davidâs tears? Heâs crying? Heâs actually crying for me?
If she opened her eyes now, sheâd catch David at his most vulnerable moment.
With his arrogance and pride, if she saw him like this, he would definitely get furious.
And once he realized she wasnât actually dead, heâd probably feel humiliatedâmeaning heâd only get event angrier.
Carolineâ¦â
Davidâs voice was thick with emotion, his breath shaky.
