Chapter 327 How Much I Love You

As long as you wake up. I’ll agree to anything you ask. Can you hear me? If you can, say something… just one word, please?
His voice was desperate.
“Why is it that I can only say what’s truly in my heart when you can’t hear me? And even if I say it now, what’s the point?”
Caroline’s heart sank slightly
He was right. She was “dead“-so whatever David was saying now had to be the truth.
Well this is a rare opportunity. I might as well listen.
Instead of overthinking, she kept her eyes tightly shut.
She wanted to hear what David would say, what he would do, while holding her ‘lifeless body.”
After all he had already shed tears for her.
Men didn’t cry easily. Maybe, just maybe, David really did love me–at least a little.
Holding her tightly with one arm, he slowly ran his fingers through her hair with the other. “When I poured that red wine over your head today, I felt worse than you did. Why can’t you just give in to me a little? All I ever wanted was for you to listen to me… just a little. If you could just be a little softer with me, act a little spoiled, I swear–I’d give you my life. If you wanted the stars, I’d find a way to pluck them from the sky for you. Caroline, you will never understand how much I love you… how much I’ve sacrificed just to love you. -I’ve bent my rules, lowered my standards, time and time again… all for you. But you never cared. Not once. But none of that matters anymore. It’s too late now, Caroline. Why why would you rather die than grow old with me? You are the only woman I have ever wanted for a lifetime. No one else.”
His fingers traced down from her hairline, brushing over her eyebrows, her closed eyelids, the bridge of her nosc… finally stopping at her lips.
Then, he leaned down and kissed her.
Softly. Gently. Like a feather’s touch.
Not once did he recoil. Not once did he hesitate. He didn’t care if she was just a corpse, a lifeless body.
“I love you…. I love you so much… but I’ve never once said it to your face. And now, is it too late? Caroline, live. Please, don’t die. Stay with me. I’ll give you anything you want. Just hold on. Don’t leave me. I can’t lose you… Caroline. If you come back to me, whatever you ask, I’ll give it to you.”
His confession was raw, filled with nothing but deep, unwavering devotion.
Caroline thought–if she were awake, she would never get to hear David say such words in her lifetime.
People only realized what they had when it was too late. Only in loss did they finally understand regret.
Her heart, too, was made of flesh. She could be soft. She could ache.
She knew these words could only exist in this moment, at this time.

Chapter 327 How Much I Love You
A single tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
Knowing that David loved me… maybe that is enough. But to be loved by him, is it a blessing or a curse?
The room was eerily silent.

Suddenly, the faint wail of an ambulance siren broke through the stillness.
It was quiet at first, distant–but in the heavy silence, it was impossible to miss.
“Mr. Ellison, the ambulance is here!”
Outside, a bodyguard’s excited voice rang out.
The siren grew louder, closer. In no time, the ambulance had arrived downstairs.
David stiffened. For a moment, he was lost in thought.
Then, in the next instant, he snapped back to reality. Without another word, he scooped Caroline into hist arms and strode out of the bathroom..
