Chapter 326 There’s 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.”

“You’re always thinking about leaving me..” David’s voice trembled as it brushed against her ear, carrying an unmistakable hint of sorrow, “Caroline, will you really be happier without me?”
Obviously! Of course! A life without David would be filled with fresh air, blue skies, and even the wind would carry a sweet fragrance!
“You’d rather die than stay by my side… than accept my love… Am I really that disgusting to you? That unbearable?”
“Fine. I know you hate me. But not even your child mattered to you? Weren’t you the one who cared about.
the most?”

Caroline frowned.
What is he even talking about? She didn’t 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. “I don’t know if you can hear me. Maybe… you’ve already gone to another world. But I can’t shake the feeling that there’s still a breath left in you. It’s only when you’re unconscious that I have the courage to speak my true feelings. Caroline, I’ve never loved anyone before. I don’t know how to love, I don’t understand love… But your death has taught me a painful lesson.”
She froze.
Listening to David’s murmurs, Caroline thought for a moment–and 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, isn’t there? And he couldn’t even tell the difference?

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 “corpse” in his arms.

Now the real question was… should she wake up or keep “playing dead“?
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 couldn’t go on forever either…
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

as she was about to make her decision, she felt something wet land on her cheek.
Wait… where is that water coming from? It couldn’t be David’s tears? He’s crying? He’s actually crying for me?
If she opened her eyes now, she’d 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 wasn’t actually dead, he’d probably feel humiliated–meaning he’d only get event angrier.
Caroline…”
David’s voice was thick with emotion, his breath shaky.
