“The card, hand it over. Even if I die, I will never, ever be with you!” Ellie was scared speechless by Alex’s wild actions, unable to string together a coherent sentence. But her attitude was so firm, so determined.
Alex slowly let go of Ellie, both of them trying to calm their chaotic breaths. They gazed into each other’s eyes from a close distance, still tasting each other in their mouths, but the scent of blood was even stronger.
Alex, enduring the pain, gently touched his tongue with his fingertip. Seeing the bloodstain on his fingertip, Alex’s gaze once again settled on Ellie.
He paused for a few moments, then handed the card to Ellie, saying, “It’s okay if you don’t choose me, but you the hospital to see Grandpa. He doesn’t wake up much these days and keeps asking for you.”

When Carlos was mentioned, Ellie’s expression softened, and when she looked into Alex’s sorrowful eyes, her gaze became firm. “I can take your card and visit Grandpa Carlos, but you have to promise not to intrude in my life anymore!”
Alex’s breath caught. With his pained eyes restraining something, he just stared at Ellie without saying a word. After quite some time, he finally took a step back.

Ellie said, “I don’t believe you. Swear on the person you care about the most. If you break your promise, she’ll have nothing to live for and nowhere to turn to in death.”
Alex stepped forward, gripping Ellie’s shoulders tightly with both hands.
at Ellie, his voice was shaking as he said, “Ellie, you always said the most selfish person was me, right? Of Looking dow course, the one I care about most is myself.”

After all, during her loneliest years, it was he who stayed by her side. He had protected her so recklessly, and deep down, she wished for him to be happier than anyone else.
She had never imagined there’d come a day when they’d part ways under such a malicious curse. She thought, ‘But what could I do? We had really reached this point!‘
Wiping away her tears, Ellie tossed the secondary card into the trash, and left without looking back. Behind her, Alex was still standing there.
