Chapter 46 Don’t Worry, I’ll Just Die Quietly
After she returned to the country, she had taken the initiative to kiss John.
But every time she kissed him, he seemed distracted. And when he snapped out of it, he would. immediately pull away from her.
He had never kissed her with such passion or madness.

Lily was just an imposter cast out by the Ginger family, a pitiful, cheap little lapdog. How could she be worthy of his kiss? Elsa wanted to claw that disgusting face of Lily’s apart.
But she had always been proud. She refused to lose her composure in public. Instead, she lifted her chin stubbornly, like a proud red rose, tears silently rolling down her face.
“John, you said you’d stay with me until the end. I don’t have much time left. My last wish is to be with you. I thought in these final days of my life, it would be just the two of us. But now it seems, I’m the most unnecessary one here.”
As she spoke, Elsa shut her eyes in pain, utterly shattered.
John’s brow furrowed deeply.
He truly hadn’t expected Elsa to follow him here. He had indeed promised her that he would be by her side until the very end.
To spare her any regrets, he was willing to spend time watching meteor showers with her, to travel the world by her side.
But he had also told her–he had a girlfriend. He couldn’t break up with Lily.
Elsa’s words crossed a line.
And beyond that, he was starting to realize–his issues with Lily might be more serious than he thought.
He didn’t want to keep hearing Lily call him her ex–boyfriend. Tonight, he just wanted to settle things with her.
Still, he spoke gently to Elsa, “Lizzy, I promised I’d take care of you, and I meant it. Go on home first. I’ll come to see you tomorrow.”
Elsa’s beautiful face was etched with even deeper sorrow and pain.
She slowly opened her eyes; a mist instantly welled up in her lovely gaze. “John, there’s a thunderstorm tonight. You know I’m terrified of thunder. Can’t you stay with me tonight?”
John knew she was truly afraid of storms.
Just a few days ago, they had been traveling together. That night, the wind howled and rain poured, lightning flashing across the sky–she had cowered in the corner, helpless and fragile.
A flicker of hesitation flashed quickly through his dark eyes.

Catching that struggle in his gaze, Elsa knew–tonight, she wouldn’t lose to Lily.

She cleverly chose to retreat in order to advance. “I’m dying, and I have so little time left. I’ve gotten greedy, always wanting more time with you. I treasure every second we spend together. But I don’t want to make things hard for you. I’ll be okay tonight.”
Eyes rimmed red, she turned and stumbled out of the private room.
Just as she reached the doorway, she seemed to twist her ankle. Her body tilted—and she crumpled weakly to the floor.
“Lizzy!”
Seeing her collapse without moving, John’s expression changed instantly.
He rushed forward and pulled her tightly into his arms. “Where did you hit yourself? Does it hurt? I’m taking you to the hospital!”
“John…”
Elsa cast a haughty glance at Lily, but when she looked back at John, her eyes were filled with stubbornness and pain. “No need to go to the hospital. I just twisted my ankle; You don’t need to worry about me. I crossed the line. I keep wishing you’d spend more time with me. But I guess I’ve just been making you unhappy. I’ll try not to bother you anymore. I really can manage on my own.”
As she spoke, she tried to get up from the floor.
But she couldn’t. Her legs gave out, and she crumpled to the ground.
The woman who was once proud, untouchable, and full of fire had become a shadow of herself–yet John still turned his back on her.
Lily had indeed been making quite a scene lately. But they had a whole lifetime ahead of them. Whatever misunderstandings or issues there were, they’d figure it out eventually.
She loved him so much. No matter how fierce her temper, their relationship would never spiral out of his control.
But Elsa was running on fumes. Even the smallest accident could be fatal.
If his neglect caused her to leave this world earlier than she should… he would never forgive himself.
After a moment of internal struggle, he finally lifted Elsa into his arms with care. He looked over at Lily and said calmly, “Lizzy twisted her ankle. I’m taking her to the hospital. I’ll meet you at the hotel later.
“I don’t need you to come find me! I-”
John was too worried about Elsa, walking too fast. Before Lily could finish her sentence, he was already gone, carrying Elsa far into the distance.
Watching the two of them disappear. Lily let out a bitter laugh.
Elsa really was so fragile.

Fragile in her show of defiance, fragile in her silent middle finger.
Well, if he wanted to dote on that delicate Elsa, never leaving her side–so be it.
That would just make Lily’s world quieter.
The two bottles of hard liquor had really hit her. Her vision was doubled.

She didn’t return to the dinner party. Instead, she sent a message to the director and called a car back to First Hotel in Capital City.
The taxi was stuffy, and when she got out, her head spun even worse.
