Chapter 16

Author: Like a Dream
I remained silent for a long time.

Thinking we had a bad connection, the nurse hung up and called back. She made it clear that she hoped I'd grant Nicholas his final wish.

I didn't give her a definite answer. I simply said I needed some time to think about it.

Not long after that call, my first academic year came to an end.

I had two long months of vacation ahead of me, free to do as I pleased.

I turned down every invitation and returned to Zafrenia.

    I remained silent for a long time.Thinking we had a bad connection, the nurse hung up and called back. She made it clear that she hoped I'd grant Nicholas his final wish.I didn't give her a definite answer. I simply said I needed some time to think about it.Not long after that call, my first academic year came to an end.I had two long months of vacation ahead of me, free to do as I pleased.I turned down every invitation and returned to Zafrenia.I didn't go to the nursing home. Instead, I went to see Sebastian.He was Nicholas's best friend, so naturally, he hated me. He'd once been in cahoots with me for money, but now that Nicholas was nearing the end of his life, he'd chosen to take his side. He condemned me for being heartless and demanded to know why I wouldn't forgive Nicholas. After all, Nicholas would have given his life for me.I pretended to be moved, coaxing him into telling me more about Nicholas.Only then did I learn that Nicholas had returned to Zafrenia after seein

    I took Nicholas to a clinic to get his injuries treated.To my surprise, he actually still had enough money to pay the medical bill.When he noticed me staring blankly at his hand as he pulled out the cash, he offered a brief explanation. "Sebastian lent it to me.""Oh." A little annoyed, I replied sarcastically, "What a good friend you've got."He gave a faint smile. "Maybe his conscience was bothering him."I said nothing.He jingled the change in his hand. "There's a little left over. I remember you like ice cream. Want me to treat you to some?"I didn't say yes or no.He told me to wait on the bench outside the clinic while he went to a nearby ice cream shop and bought two ice creams.Mine cost twice as much as his.I stared at the ice cream without taking a bite.He asked cautiously, "Are you not supposed to have anything cold anymore?"I shook my head and took a bite.Chocolate. Far too sweet and rich. I didn't particularly like it.Nicholas watched me for a moment before suddenl

    Nicholas didn't say a word. Like a wild animal defending its territory, he threw himself at Yosef with reckless abandon.At first, Yosef's friends were too stunned to react, leaving him to take several punches.But once they snapped out of it, their numbers quickly turned the tide. Several people pinned Nicholas to the ground, forcing him down onto his knees before Yosef in humiliation.Yosef had taken a few blows himself, and his usual devil-may-care streak came roaring back. He grabbed a bottle and was about to bring it down on Nicholas's head.Nicholas had sneered at Yosef, and he wasn't afraid of him in the slightest. His gaze was chilling.I stood behind the crowd, calmly watching the confrontation unfold.Whether Yosef had been intimidated by the look in his eyes or had some other reason, he ultimately decided not to strike. Instead, he sat back on the couch with his legs spread apart, his expression dark and sullen.One of his friends spoke up on Yosef's behalf, rudely asking Ni

    Yosef's gaze was much like that of many others I'd encountered, yet there was something different about it.Most people looked at me and saw only ambition. But he looked me over with the confidence of someone who already knew he'd have me, like a predator sizing up its prey.The first time we met, he dropped to one knee and confessed his feelings for me.As he casually started to rise, I pressed a hand against his shoulder, making him stay down on one knee a little longer.Looking straight into his eyes, I said, "I don't want to."Then I leaned down, bringing my lips close to his ear. "I don't like the way you look at me. Next time we meet, behave yourself, okay?"Yosef didn't get angry. Instead, he broke into a wide grin. Still on one knee, he dipped his head slightly and whispered back, "But that's just how I like to look at people. If you don't like it, then learn to. Okay?"I narrowed my eyes at him.By the end of that dinner, I'd made my first enemy since coming abroad.From then

    After cutting ties with Sebastian, I made a clean break from my old life.I withdrew all the personnel Zafrenia had left behind, arranged through intermediaries to sell off all my properties and vehicles, and liquidated my entire stake in Nicholas's company at the best possible price.When it was all done, I was wealthy in my own right, with substantial assets but entirely on my own.It had taken me years, but I'd finally built the life I'd always wanted.I was no longer hurt by Nicholas's favoritism or anyone else's. All I had to do was go back and forth between the lab and my dorm, doing the things I truly loved.Whether they were my friends or my professors, none of them ever brought up Zelda around me, and no one expected me to give way to her.Sometimes, looking back, I couldn't help feeling sorry for how weak and cowardly I'd been.I'd always been the kind of person who refused to admit defeat, yet somehow, one day, I found myself choosing to run away simply because I couldn't wi

    Before Sebastian could finish, Nicholas had already pieced it together.His lips were cracked and bleeding, and his eyes were deeply sunken. In just a few minutes, he looked twice as haggard and disheveled as before."That was my child."Tears welled up in Nicholas's hollow, lifeless eyes. He was clearly crying, yet the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile as he repeated over and over, "That was my child.""How could the York family... Lauren was their daughter, too. How could they make her out to be unfaithful in front of all those people and destroy her reputation like that?"Muttering under his breath, Nicholas yanked the IV out of the back of his hand, threw off the covers, and tried to climb out of bed.He looked utterly spent, but he was surprisingly strong. It took Sebastian considerable effort to force him back onto the bed.Nicholas lost his balance and struck the back of his head against the headboard. The monitors immediately began shrieking with piercing alarms.Sebasti
