Not a Love for Faint Hearts Chapter 24
Three days after Zoey's funeral, Maxwell woke up in bed, staring at the ceiling. He dragged himself up and poured a glass of ice water.He still wasn't used to it—the days without Zoey.For so long, there had always been warm tea waiting for him. She made sure of it. He never once had to worry about something as small as tea.But now…Now he'd made up his mind. He was leaving.He got in his car and drove to the university—the place where he and Zoey once lived, once loved.Somewhere on that campus was the memory of a twenty-year-old Zoey.He remembered it clearly. How Zoey had appeared in his life like a beam of light, illuminating everything.And how... he lost that light.And no matter how hard he searched, he could never find it again.But when he arrived, the campus was empty. School was out for break. The emptiness left him disoriented. He wandered for a while, then finally sat down at the front gate, staring out at nothing.A familiar voice startled him."You're... Ma

After that, Zoey's body grew thinner and more transparent with each passing day.And yet, Maxwell started to change. He began living with a kind of quiet determination, as though he'd finally found something worth holding onto.Dr. Willow was relieved to see it. Pleased, even. But when Zoey looked into Maxwell's eyes, all she could see was despair and hopelessness.Still, there was nothing more she could do.Her time had come. She was finally allowed to move on to her next life.On the day Maxwell held her funeral—her real funeral this time—the entire class showed up.For every person who came, Maxwell would quietly explain everything. The truth about back then. About how he had wronged Zoey.The more he said it, the more the others fell silent. They all knew. They'd always known.They'd seen it too—that Zoey hadn't been living well with him. That pain she carried wasn't invisible. Some of them even remembered the time she was so desperate, she tried to take her own life.Bu

Dr. Willow hired someone to perform a ritual.Zoey could feel her soul being pulled by an invisible force. The medium caught sight of her form and immediately shut his eyes tight—because the way Zoey looked after death was simply... too horrifying.But this time, it wasn't Maxwell calling for her. It was Dr. Willow.Zoey had spent enough time with Dr. Willow to know that he was a soft-hearted man. Especially after all these years of caring for Maxwell.Still... she never imagined that the moment he found out she was still lingering in this world, not yet reincarnated, he would simply... cry.Tears rolled down his face. And it was the kind of grief that could shake anyone."Zoey..." His voice trembled. "It's true... Mr. Porter wronged you. But... I'm begging you. Could you... could you help him? I've watched him grow up. I used to think it was you who couldn't live without him. I was wrong. So wrong."Now... now he won't eat. Won't drink. He's wasting away... turning into nothing

Zoey felt nothing but ache for Maxwell. She didn't want him to die.For days, she stayed away from his dreams.All those fragile, fleeting memories faded into emptiness. All she wanted... was for him to keep living in this world.Maxwell tried everything. Every method, every trick he could think of. None of it worked.In the end, he collapsed to his knees, completely shattered. Tilting his head back, he gulped down bottle after bottle of liquor, his face pale as paper."Please... please... just let me see you in my dreams one more time... just once..."Zoey's heart softened. She gave in.That night... she entered his dream again.But this time, he was older. Dressed in his international high school uniform, looking handsome—ridiculously handsome.The moment he saw her, he instinctively raised his arm in defense. His face was covered in bruises and scratches."Who are you?" His voice was guarded and sharp. "I don't know you. Are you here to hit me too?"Zoey's chest tightened

Maxwell had finally made up his mind to leave.All along, he thought Zoey couldn't live without him. But now, he realized—it was him who couldn't live without her.A world without Zoey was unbearable. Even the air felt thinner, suffocating.Every night, without fail, he dreamed of her—her face blurred, impossible to see clearly. Every time he reached out, desperate to hold her, she would vanish into nothing.Jerking awake, drenched in cold sweat, he muttered into the hollow dark, "Is this the punishment you left me, Zoey?"Sleep became impossible. Night after night, his eyes stayed open, ringed in dark bruises. Dr. Willow watched this spiral and sighed, knowing it couldn't go on. He quietly handed over sleeping pills.Maxwell held one of Zoey's old shirts in his arms that night. For the first time in what felt like forever, he fell asleep.But even Zoey didn't expect that somehow... she would end up inside his dream.In the dream, Maxwell was a child again. His tiny hands c

Three days later, the news exploded."Porter Heir Imprisons Woman."It shot straight to the top of the global headlines.Dr. Willow froze in place, staring wide-eyed at the newspaper in his hands. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.There, in the photo, was Maxwell being escorted away by police. His face was devoid of remorse, completely unrepentant.But what caught Dr. Willow's attention wasn't just the blank expression—it was the small object clutched tightly in Maxwell's hand.A handmade ring. The one Zoey had given him.Dr. Willow closed his eyes, letting out a heavy breath. He never imagined it would come to this.Inside the interrogation room, facing a crowd of officers and the suffocating glare of the media, Maxwell sat there, stone-faced."I have nothing to say," he replied flatly.Meanwhile, the world was reeling.Footage from inside the house showed Nancy—her face pale, her hair disheveled—being rescued, her expression trembling between terror and overwhelming
