Chapter 7

작가: Unliterary
"You're right. Aurora just fainted, and she'll be fine once the doctor gets here," Everest muttered to himself.

Seeing him look so lost, some couldn't help but look away, unable to bear the sight. They were soldiers who had been on real battlefields, so they knew what the faces of the dead looked like.

They knew with absolute certainty that I was dead, yet seeing Everest's state, they didn't have the heart to tell him the truth.

Soon, the Commander, Marshall Vance, and the military doctor,

  • Only If His Heart Still Echoed Mine   Chapter 10

    Tears suddenly streamed down Everest's face as he let out a gut-wrenching cry."I'm so sorry, Aurora! I messed up!"Please… Just let me hold her one last time."Marshall stared him down in disgust. "Take all three of them away."Selene struggled like a madwoman. Her voice was high and piercing as she shrieked curses at me like a vengeful ghost, but soon, another roar of fury drowned her out.It was Everest, angrily screaming at her to shut her mouth. Their voices tangled into an ugly, chaotic mess before fading into the wind.…It snowed heavily again on the day I was buried. Everything was covered in a vast, boundless stretch of white.Marshall and Monica handled my funeral. They followed my final wish and laid me to rest beside my family's graves.As Monica stroked my headstone, she cried so hard she could barely breathe. "Rest in peace, Ms. Lane. Everest and Selene have finally gotten what they deserved."Marshall's voice was unusually hoarse, too. He looked at Dad's heads

  • Only If His Heart Still Echoed Mine   Chapter 9

    Everest started struggling violently at Marshall's command."No! I have to stay with Aurora. She can't live without me…"Monica from the local shop couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, "Stop pretending to be the devoted husband! If you actually loved her, how could you trick her into giving up her heart for Selene?"Ms. Lane died holding the divorce papers in her hands; don't you understand what that means?"She must have known the truth, so even in death, she wanted nothing to do with you!"Her words hit Everest like the final blow. He went utterly still and even forgot to resist.Just then, another young soldier walked back in. "Commander Vance, we found Ms. Lane's diary in the study.""October 21. Everest told me he has a heart condition, and I'm devastated. I love him so much that I'd give up everything for him."October 24. Everest said his illness can be cured. He'll recover as long as he finds a matching heart and undergoes a transplant. I was so happy for him when I

  • Only If His Heart Still Echoed Mine   Chapter 8

    Selene immediately panicked and tried to call out to Jace, but a young soldier held her back with a death grip."Jace, can you tell me where your mom and Colonel Quentin went the other day?" Marshall asked.Jace's eyes darted around, but he remained stubbornly silent.Marshall's expression turned dead serious, and his voice dropped to a low, stern rumble. "Jace, if you don't speak, the weasels will come in the middle of the night and take you away."Jace was just a six-year-old, after all. Terrified by Marshall's threat, he burst into loud, wailing sobs."I don't know anything! Mommy said Daddy Everest was taking her to the hospital for surgery. She also said the bad woman was gonna give her her heart!""Give her her heart? Why?"Marshall turned to Everest and Selene and demanded, "What exactly have you two been doing behind the Unit's back?"My death seemed to have completely shattered Everest's conviction. Like a man whose soul had been ripped out, he cradled my body and wa

They were soldiers who had been on real battlefields, so they knew what the faces of the dead looked like.They knew with absolute certainty that I was dead, yet seeing Everest's state, they didn't have the heart to tell him the truth.…Soon, the Commander, Marshall Vance, and the military doctor, Elias Lindstrom, arrived.Everest immediately looked at them, his eyes brimming with a desperate plea. "Commander, Dr. Lindstrom, please save my wife… I'm begging you."Marshall and Elias only needed a glance at my body to know the truth that I was dead. But faced with the raw despair and madness in his eyes, they could only step forward with heavy hearts."Colonel Quentin, let her go first. I need to examine her," Elias said.Only then did Everest reluctantly release his grip on me.Elias

  • Only If His Heart Still Echoed Mine   Chapter 6

    The young soldier's words hit like a bomb dropped into still water, sending a massive shockwave through the crowd.Everest's face went deathly pale. The wine glass slipped from his hand and shattered on the ground, sending shards of glass and wine spraying all over Selene.She stumbled back in alarm and gasped, "Everest!"But he couldn't even hear her. His eyes were bloodshot as he shoved past the young soldier blocking his way and rushed toward my room.It was empty, and there was no trace of me.There was only a massive stain of blood on the bed, soaking into the white sheets. It was such a jarring sight.Everest stared at me and started trembling uncontrollably. He dashed out into the yard and plunged into the vast, snowy-white world."Aurora!" he screamed my name and frantically searched every corner for me.The others in the yard finally snapped out of their shock and immediately joined in the search, until a young soldier shouted, "Colonel, there's blood here!"Everest s

  • Only If His Heart Still Echoed Mine   Chapter 5

    Everest and Selene had both changed into new clothes, looking as festive as a couple on their wedding day. With Jace by their sides, they looked like a happy, perfect little family.In contrast, I wore a torn coat soaked with blood, looking like a complete outsider. I refused to be their backdrop any longer. As I turned to leave, Selene's coy and cloying voice drifted over. "This stool is too heavy for me, Everest. Could you help me move it?"Everest's face was full of doting affection as he immediately tended to the tables and chairs for her. Then, she pulled out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from his forehead like a devoted wife.Soldiers in the yard couldn't help but tease them."You're one lucky man, Colonel Quentin.""Exactly. If Selene hadn't married so early back then, Aurora wouldn't even be in the picture.""Colonel Quentin, why don't you share a cross-cupped wine toast with Ms. Brooks?""Yeah! Do it! Do it!"As the soldiers' cheers grew louder, the
