"Since you recognized them, you know exactly whose potions they are," I spoke calmly, though my tone carried a hint of mockery. "How dare you show your face here?"Eliza's face instantly turned ashen. She snarled through gritted teeth, "Amara! You worthless bitch!"She approached step by step, her eyes filled with hatred, as if she wanted to tear me apart. "You think creating new potions will redeem you? Keep dreaming!"I ignored her hysterics, focusing only on protecting the patient behind me."If you have something to say, we can discuss it elsewhere.""Elsewhere? How convenient for you!" She laughed scornfully. "If it weren't for you, how would I have fallen so far? My research was rejected, my reputation destroyed, my parents practically disowned me! And even Alaric..."Her voice faltered at mentioning "Alaric," her hateful gaze fixed on me. "You think you've really won?"The children studying with me cowered behind me, frightened by her outburst.I extended my arm to shield them,

Mason rushed in.Without a word, he pulled Eliza away.She struggled briefly, then turned to see who it was. Suddenly, she laughed coldly. "Well, well, Amara, that didn't take long. Already seduced someone new?"Her mocking gaze swept over Mason and me before she loudly declared, "I always told Alaric you never truly cared for him! Look how quickly someone's defending you now, though he wouldn't believe me! This is your true nature!"Mason frowned, positioning himself in front of me, his voice stern. "Miss, show some restraint. This is a place for healing patients. If you want to cause trouble, go elsewhere, but don't frighten the patients and children."Eliza paused momentarily, but quickly recovered, her face full of contempt. "Who are you to her? What right do you have to talk to me about restraint?"Ignoring her madness, I gathered Caleb and the other children, softly reassuring them. "Don't be afraid. Teacher is here. Everything's fine now."Watching us, Eliza seemed unable to con

Her words shook me to my core, but I quickly composed myself, saying coldly, "Alaric, I've already died once. Just pretend I'm truly dead and let us both move on.""No!" He jerked his head up, his voice tinged with desperation. "Amara, I can't! Even if you hate me, despise me—hit me, curse me, anything—but don't tell me you're really gone. I'm begging you, please come back?"My chest ached with heaviness, but I responded calmly, "Alaric, you never wanted me. Our beginning was a mistake."He shook his head, his tone resolute. "That's not true. I was the one who was wrong! I was such a fool. Only after you left did I realize how important you were to me!"Seeing that Alaric was completely ignoring her, Eliza suddenly snapped. Like a madwoman, she pulled out a silver dagger from nowhere and charged at me. "Amara, die!"I didn't even have time to react, but Alaric immediately stepped in front of me. He took the stab meant for me, groaning in pain as he collapsed to the ground."Stop!" Maso

I looked at him, my voice calm yet resolute: "Alaric, no matter what, those five years are gone. Even though I'm still alive, I feel... you're no longer my choice."The color drained from his face, but I continued. "Don't force me to view everything we had as a mistake. Or would you prefer I were truly dead so you could finally let me go?""Don't!" He cut me off abruptly, his eyes filled with profound grief, his voice pleading."Amara, I was wrong, truly wrong. As long as you're well and don't leave me like this again, I... I can step out of your life."His expression made me pause momentarily before I softly replied, "Good. Then I want you to let me go completely."He remained silent for a long while, bowing his head as if finally understanding something. "I'm sorry," he said hoarsely.Then he turned and left, his departing figure defeated and lost.Mason comforted the children and other patients, ensuring no one was hurt before approaching me. "Are you alright?"I shook my head, sayi
