All Chapters of Love Makes Me Wanna Be a Killer: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

"Do you want me to die too, Edward?" Hazel's voice was hoarse as she said it. Of course, Hazel was upset. Edward knew exactly what Hazel had been going through, even if he hadn't experienced it himself. The pain was truly unbearable. Hazel didn't know how to vent it all out, not even to describe how painful it was."Why are you talking like that?" Edward sounded just as upset as Hazel's accusation."You might not feel it, but... the pain is like..." Hazel stuttered.She didn't know what to say to make Edward understand just how painful it was. There was no desire to live, haunted by how dirty she felt, the mental wounds from knowing that the person she loved most had betrayed her so incredibly. Forget about sleeping peacefully for a moment. Her fears made Hazel want to end her life.Eric remained silent, though he couldn't bear to see Hazel's eyes welling up with tears. Indeed, all the plans Edward had devised were hazardous for Hazel's mental health, which was still recovering. But t

“A - what do you mean?” James asked in a soft, almost inaudible voice.Hazel immediately pressed her lips together, realizing that what she had said could make James suspicious of her. Hazel's slip could cause James to doubt her identity.However, Eric did not respond, whom Hazel had hoped would say something. Instead, Eric also stared at her with a confused expression.“Ah, I didn't mean about your illness. I...” Hazel didn't know what excuse to make.Her face looked very panicked and sweaty. Hazel didn't expect herself to get carried away and say something she shouldn't have said in front of James to continue hiding her true identity.“I'm sorry, Mr. Alexander. Miss Hazel always thinks negatively when she sees medicine.” Eric finally spoke up, causing both eyes to turn to him.“Why?” James was curious.“It’s a long story. But to make it short, Miss Hazel was once betrayed by a friend, leaving her with a trauma toward medications.”Hazel didn’t know where Eric had come up with that s

Their work trip was canceled after Hazel and James both decided not to go that day. Neither of them wanted to see the place that held their dark past.Since then, Hazel had been a little quieter than usual. Eric tried hard to persuade Hazel to go out and celebrate New Year's Eve together, but Hazel refused.“The snow season here isn't long, Hazel.” Eric placed a bowl of soup on the table right in front of Hazel.“If you want to go to the party, go ahead. I'm fine here,” replied Hazel, grabbing the bowl and immediately eating the soup Eric had made.Eric took a deep breath. He didn't mean anything by it. It was just that seeing Hazel remain silent like that made him a little worried.It was true that Hazel still couldn't come to terms with the snow, and Eric wasn't asking her to. But the fact that she wasn't trying to face her trauma would make her life difficult in the future.“Then what do you want to do? Just

Eric signaled James to leave immediately. But James didn't even glance at Eric and just stood there frozen, looking shocked, confused, and not knowing what to do as he saw Hazel in her worst condition.Hazel's legs were about to step closer to James, but Eric quickly stopped Hazel, taking the scissors from Hazel's hand, not caring about Hazel's terrible rebellion.“Let go, Eric! She has to die. That man has to die too!” Hazel hit Eric's body, which was holding her.“No, Hazel. Don't,” Eric replied.“But that man! That man beat me mercilessly; he stepped on my body like trash, and someone spat on me. And they...” Hazel's words were cut off as Eric stared at her sharply, shaking his head.If Hazel said everything, James would know that Hazel was Zia. Zia had returned with a new identity to seek revenge. And everything would not go smoothly. The meticulously planned scheme would fall apart.Hazel sobbed, and Eric could still feel her body shaking violently. It was clear that all her old w

Three days later, Edward arrived in New York on the very day Eric was finally allowed to leave the hospital because his condition had completely improved. Edward's arrival was a huge relief for Eric and Hazel.Although Hazel didn't say anything when Edward arrived, she still showed that she was happy to see her brother.“Are you sure you're okay, Hazel?” Edward asked, clearly more concerned about his sister's mental state. “You can still call me Zia,” Hazel commented, feeling awkward about how Edward addressed her. Edward chuckled, “If that's the case, you won't be able to embrace your role as Hazel fully,” he said. Eric also reacted to the conversation between the two siblings.Hazel had already confessed something shocking to Eric, but she had also made Eric promise not to mention it to Edward. And that weighed on Eric's mind as he sought a way to erase Hazel's desire to kill from her life.“I'm pretty surprised you two have gotten into such a big mess after only being here for a
