Everett looked at her seriously.
"Aurora, of course I'm not afraid of dying. If I were, I wouldn't have come to Country S to see you again."
Aurora bit her lip, eyes shimmering with tears.
"Everett… are you really not afraid of him? What if one day you really just… don't wake up?"
"Then you can sleep with me forever. Problem solved."
Aurora's chest rose and fell with emotion. She was overwhelmed—touched, surprised, angry, and deeply unsettled…
She couldn't even sort through it all. But Everett's actions—weren't they proof he was completely in love with her?
What other guy would still come all this way chasing after her? Most would've run the other way by now.
By all logic, she should treasure Everett. But she couldn't help fearing he'd get hurt.
If something really happened to him… Aurora would never forgive herself.
