She reached under her pillow, pulling out a dagger.
This dagger was given to her by Scott when she fled home.
She was still clutching the dagger when Elijah saved her.
Initially, Elijah wanted to take the dagger, probably because he was afraid she'd off herself.
But she insisted on keeping it, and since then, it's been under her pillow.
The dagger once saved her life and held great significance to her. That's why she decided to take it with her when she left.
She didn't expect to face such a humiliation tonight!
Her pride was shattered, her sanity collapsed. Right now, all she wanted was to die with him!
Kill him, then end her own life!
She was a top medical student, she knew exactly where to strike to end his life fast.
She gripped the dagger tightly, pondering which artery would be the best to target.
Her eyes were locked on his face.
Under the dim light outside, his handsome features were visible.
His eyes were closed, sound asleep.
His neck was exposed outside the blanket, catching her attention...
She held the dagger, trembling as she lifted it.
Just one strike, and she'd be free in less than half an hour!
But when the tip of the dagger was aimed at his throat, her body suddenly lost strength.
Was she really going to kill him?
Did he really deserve to die?
If she killed him, she wouldn't be able to live. Could she really abandon her two children?
Too many thoughts flooded her mind, her eyes stinging with heat.
"You want to kill me?" His eyes fixed on her, his voice hoarse and shaky, "Violette, are you trying to kill me?"
She felt like her wrist was about to break from his grip!
"Elijah...let go of me!"
"You want to kill me, for your son's revenge?" He couldn't hear her anymore, he was lost in an abyss of grief.
She could no longer hide or make excuses, "Yes! I want to kill you, Elijah! I'm sick of your torment! I can't take it anymore!" She cried, pouring out all her feelings.
"Okay...okay..." He muttered, gripping her hand holding the dagger, aiming it at his heart, "Stab here!"
He was so strong!
She saw the dagger pierce his chest, blood spilling out!
She cried out in fear, trembling, "Let me go! Elijah, let me go! I don't want to murder! I won't kill you!"
"What are you so afraid of? Afraid I'll come back to haunt you after I die?" He pushed the dagger deeper into his chest, excruciating pain swept through his body, his voice grew shaky and weak, "I won't... I won't come for you... Violette... in the next life... I won't bother you again..."
She lost her sanity from fear, she screamed hysterically, "Is anyone there? Help—"
