Jeffrey screwed up his face and stiffened.
“Mr. Harris?”
Lawrence laughed slightly and leaned his head against the bed as if he didn’t notice Jeffrey’s fright.
“Last night, I dreamed what happened years ago when I was in City B. At the time, I was together with Charlotte.”
Lawrence showed a certain amount of nostalgia when talking about the past.
“I was not sick and didn’t tell she who I really am. Her father thought his daughter was not supposed to suffer with a poor guy and opposed our relationship. To maintain our relationship, she almost fell out with her father.”
“On one of my birthday, she was locked at home by her father. But at the midnight, she managed to escape through a window and drove me to watch the stars on a mountain. However, on our way back home, a torrential rain poured down, causing a landslide, and we had an accident.”
Lawrence turned to Jeffrey and asked, “Do you know what happened later?”
“I was injured and lost my consciousness. She, a girl, carried me all the way home at the dark night. Because of that, her heels were wounded and she stayed in bed for a month before she was able to walk again. At that night, we were lost in the mountain and stayed in a cave for two days without any food or water. To help me survive, she bit at her own hand to feed me with her blood.”
To the present day, Lawrence still clearly remembered how the weak and fragile girl held him tightly and murmured to him, “Lance, don’t fear. If my blood is not enough, I can feed you with my flesh. Whatever it takes, I’ll never regret loving you!”
Before hearing the story, Jeffrey assumed that Lawrence had been living on because of Allison’s blood.
As a matter of fact, Allison’s blood only kept Lawrence from pain and getting ugly. What really made him stay was his hatred toward Charlotte.
Lawrence couldn’t understand why the girl, who once loved him with her life, gave up on him so easily?
Jeffrey dropped to his knees before Lawrence finished.
