Chapter 175
Sensing Juan’s serious tone, Shelia clenched her fists, her emotions in turmoil.
“It’s cold outside. Can you take me back?”
“To the apartment building. I won’t come up,” Juan replied.
Shelia forced a smile. “Alright, I won’t force you.”
Juan let her get into the car. At least for now, she could still stay in that apartment. It meant she still had a chance.
As night fell, true to his word, Juan didn’t accompany her upstairs. Shelia rode the elevator alone, her heart heavy with despair. Once back in her room, she went to the window, watching as Juan prepared to leave. Her gaze fell on the fruit knife on the table, and a desperate plan began to form in her mind.
Determined, she dialed his number, her heart pounding in her chest. She waited for a while before he finally answered.
Picking up the knife, she spoke into the phone, her voice filled with desperation. “Juan, I really like you. I’ve adored you for a long time, and I’ve held on all this time because of you. If you don’t care about me, I’d rather die.”
“Don’t do anything stupid.” Juan sensed her desperation and frowned. ” Even if you hurt yourself, I won’t like you. Just face it.”
“I can’t live without you,” Shelia declared, hanging up before he could respond.
She went to the bathroom, lit some incense, and slowly undressed. She filled the bathtub with hot water and made a shallow cut on her wrist, watching as blood started to trickle down.

Soon, footsteps echoed in the hallway. Juan had the apartment key. He quickly unlocked the door.
“Shelia?” Juan searched the room and found the bathroom light on.
He immediately pushed open the bathroom door. The room was foggy
and scented with sweetness.
He found the scent oddly familiar, but before he could think further, Shelia rushed into his arms. Feeling her delicate skin and warmth, he shivered and instinctively tried to push her away, but Shelia held onto
his neck.
