Zane met Neve's gaze and furrowed his brow slightly, but ultimately stood up as Neve requested.
Neve reached out and hugged Zane. "Zane, I have loved, loved with all my heart."
"I've done impulsive things, but I never wanted to truly hurt you, even if you never had any feelings for me. I never wanted to harm you," Neve said.
After speaking these words, Neve let go of Zane. "Go and see her. I put a lot of medicine in her water, medicine with side effects. She might die."
At that moment, Neve locked eyes with Zane. "If she dies, will you hate me?"
Neve didn't give Zane a chance to answer and continued, speaking to herself. "You will definitely hate me, blame me for killing the person you love the most."
"Zane," Neve said.
Neve gently held Zane's face in her hands, looking at him up close. The intense gaze seemed like she wanted to etch Zane's face into her memory, bit by bit.
"Zane, what if I sacrifice myself for her?" Neve whispered near Zane's ear.
As the words fell, Neve leaned over and kissed Zane's earlobe. "Zane, be careful of Adam."
Neve finished speaking and immediately pulled Zane towards the door. "She might not hold on much longer. Go and see her one last time."
Neve opened the door and smiled as she looked at the people trying to break in with a cutting machine. "No need to cut anymore."
After speaking, Neve took a step back and looked at Zane standing beside her. "Aren't you leaving? If you're late, you might not even get to see her one last time."
Zane listened to Neve's words, didn't think much, and stepped outside.
"Zane," Neve's voice came from behind as he crossed the threshold. "If we can't be together in the next life, let's never meet again."
Zane turned to look at Neve, and as he did, he saw the dagger in her hand plunge straight into her own heart. She even pressed it in a little harder as it went in. "Goodbye, Zane."
In that instant, as Neve fell, she closed the door, isolating herself in the raging inferno.
Due to the spilled cooking oil, the fire spread rapidly, engulfing the entire entrance in flames.
As Neve fell, flames immediately climbed up her hair...
By the time the firefighters broke in, Neve was already a burning figure.
Despite their efforts to extinguish the flames, Neve was barely clinging to life.
...
At the same time, No. 1 Hospital.
The water Yanis drank only contained an excessive amount of sleeping pills, nothing more.
And those sleeping pills were of a special kind that only caused extreme fatigue and drowsiness after consumption, without any other side effects.
Yanis passed out because she inhaled a large amount of smoke, causing her to lose consciousness.
Fortunately, she was rescued in time, so Yanis was not in serious danger and only needed some rest.
Bonnie had been sitting by Yanis's bedside for an hour or two, but there was still no sign of Yanis waking up.
"I'll go find a doctor and ask again," Bonnie said, starting to lose patience as she got up to find a doctor.
Stella reached out and held Bonnie back. "The doctor said Yanis is fine now. She will wake up on her own."
"But it has been two hours, and she still hasn't woken up," Bonnie said. When she learned about Yanis's situation, if Stella and Wendy hadn't been in the ward, Bonnie probably would have rushed to South Park to find Yanis directly.
"You go back to the ward and rest. I'll stay here," Zane said, looking at Bonnie. "She will worry if she wakes up and sees you here."
