In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1658

He hung up and patted me on the shoulder gently. “Don’t worry. The doctors are near and will be here soon.”

I leaned against Ashton as I watched the footage of everything happening in the church, terrified that I would accidentally miss something.

Marcus’ eyes were fluttering open and closed weakly. It was as if he was about to fall asleep soon.

“You’re actually crying for me for once. Even your voice sounds different from how much you’re crying. What if I can’t remember what you sound like?”

Camelia turned around and looked at him through the veil. “No, no. Just hold on for a while longer. Someone will be coming, soon, so please…”

“Scar…” Marcus whispered weakly. His gaze was already beginning to go out of focus, and he reached out feebly, trying to take off her veil. “C-Can I take your veil off? After that, w-we’ll be married. Then, you’ll be my wife officially. It’s okay, even if no one knows it happened. I-I just want to take another look at you. Is that okay?”

“Y-Yes! Okay! As long as you stay awake, anything is fine!”

Her tears slipped through the gap between the veil and fell on the corner of his eye. The heat of her tear dissolved against the pallor of his skin.

“Y-You’re the best…”

His hand abruptly fell to the ground and collapsed against the vibrant edge of Camelia’s dress.

Marcus closed his eyes for the last time.

That one tear was the closest he had ever gotten to the person he loved.

Camelia went crazy with grief. Her entire body racked with sobs as she held him closer, and no matter how much we talked to her, she didn’t let go.

“Marcus is gone. Please let us bring him back.”

“H-He’s not dead! He’s just sleeping. He’s waiting to open my veil. He hasn’t even said he l-loves me, so he can’t die. Not yet.”

We failed to save Marcus, even with all the medical equipment on hand.

The funeral was scheduled to be three days later and was settled by both of us. Camelia just locked herself at home and didn’t show up.

After the funeral ended, I personally sent Tobias home.
