His voice shook slightly, mixed with pain and a hint of harshness. 

“The card, hand it over. Even if I die, I will never, ever be with you” Ellie was scared speechless by Alex’s wild actions, unable to string roger, coherent sentence. But her attitude was so firm, so determined. 

Alex slowly let go of Ellic, both of them trying to calm their chaotic fireaths. They gazed into each other’s eyes from a close distanc each other in their mouths, but the scent of blood was even stronger, 

Alex, enduring the pain, gently touched his tongue with his fingertip. Seeing the bloodstain on his fingertip, Alex’s gaze once again sented on Elle 

He paused for a few moments, then handed the card to Ellie, saying, “It’s okay if you don’t choose me, but your Grandpa. He doesn’t wake up much these days and keeps asking for you”

When Carlos was mentioned, Ellie’s expression softened, and when she looked into Alex’s sorrowful eyes, her gaze became firm. “I can take your card and visit Grandpa Carlos, but you have to promise not to intrude in my life anymore!” 

Alex’s breath caught. With his pained eyes restraining something, he just stared at Ellie without saying a word. After quite some time, he finally took a step back 

Alex said. “This card has no limit. You can buy a house, a car, or even. In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to say the word “dowry”

Ellie said. “I don’t believe you. Swear on the person you care about the most. If you break your promise, she’ll have nothing to live for and nowhere To turn to in death.” 

Alex stepped forward, gripping Ellie’s shoulders tightly with both hands. 

Looking down at Ellie, his voice was shaking as he said, “Ellie, you always said the most selfish person was me, right! Of course, the one I care about most is myself” 

They exchanged glances, and Ellie sneered, “Of all the thousands of things you’ve said to me, this is the only one 

te that’s true.” 

Alex’s chest noticeably heaved as he stared at Ellie for quite a while. His hands, which had been gripping Ellie’s shoulders, slipped down weakly, and Alex vowed. “If Lever bother you again, let my life be empty and alone, with nothing to hold onto, 

Before he finished speaking, Ellie pushed Alex away and left without turning back. After taking a couple of steps, Ellie turned around. Then she raised her hand and slapped Alex 

“You better keep you 

your word! With that, Ellie finally walked away. 

On the sidewalk next to the road, Ellie looked into the distance. Even though the sun had set, it still hurt her eyes sharply.

Nancy immediately noticed that something was off with her son. His eyes were as red as a frog looking for its mother. Nancy swallowed the words that came to her lips and chose not to expose him 

“The dinner Exan just brought, let’s eat together, Nancy suggested, and the three of them gathered around the table for dinner. 

Alex picked up the chopsticks, but he put them down without taking a bite. He pushed the inside of his cheek with his tongue, and the sharp pain quickly spread throughout his body, making his eyebrow twitch with the throbbing pain
