He Finally Noticed Me Right When I Was Leaving novel Chapter 199

Pierce stood silently in place, his eyes dark, his emotions unreadable.

Lyra slowly raised her gaze and let out a soft sigh. "Don't worry, I don't blame her. As a woman, I actually feel for her. To have someone you love so deeply in your heart, yet be entirely unable to be with them..."

As she said this, she lifted her eyes slightly, casting a subtle glance at Pierce.

Sure enough, she saw his brows pull into a slight frown, and his gaze turned razor-sharp.

Lyra lowered her head, suppressing the smile tugging at the corners of her lips, and continued, "Pierce, honestly, I think rather than the two of you dragging this out and torturing each other, it would be better to just set her free. Then you could start a new life too, couldn't you?"

Pierce rejected the idea almost immediately, letting out a cold scoff. "Impossible."

Lyra continued to gently persuade him. "But tearing each other apart like this doesn't make you happy either, does it?"

"Even if I'm not happy, I won't let her get what she wants." Pierce's voice held a note of absolute finality. "She's stuck to me for the rest of her life. No one is taking her away, not even herself."

A flicker of displeasure crossed Lyra's face, and she asked softly, "What if she insists on leaving?"

"Then she'll have to peel off a layer of her own skin."

"...What if she's willing to peel off a layer of skin just to leave?"

Pierce chuckled darkly. "That's not up to her. She provoked me and thinks she can just run away? That's not how things work with me."

A trace of venomous resentment flashed through Lyra's eyes.

Pierce took a deep breath, clearly losing patience with the topic. "Let's not talk about her. Do you feel unwell anywhere? I've already instructed the hospital to provide you with the best treatment and medication, and I've hired top-tier nurses. Just focus on recovering."
