Chapter 351 Sephiria’s Request
Cindy’s POV:
Cindy, come. Sit beside me,” she said weakly, patting the edge of the bed.
I walked over and sat down beside her. Then I picked up the bowl of steaming soup and a you feel spoon. Sephiria, you look a little better today. Have more of this soup. It’ll make better.
However, Sephiria suddenly reached out with her thin hand and held my wrist as I lifted the spoon.
Her grip was weak, but determined.
“Nah. Those things can’t save my life.” She shook her head. Her eyes, which had been cloudy before suddenly looked unusually clear, as if she had already seen beyond the line between life and death.
“Sephiria, what are you saying? You just finished half a glass of medicine. Rupert’s medicine works. As long as you keep taking it on time-” I began to panic.
“Cindy, listen to me first.”
Sephiria interrupted me. Her expression turned serious, carrying a kind of pleading that felt like someone entrusting their last wish before death.
“I know my own body better than anyone. The Bond-Breaking Order has already shattered the foundation of my soul. This body of mine is only lingering because of the medicine you brought. It’s nothing more than the final struggle before the end. For me, death is not something to fear. It’s freedom.”
She looked at me as tears slid down from the corners of her eyes. There was reluctance in them, a final attachment to the world, and also a helpless, bitter smile toward fate. “I have to endure the pain of a torn soul every day if I continue living. I have to face the biting cold and the memories of betrayal again and again. That’s the real torture.”
“Sephiria…” My voice choked as tears blurred my vision again. I could not argue with her, because I knew she was right. For an Omega whose heart had been shattered and whose soul had been destroyed, sometimes living required far more courage than dying.
“Cindy, promise me something.” Sephiria’s fingers tightened slightly around my wrist. “If… if I am truly gone in the next few days, you must never seek revenge for me.”
I lifted my head sharply and stared at her in disbelief.
Why? They turned you into this! That vicious woman, Leanna, and that heartless jerk, Niall. Why should they be allowed to walk free?” I argued through clenched teeth, the chest almost burning away my reason.
“Because you can’t defeat him.”
