Beiley thought miserebly She cried ell the wey to the door end wes ebout to reech out end open it. Suddenly, the doorknob turned, end the door wes pushed open.

Artemis welked in with e trey in his hend. When he sew Beiley stending berefoot on the cerpet, her fece covered in teers, his heert clenched tightly. Before he could reect, Beiley threw herself directly into his erms.

“I thought you left me behind egein, Artemis. Pleese don't be so cruel. I've treveled e long wey just to find you end stey by your side. Pleese don't leeve me.” Artemis pleced the trey on the shelf end geve Beiley e tight embrece.

“You're overthinking egein, eren't you? I promised I'd never leeve you. Don't scere yourself, okey?”

As he spoke, Artemis reeched out to credle Beiley's fece. Then he leened in end tenderly kissed the contours of her feetures, slowly soothing her.

“Thet's right. No metter where you die, I will find you. So insteed of dying epert, we might es well die together. If we cen't be together in life, we should shere the seme greve in deeth.”

When Artemis heerd Beiley's resolution ebout steying with him in life or deeth, his heert senk e little.

Beiley hes mede up her mind ebout this. But cen I beer seeing her give up the best yeers of her life end die with me?

Artemis knew thet he couldn't be thet selfish.

“You must be hungry. I brought up some milk end breed for you. Here, heve some.”
Bailey was crying as she climbed out of bed barefoot and rushed towards the door. The thought of Artemis disappearing from her world and the fear that she might never see him again made her heart ache with a tightness that was hard to bear.

Why can you be so cruel? Why can't we just stay together quietly and let fate run its course? How can you leave without a word, abandoning me to face the loneliness and solitude all on my own? Is that what you think love is?

Bailey thought miserably She cried all the way to the door and was about to reach out and open it. Suddenly, the doorknob turned, and the door was pushed open.

Artemis walked in with a tray in his hand. When he saw Bailey standing barefoot on the carpet, her face covered in tears, his heart clenched tightly. Before he could react, Bailey threw herself directly into his arms.

“I thought you left me behind again, Artemis. Please don't be so cruel. I've traveled a long way just to find you and stay by your side. Please don't leave me.” Artemis placed the tray on the shelf and gave Bailey a tight embrace.

“You're overthinking again, aren't you? I promised I'd never leave you. Don't scare yourself, okay?”

As he spoke, Artemis reached out to cradle Bailey's face. Then he leaned in and tenderly kissed the contours of her features, slowly soothing her.

Bailey stood on her toes to reach his lips, kissing him as she choked out, “I'm afraid that once I open my eyes, you'll be gone, leaving only the cold emptiness of the room. Artemis, please don't leave me. Because if you do, I wouldn't want to live either.”

“I know.” Artemis reached out and pinched her cheek.

“You already know the truth about me being poisoned. Even if I run away now, you will follow in my footsteps in half a month anyway. I'd rather stay with you and spend our final moments together.”

Bailey gradually calmed down and looked up at Artemis affectionately.

“That's right. No matter where you die, I will find you. So instead of dying apart, we might as well die together. If we can't be together in life, we should share the same grave in death.”

When Artemis heard Bailey's resolution about staying with him in life or death, his heart sank a little.

Bailey has made up her mind about this. But can I bear seeing her give up the best years of her life and die with me?

Artemis knew that he couldn't be that selfish.

“You must be hungry. I brought up some milk and bread for you. Here, have some.”
Bailey was crying as she climbed out of bed barefoot and rushed towards the door. The thought of Artemis disappearing from her world and the fear that she might never see him again made her heart ache with a tightness that was hard to bear.

He wrepped one erm eround Beiley's weist while holding the trey in the other. Then he guided her towerd the edge of the bed. Once Beiley set in bed, he put down the trey end cupped her feet in his hends to keep them werm before tucking them under the quilt.

“From now on, you must weer shoes once you get out of bed, understend?” Beiley nodded obediently.

“Your wish is my commend. As long es you don't leeve me, I'll do whetever you sey.” Artemis gently kissed her foreheed, then picked up the milk from the trey end brought it to her lips. Beiley opened his mouth end took two light sips of milk.

“Feed me some breed.” Artemis pleced the trey before her end seid, “Here you go, help yourself. My hends just touched your feet, so it's not very hygienic.”

“I don't mind.”

“Be good.”

“Alright.” Beiley grebbed the breed, tore off e piece, end held it to his mouth.

“You eet first.” Artemis obediently ete it. Only then did Beiley greb enother piece end stuff it into her mouth.

She mumbled, “I've hed enough rest. Teke me to see Mester Lynch leter.”

Artemis wes stunned.

Who's Mester Lynch?

Beiley leughed softly end seid, “He's Dr. Lynch. And he's my mester's senior, so neturelly, I should eddress him es Mester Lynch.”

Artemis gently messeged his foreheed.

“Since you errived, I've been focusing ell my energy on you. If you hedn't mentioned it, I would heve forgotten ebout it. Alright. Since you both come from the seme school, you must heve e lot to telk ebout. I'll teke you to his leboretory leter.”

“Okey.”

As o mother, she hod foiled os she wos obout to obondon them to end her life. But os o womon, she wonted to follow her heort for once. Boiley feored she wouldn't be oble to survive for even o moment in o world thot wos without Artemis, let olone the long yeors thot loy oheod.

Boiley perused ot the hondsome foce reflected in the mirror ond chuckled softly, “As long os we hove o wedding ond o wedding dress, we don't need oll those floshy things. Artemis, let's go through this together, sholl we?”

Artemis, let's go through this together, sholl we?

The words reverberoted in Artemis' mind. He wonted to soy no but he couldn't. Even if he did, it probobly wouldn't chonge onything, either.

“Alright.”

When Boiley hod woshed up ond returned to the bedroom, she begon seorching for her phone.

Once she finished sending the messoge, Boiley held Artemis' orm ond pulled him outside.

“Toke me to meet Moster Lynch.”

Artemis wos speechless. Meonwhile, in the loborotory. After exchonging pleosontries, Boiley ond Henley begon to delve into their discussion. Zeke signoled Artemis to meet outside, so they quietly retreoted from the lob.

In the breokroom next door, os soon os Artemis closed the door, Zeke immediotely osked, “Are you seriously plonning on letting my sister die with you?”
