Jeremy had to lower thishands and let Ava pass. However, h remained on the girl.

Sorry if | add to your burden.But I'm doing this because | care abo you. We're friends.”

Ava slowed down. With her eyess closed, she finally stopped moving.

Now that | think about it... it seeenslike we're better not being friends.

I'm not someone comparabile to you. Let's stop causing

be stuck in his chest.

“You wantto stop caring about you?”

Ava swallowed hard. “Yeah, that doesn’t suit your temperament. So, stop being nice in front of me.”

“Okay, sorry if | disturb you. From now on, | won't care about you

anymore. So take care of yourself properly. At least eat even if you don’t feel hungry.”

Ava sighed in disbelief. Every word that cout of Jeremy's mouth felt like a needle in her heart. Not wanting

to hear anything else, she continued walking. This time, she really wanted to disappear from Jeremy. She didn’t

want to care about him anymore.

However, as the night came, Jeremy’s image was still painted in Ava’s mind. While sitting on her knees on her

bed, she kept looking at the clock. In her heart, she wondered.

Had Jeremy taken the pills? Was he asleep now? Sleep forever?

Imagining it, her body trembled. While hugging herself, Ava started biting her nails.

“Does he hate me? Will he haunt me?”

Ava’s jaw moved faster. With those thick eye bags and slightly messy hair, she looked terrible.

“Then what will his family do to me? They will curse at me? They will throw stones at me? Including the

children?”

Unable to deal with the voices in her mind, Ava covered her ears. Her eyes were also tightly shut.

At that moment, Jeremy’s smile appeared in her memory, and also his awkwardness every the asked how

she was doing, his sincere gaze when giving her the dress last night.

Suddenly, Ava started sobbing. Folding her arms on her knees, Ava hid her face again.

“I'm an evil. He was always nice to me, but | killed him instead.”

Feeling short of breath, Ava started pounding her chest. She raised her face to inhale. Unintentionally, her eyes

crossed the two pills on the table. Suddenly, an idea appeared, stopping her crying.

“Wait. Jeremy doesn’t have to die. He just has to pretend.”

Ava’s eyes began to radiate hope. Her back straightened.

“Yes! He can’t take those pills!”

After wiping her eyes, Ava got up and grabbed the pills on the table. Holding it, she ran to his room.

“Jeremy, are you asleep? | have something to talk about.” Ava

knocked on the door hastily. Her heart was pounding.

Luckily, the door opened. However, the face that appeared was not friendly.

“What do you want to talk about?” Jeremy asked dryly.

Ava had sdifficulty catching her breath. Before she could open her mouth, Jeremy interrupted, “You're not

the only one busy, Miss. Connor. So am I. Instead of wasting my twandering around like this, you should just

go.”

Jeremy was about to close the door. Ava quickly pushed it back.

“Wait! | have something to explain to you. Can | cin?”

Jeremy’s eyebrows knitted together. After a short contemplation, he shook his head. “You are nothing toand |

don’t care about you anymore. So, good night.”

“Wait! Jeremy....”

Ava tried to push the door, but she realized that Jeremy was stronger. The only way she could think of was to slip

through the remaining

gap.

However, just as she slipped her finger in, she reflexively withdrew her hand and screamed in pain.

“Ahh.... Engh,” Ava waved her hand before grasping her injured finger. Her tears clotted to hold back the pain.

Meanwhile, behind the door, Jeremy stood pensive. His eyebrows knitted together, his breath rumbling. “Did her

fingers get jammed?”

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door. “Jeremy, please open the door.” Ava’s voice was shaky and a

little hoarse.

Jeremy could not bear to ignore her. He finally met her again. “What is it?” he asked curtly.

However, seeing the blood on her fingers, he froze. His breathing becheavier. His heart was pounded with

guilt.

“Please, | need to talk to you. It's important,” Ava groaned as she hid her hands behind her waist.

Jeremy studied her. “What do you want to talk about?”

“I can’t talk about it here. Please letin.” Ava lowered her voice.

“You want to go into the room of a man who is not your friend?”

Ava sighed tiredly. “Okay, I'm sorry, | admit it was my mistake. I ........"”

Ava gasped because Jeremy had grabbed her hand. His expression. was still fierce, but Ava felt that the

impression was different.

“Let's treat your hand first.” He pulled Ava in then told her to sit in a chair near the wooden table.

While Jeremy grabbed the first aid kit, Ava glanced at the supplement

container beside her. A glass of water was also available there. Subconsciously, her hand gripped the real

supplement pills tighter.

“Letsee your hands.” Jeremy knelt down in front of Ava.

Ava quickly held out her injured hand. She didn’t want Jeremy to pull the wrong hand.

“It’s okay. It’s just a minor injury. | can treat it myself later.”

“Shut up.”

Ava held back her words. Her eyes fell on how Jeremy furrowed his

brows.

“Your fingers are bleeding and shaking like this, you still say it’s okay?

Very carefully, Jeremy cleaned the wound.

“Ahh...”

“It hurts?” Jeremy patiently fanned the wound he had just applied alcohol to. Ava’s eyes filled with tears

watching it.

“Why do you care aboutso much?”

“Because | still consider you a friend,” Jeremy said, hal tering. His focus was more on the red medicine in his

hand.

“That's all? A friend?”

Jeremy raised his gaze. Looking at the pale face covered in en

he tilted his head slightly. “You want more?”

“It seems impossible that there is a man as good as you, a man wh always cares about a friend like me. I'm a

bad person. There's no benefit in you being good to me.”

Jeremy snorted. While treating the wound, he spoke in a small voice.” I'm not doing this for you, but for myself.”

“What does it mean?” Ava inquired stiffly.

After putting the red medicine bottle it in the box, Jeremy met Ava’s gaze. “I can’t calm down if something

happens to you. Your sad and tired face always bothers me.”

A strange vibration spread through Ava’s heart. All her emotions disappeared, replaced by a painful feeling of

warmth.

“You care that much about me?” Her vocal chords were tangled with.

guilt.

Jeremy blinked sadly. “Yes. That's why | was very angry when you rejected my concern earlier.”

A single tear fell from Ava’s eye. Before she could raise her hand, Jeremy wiped it away with her thumb.

“Why are you crying? Did my words bother you again?”
