Chapter 423 Chapter 423 Giving Up I could feel my consciousness slipping away, and I didn't have the will to fight anymore. I used to have Mom, but she was gone now, leavingall alone.

At first, there was Leonard. Our love had been tumultuous, but it was still love. Then, there was Alisa, but she had Julian now. It felt like without any support, life and death didn't hold much significance. A smile tugged at my lips as I listened to Julian ramble in my ear. Those two were a perfect match. They would be fine without me.

I didn't believe for a second they wouldn't sendoff with sflowers. Even if they didn't, there was Riva. When she brought flowers for her dad, she'd surely remember me, right? Then, the image of Jack flashed through my mind. The corners of my mouth curled up even more. He didn't strikeas the sentimental type. He probably wouldn't bringflowers either. "The patient's blood pressure is dropping, and her will to survive is weak." That was Julian's student. I could tell he was panicking as he knocked over a nearby medicine bottle. But I was too exhausted to care about that. Then, I heard Jack's voice. "The medication is ready. Hurry up!" I wanted to tell him I didn't need any meds. Just lettingbe was fine.

At that moment, I felt a strange peace wash over me. Living was nice, but dying didn't seem so bad either. I felt free from all attachments. Suddenly, I felt a warm touch on my hand.

"Eva, I dare you to try dying on me." Jack's voice was a mix of authority and humor.

What, was I supposed to die twice if once was not enough? But I had no energy left to joke, and soon, I lost consciousness again.

When I woke up, my whole body ached, and I felt dizzy. The familiar smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils, and I realized I was back in the hospital.

As I opened my eyes, someone in protective gear was watchingclosely. I nearly jumped out of bed in shock, but when I recognized his eyes, I took a deep breath. "What are you doing here?" Jack was tall, and the protective gear looked custom-made as it fit him surprisingly well. As I pondered over it, he finally said, "Oh, you're finally awake." "Yeah, obviously." "Are you feeling uncomfortable?" "Nope." "Do you want to eat?" "Nope." "Well-" He seemed a bit choked up, and I could see fogging on his visor. Gently, he held my hand. "You're back, thank goodness." "Eva, you need to hurry up and get better. You nearly scared the shit out of me. You owefor this, so you have to get better, got it?" I instinctively rubbed his glove a little, then managed a smile. "Okay." I was unconscious for three days and nights before finally regaining consciousness.

By the tAlisa arrived, she was already crying her heart out. "Eva, you really scared me. You can't let what Leonard says get to you; just ignore him like he's nothing. Do you know your condition-" Her voice trailed off, and I could see the worry on her face. But I understood what she meant. I had relapsed for the third time.

I had researched it before, and I knew that with three relapses, the mortality rate increased significantly. In other words; my condition had to be pretty serious. I could die at any moment. I looked at Jack. "I've relapsed, haven't I?" He gazed atintently but said nothing.

I looked over at Alisa, who immediately stood up pretending to e fetch a cup of water. I sighed.

"Alisa, life and death are out of our hands. Don't worry, y've made my peace with this a long tago." Chapter 424 A Graceful Exit
