Chapter 1384 Not Worth It
That night, the boat headed straight to the island. Solomon did not leave his cabin at all while Ichika
kept guard outside. Sabrina had asked her to join her at her cabin as it was very windy out there, but
she refused to do so.
She was that silly.
When Solomon opened the cabin door in the morning, he saw Ichika curled up on the floor. She was
about to fall asleep.
Even though she was dressed in a windbreaker, she was so cold that her face had turned black and
her body had contorted into a fetal position.
Solomon froze on the spot.
As the sun had not risen yet, there was merely a white light that gleamed across the surface of the sea.
Accompanying it was a hazy fog that shrouded his vision.
His eyes were fixated on Ichika who was enveloped by the fog.

In the end, she woke up with a jolt because her head had accidentally hit the door as she fell asleep.
“Darling, y-you’re awake?”
She opened her eyes.
Her vision was still blurry. Hence, she could not react at the sight of Solomon’s feet.
The frosty sea breeze brought a shudder down her spine. It was only then that she looked at his feet
clearly. Instantly, a hint of joy appeared on her ashen face.
She looked up at Solomon.
After what seemed like an eternity, Solomon finally crouched down in front of her.
“Is it worth it? You saw what happened yesterday. I don’t love you at all and you know very well that I
am seriously ill. I will probably not recover in this lifetime. Is it worth it for you to keep sticking around?”
His voice sounded chilly and dead at the same time, like the breeze that was blowing across the sea at
that very moment.
Ichika’s eyes suddenly widened. In no time at all, she stood up in front of him and said earnestly, “It is
worth it. Darling, you are not ill. It is just that you don’t have anyone by your side. From now onward, I
will always be there for you.”
By my side? Solomon was stunned. He did not expect Ichika to be merely taken aback by his cruel
words.
As if someone had pierced him in his heart, his pupils constricted in response.
To him, this was a very extravagant phrase.
He had been all alone since he was young, and nobody had wanted to stay by his side.
“Do you know why I married you?”
Amidst the cold wind, he finally heard himself speak up hoarsely.
Ichika was silent.
“I married you because you look like her. Not only do your features mirror hers, but you’re also at that
age when I was most into her. Don’t you get it?”

It was cruel and despairing.
Sasha’s face slowly drained of color.
She looked up at him with her lively almond eyes. Right before they lost their luster, her eyes turned
red, and they were soon brimming with tears.
Solomon saw that, and a snigger flashed across his pale lips before he stood up.
“Then can you treat me only as Ichika from now on? I know I am not as good as Sha, but if you are
willing to just take me as Ichika, I am willing to spend the rest of my life by your side!” Ichika choked
out.
Ichika knew very well that she was merely a substitute, but she still promised to stay by his side.
However, her only request was to be Ichika from now on. She would no longer be anyone’s substitute
and would only be herself.
Solomon stopped in his tracks.
He stared ahead with his eyes fixated to the front. His eyes reddened while his thin lips pursed slowly
into a thin line.
Nevertheless, he did not turn around as he headed straight back to the cabin.
