The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Not Even Worth Regretting

Not Even Worth Regretting

What a burrkill.

In an instant, it felt like her sweet dream shattered-like thick clouds suddenly swallowed the sun.

Seeing James still holding Lily in his arms, John’s brow tightened. He strole up, clearly trying to snatch her back

into his armis.

“Get lost.”

James shot him a disgusted glare, not budging an inch.

Lily didn’t even bother pretending to be polite. Her voice was cold as ice. “John, do you not understand human

language? | honestly, seriously can’t stand you. Just looking at you makessick. What happened tonight-the

police will deal with it. Can you stop showing up just to disgust mei

“Lily, I know | let you down again tonight.”

John glanced at his own right hand-the one that had gripped her throat-and guilt surged through his eyes like a

flood. “Back upstairs, when | saw Elsa bleeding, | just assumed it was you who hurt her. That's why | lost it... hurt

you... | regret it so much. You once sold your own blood just to raise money for my surgery. No matter how

painful or humiliating the job, you did it. You even worked as a human punching bag for rich people just to make

fast cash. You broke three ribs for me. You were so good to me, and | was such an idiot-I kept Tetting you down.

You gaveso much... | can’t believe you'd suddenly stop loving me. Lily, I'm begging you, just giveone

last chance. Chwith me, please?”

Hearing him bring up the past, Lily paused for a moment.

Maybe it was because the Ginger family had hurt her so deeply. She'd been isolated, desperate for warmth. So

when John reached out a hand to help her during the bullying, she fell for him-hard and fast.

She hadn’t even known what kind of person he truly was,

Back then, she was unbelievably stupid.

She didn’t want to dwell on how pathetic she used to be. Her voice was cold and firm. “John, believe it or not, |

really don’t love you anymore.”

“That's impossible! If you didn’t love me, then what did everything you did formean? Breaking three ribs for

me-what was that?”

His voice pushed her to relive her own foolishness, and it made her sick.

She cut him off sharply. “It means | was blind! | wasted four years being blind-I’'m not going to waste the rest of

my life that way. Honestly, the more | think about all the stupid things | did for you, the more | regret it. Just

because you helpedthat one twhen | was being bullied, | threw myself into loving you before | even

figured out whether you were a person or a dog. Back then, | was such a fool. Loving you was the dumbest thing

I've ever done, and | refuse to be that dumb again. John, letmake it perfectly clear if | could go back in time,

on that snowy night four years ago, | wouldn't have saved you. If | had to do something that night-

She gave a bitter laugh.

I'd have shoved you straight into that river and sent you on your way

“What did you just say?”

John’s pupils contracted sharply.

She regretted saving him?

She actually said she wished she’d let him die?

The shock and pain slammed into him all at once, leaving him too stunned to even keep fighting for her.

By the the snapped out of it, James had already placed her in the car.

Ashton stepped on the gas. The black luxury vehicle sped off into the night, disappearing like a shadow

swallowed by darkness.

And just like that, Lily was gone.

That thought twisted a knife into his heart.

It felt like she might disappear from his life forever.

The pain in his chest grew unbearable. He didn’t even have the courage to chase after her. He could only clutch

his chest, his ores rimmed red, bending over slowly-his heart shredded into pieces all over again.

Later that night, he got in his car and drove.

No destination. No purpose.

Just a hollow shell of a man, wandering through the noise of the city like a puppet without strings.

When Lily used to live in their shared home, he always tried to cback every night.

No matter how busy or exhausted he was, the thought of coming hto her smile made all the stress melt

away.

Back then, he loved going home.

He looked forward to it.

But now... with Lily gone, that place didn’t feel like hanymore.

He didn’t know how long he drove.

When his phone rang, he picked it up immediately, hoping it was Lily.

It wasn't.

It was Qi An, one of his drinking buddies.

His eyes dimmed with disappointment.

Of course it wasn’t her. She'd already blocked his number.
