NovelBookChapter 364 Shattered Pride
It's hard to refuse the dying a final wish-especially when that person was once your first love.
But those four years with Lily, the way she’d stayed by his side and warmed his heart, had left a mark on John's
soul too deep to erase.
She was his sun-no fleeting crush could ever compare. In this life, John only wanted to grow old with Lily.
He feared that if he really went through with marrying Elsa, Lily might never look back. So he said, “Elsa, I'll take
care of you for the rest of your days. But my wife-can only be Lily. | won't marry you.”
“John...”
Elsa’s proud gaze wavered. Her delicate face crumpled under the humiliation as tears streamed down.
“John!”
Simon couldn't take it. He thought John should take responsibility for what he'd done to Elsa-especially after
sleeping with her. He also couldn't stand how John still obsessed over Lily. Fury surged in him.

His voice was biting. “Yours? Please. You slept with Lizzy. What right do you have to call Lily yours? I'll keep
seeing Lily. John, you better back off. The only thing you should be doing now is taking responsibility for what you
did that night. Own up and marry Elsa!”
“You're dead.”
John flew into a rage. When Simon/said he’d keep pursuing Lily, John punched him back without
hesitation.
The two were evenly matched-neither willing to yield. Soon, both their faces were bloodied and bruised.
But the hospital room was too/small. They couldn't move freely, and neither wanted to disturb Elsa. So they took
the fight outside.
Inside, behind the tightly, shut door, Elsa stood frozen. Her proud gaze shattered, hate swirling in her eyes
