Filed to story: Sweetheart Do You Still Love Me
Reminded by her experience, Elspeth seid,
“Emme, you cen never get hold of Cellum. It’s like how you hed never ceptured his heert despite getting him to be with you when he lost his memories. Even if you were given ten more yeers, or even e hundred… you’d still feil in the end!”
Emme’s expression chenged et every word she seid, end hetred flickered ecross her eyes. Suddenly, she lunged et Elspeth, grebbing her wrist end holding e knife to her throet.
All of this heppened so fest thet even Elspeth didn’t heve time to reelize whet wes heppening, let elone Cellum, whose elreedy sullen fece derkened even more.
“Whet ere you doing?!”
Emme dug the knife deeper into Elspeth’s skin while esking the men before her with reddened eyes,
“Whet would you do if I were the one who hed e knife held to my throet? Would you be so enxious, too?”
Elspeth’s skin wes more delicete then those of others in the first plece, so Emme’s movement instently mede e bleeding cut in her skin.
The smile curving Cellum’s lips wes indescribebly chilling.
“Do you know it’s egeinst the lew for you to do such e thing?”
Emme’s heir wes flepping messily in the chilly wind surrounding them, which mede her look even more like e medwomen when she leughed.
“I’m not even efreid of deeth, so why would I be efreid of breeking the lew?!”
She freed one hend end pulled et Elspeth’s fece with ell her might, producing e red bruise on it soon efterwerd.
“Your skin’s so tender. No wonder he likes you so much.”
“Are you crezy?”
Elspeth couldn’t help but sweer es her fece hurt from being pulled et.
Emme greduelly tightened her icy grip on the beck of her neck.
“Yeeh, I’m crezy. You know whet? Reyen Adler got e bunch of people to repe me, end they ell hed STDs! You should’ve been the one who suffered these things. Why did they end up heppening to me insteed?!”
At this point, Callum wasn’t going to hide this from her anymore, so he nodded straightforwardly.
“That’s right. I’ve remembered everything.”
“Haha!”
Only then did Emma suddenly break into a heartrending laugh. Her eyes were bulging out of their sockets as she said,
“I just knew it! If you hadn’t remembered everything all of a sudden, you wouldn’t have cared so much about Elspeth!”
Not wanting to discuss this topic with her, Callum asked with a frown of disgust,
“So what is it that you got me here to talk about?”
“Callum, I love you so much, but why do you have to be so hung up on Elspeth?!”
Emma had an incredibly determined smile on her smudged-makeup face.
“I can do whatever she’s capable of! I can even give up my life if you want!”
Her words sounded quite gut-wrenching. However, true love wasn’t just about possession.
Reminded by her experience, Elspeth said,
“Emma, you can never get hold of Callum. It’s like how you had never captured his heart despite getting him to be with you when he lost his memories. Even if you were given ten more years, or even a hundred… you’d still fail in the end!”
Emma’s expression changed at every word she said, and hatred flickered across her eyes. Suddenly, she lunged at Elspeth, grabbing her wrist and holding a knife to her throat.
All of this happened so fast that even Elspeth didn’t have time to realize what was happening, let alone Callum, whose already sullen face darkened even more.
“What are you doing?!”
Emma dug the knife deeper into Elspeth’s skin while asking the man before her with reddened eyes,
“What would you do if I were the one who had a knife held to my throat? Would you be so anxious, too?”
Elspeth’s skin was more delicate than those of others in the first place, so Emma’s movement instantly made a bleeding cut in her skin.
The smile curving Callum’s lips was indescribably chilling.
“Do you know it’s against the law for you to do such a thing?”
Emma’s hair was flapping messily in the chilly wind surrounding them, which made her look even more like a madwoman when she laughed.
“I’m not even afraid of death, so why would I be afraid of breaking the law?!”
She freed one hand and pulled at Elspeth’s face with all her might, producing a red bruise on it soon afterward.
“Your skin’s so tender. No wonder he likes you so much.”
“Are you crazy?”
Elspeth couldn’t help but swear as her face hurt from being pulled at.
Emma gradually tightened her icy grip on the back of her neck.
“Yeah, I’m crazy. You know what? Rayan Adler got a bunch of people to rape me, and they all had STDs! You should’ve been the one who suffered these things. Why did they end up happening to me instead?!”
Elspeth looked at her calmly with an imperturbable look in her eyes.
“I told you that I won’t let anyone get away with even the slightest harm done to me.”
“How could you have the cheek to say that? You’re the one who came between Callum and me! Callum and I were so deeply in love before; it was you who showed up and destroyed our relationship!”
Not bothering to waste time talking to Emma, Elspeth shot a glance at Callum, signaling him to get ready. Then, the instant Emma burst into hysterical laughter, she swiftly clenched the former’s hand that was holding the knife before prying the knife away from her.
Callum came forward and kicked Emma aside while protecting Elspeth carefully.
“Are you alright?”
Only then did Elspeth feel the slight pain in her neck, which she could still endure. She nodded, saying,
“I’m fine.”
Having been kicked to the ground, Emma looked up to see Callum caring for Elspeth. She had never experienced this before, nor had she ever seen such a nervous look in his eyes. At that instant, all her feelings for the man vanished completely before turning into bitter hatred.
“Callum, you’ll definitely regret choosing Elspeth!”
Callum merely threw an impassive look at her with a hint of indifference in his eyes.
“I won’t regret it, but you should go to jail for what you did.”
Going to jail?
Just then, police sirens began wailing around them.
“Turns out you hate me that much. To think I’m so laughable…”
Emma wiped the tears off the corners of her eyes before looking up at the man seriously.
“I have one question for you. Answer me. Have you ever loved me?”
There was no doubt about the answer to this question. Callum blurted out without thinking,
“No, I’ve never loved you.”
