Alyssa felt Jasper’s hot and heavy breath on her neck, like flames licking her skin, leaving

“Jasper, are you out of your mind? What’s all this nonsense? Jasper!” she exclaimed.
Jasper’s thin pajamas were soaked with sweat, and it seeped into Alyssa’s shirt as well.

only thought in
his mind was holding onto the woman he loved, despite how pathetic and shameless it
made him appear.
“Lyse, please don’t leave me… Don’t hate me… Jasper buried his damp face in her neck
and spoke in
tears. It was heart-wrenching to hear.

is this?”
“It’s not nonsense. It’s my true feelings…” he argued, stubbornly shaking his head. Drops

trickled down his face.
“Lyse, I love you…”

longed for day
and night.

about. I said I
love you… Only you…”
Then, he lost consciousness and slum
against her.
“Ugh, you fool! Why did you have to pass out here? You’re so heavy!” she exclaimed with
wide eyes,
feeling a mixture of anger and concern.
However, she unclenched her fists when she remembered his injuries. Instead, she placed
a hand on his
sweaty back and let out a sigh.
