Finley elaborated. "It's good that she left. At least now my mind can be at peace."NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Daphne looked at the stubborn man and shook her head. "Mr. Dean, I'm sure you care about Mrs. Dean. Why must you deny it? Why have you refused to see her over the past two weeks?"

#hy not? He extended his blood-stained hand toward her.

"Ms. Stuart, my days are numbered. The longer I'm around her, the more reluctant I am to die. Meanwhile, Samantha feels guilty every time she sees me. I want to spare us from tormenting each other with our existence."

She glanced at his blood-stained lips, and her face filled with worry. "What makes

"What makes you think she feels guilty toward you?"

Finley replied with a wry smile, "She's here to repay a debt. She doesn't love me at all. She's only kind to me because saved her from a fire three years ago."

His words shocked her, and she blurted out. "So, she was the reason for your disfiguration. three years ago."

Finley instinctively clenched his fist. He never expected Samantha to go to such lengths for him. He asked. "What's your plan?"

"If a woman truly loves a man, she'll be devastated when she learns the man she loves has passed away. I believe Mrs. Dean is likely to commit suicide if she has strong feelings for you."

He didn't believe Samantha would love him deeply. "I don't think she would die for me."

"Well..." Daphne smiled.
