Chapter 103
Chloe tossed and turned slightly, feeling the light. When she opened and closed her eyes, she saw the sunlight that was pouring in randomly through the large window. It seemed that the snow that had fallen all night had stopped.
Until yesterday, there was a blizzard, but now, it seemed that the sky was clear again. Like the fog in her heart had disappeared, and it became clearer, the weather that improved made her feel strange.
Chloe smiled and unconsciously reached for the spot next to her, but she reached nothing.
She could feel Eric’s vacancy.
“….”
As she finally lifted her eyelids, she turned her head to check again. The empty spot next to her didn’t feel warm.
For an instant, she could feel the volatility of last night’s events. Last night was, in fact, as nonsensical as a lie, and the sense that she was alone today was real… The thought that Eric would go back to the old days was always hard…
As her unstable mind dominated her heart, Chloe raised her body.
Then…
“You’re awake?”
At that moment, the door opened and Eric came in, holding a tray. When she looked at him with a slightly dumbfounded look, he smiled at her.
“I thought you would be hungry when you woke up in the morning, so I prepared something simple. I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”
“No, no. Eric. Wait a minute.”
Chloe shook her head and touched her forehead, not understanding the current situation.
“So, are you saying that you have prepared my breakfast?”
“That’s right.
Replying in a natural tone and moving closer to her, he put the bed tray in front of her while she was still on the bed and served her a meal. Even at this point, Chloe had not properly grasped the situation.
She couldn’t believe that Eric had prepared her breakfast! Just a moment ago, she had just thought that Eric had left her, so she couldn’t accept this situation all the more. Whether this was a dream or reality, she shook her head a few times.
“I…”
Chloe spoke in a small voice.
“I thought you left me again.”
Eric looked surprised. He froze in the same position as he raised his spoon to feed Chloe the soup.
“Why would I leave you?”
He asked in a voice that showed he really didn’t understand though Chloe didn’t answer. No, she couldn’t answer.
Why would he leave her? Hadn’t he left her in the past…?
She couldn’t bear to tell Eric now that she couldn’t get rid of the thought that she could do that this time, too, so instead of answering, she lowered her head. Then, she heard his sigh as he put down the spoon.
“Chloe.”
He then stretched out both hands to her and grabbed her cheek.
“Do you still not believe me?”
Eric lifted Chloe’s head. Even though her forcibly raised head made eye contact for an instant, she hurriedly avoided his gaze. His eyebrows narrowed slightly.
“Of course, you don’t believe me. I understand that you don’t believe me because of what happened so far. Chloe, but…”
He paused, raising his lips at an angle.
“I’m not one of those unscrupulous people who leave the woman they spent the night with.”
“Eric!”
Chloe screamed.
The corners of her eyes shook, and her cheeks flushed. As she instantly remembered what happened last night, she remembered herself clinging to Eric’s hand, almost crying. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to cry right now.
“That… is…”
As she shook his hand and bowed her head, Eric laughed as Chloe’s cheeks grew redder.
“Are you embarrassed?”
Chloe pulled her chin. Eric gently kissed her forehead and stroked her cheek.
“Me, too. I can’t say no.”
“Lies.”
“Why do you think it is a lie?”
“Because you… looked so fine.”
“No way.”
He then took her hand and held it to his chest.
Thump, thump.
Feeling his heart beating fast, Chloe widened her eyes and looked up at Eric.
“I am a human, too, Chloe. It’s natural to feel embarrassed when you think of the time you spent with the person you love.”
She was relieved and moved that he felt the same way, and now… she thought she would be okay as well. Even though she didn’t know what was okay, she would be okay anyway… A small smile crept across her lips.
“If you feel relieved now, let’s eat. I think I should go out after seeing you eat.”
When he gave her a spoon and spoke, Chloe asked, widening her eyes.
“Where are you going?”
Eric replied with a puzzled face.
“I have to go to the lab. I haven’t been down there lately.”
“Ah.”
She sighed and pursed her lips.
Recently, there was only one reason Eric went down to the lab to make a mechanical heart to be implanted in her. For Chloe, who knew this well, she couldn’t stop the outpouring sigh.
“Chloe.”
Eric looked into her eyes.
“Even if you’re sad, please don’t forget that it’s for you.”
“No. I’m not sad. But…”
Her words grew blurry. It was not that she was sad. It was strange to feel sad for someone who had to go to save herself. It was not that she was sad, it was not that she was just whining…
Chloe took both of his hands.
“Eric.”
Then, she slowly raised her eyes to make eye contact with Eric.
“No, darling.”
He thought it had been a long time since he heard that title from Chloe’s mouth, so he jumped up, and he could feel a sharp pain in his chest. These words felt as if she was making amends for the past and forgiving all of his mistakes, so Eric was happy, and he couldn’t hide his joy.
“Yes, wife. Tell me.”
She observed the joy spreading across his face and gave a small smile before coming to her senses. It was going to be worrying again.
“Your research…”
She asked cautiously.
“Will it really succeed?”
Before Eric could say anything, Chloe continued.
“I mean, to live. I didn’t think that would be possible… that’s why I feel sad. I feel that I will not be able to enjoy this pleasure for long.”
“Chloe. No, no.”
Eric grabbed Chloe’s hand tightly.
“I will make sure it succeeds.”
He uttered with eager eyes. As she mentioned, he wanted her to enjoy such overwhelming joy for a long time.
That was why he had to save her, and she had to live.
“You will live no matter what.”
Eric swore, gripping Chloe’s hand like holding on to a thread of vow.
“I promise you.”
After Eric went down to the lab, Chloe paced around the room. Her body was stiff, and it was not easy to move, but she knew that she needed to move more in times like this, so she put her feet to work. She walked around the room without stopping, and she walked again.
“I will make sure it succeeds.”
“You will live no matter what.”
Eric, who said that, looked really solemn as if he would do anything to save her…
Seeing him like that, she felt a bit uneasy.
She hoped nothing bad would happen.
Chloe got the idea that the anxiety that was brewing like this now was because she had become more or less happy. Since her unstable relationship with Eric became calm, she judged that it was anxiety caused by going back to the sick state of the past.
These were emotions that came from the underlying thought that someday they might go back to the past.
Chloe hated herself so much. She always finds herself trying to return to an unstable state…
She hated it now.
Even though she might be able to find happiness now and she could think that nothing would happen now… she kept trying to return to an anxious state.
She created anxiety somewhere.
This was probably because of something bad that had happened in the past whenever she felt the happiest. When she felt happy at a picnic, her father came and slapped her on the cheek, and when she felt happy after a ball, her mother came running to her and whipped her with a cane.
So at some point, Chloe stopped wanting to feel happiness because there was no other time as miserable as the moment when she went back after feeling happy…
…The result would be what it is now.
Chloe was a bit sad.
At that time…
“Excuse me, madam. Can I come in for a minute?”
Andrea’s voice came from outside the door.
Although Chloe was taken aback, she tried not to show it and told her to come in. Seeing Andrea come in the next moment, her expression was not good.
She began to feel anxious again.
“What is it?”
When Chloe asked, trying to calm her mind, Andrea still had a bad expression as she opened her mouth.
“There is something I must tell you first.”
