Chapter 92
05. Ma Pero Con Moto (but as if alive)
It had been quite some time since Chloe and Eric had a conversation.
It had been about a week.
During this time, he had been sending her flowers, food, and letters that Chloe liked though he never came to see her. She was told that he wasn’t even stepping out of the lab. He must be making the mechanical heart.
However, she did not expect his research to be successful. It was not that she didn’t believe in Eric’s ability, but she had heard that a mechanical heart must be made based on the infinite power, and she knew that he had been researching infinite power for nearly a decade.
For over ten years, efforts have been made to develop infinite power, but all have failed. But now he suddenly succeeded?
It couldn’t be.
It couldn’t be.
Chloe had more negative thoughts, so she calmly accepted it… her own death.
She had learned earlier that she was going to die, so she had no intention of clinging to life. Since she had enough time to come to terms with her death, she was just calm now. She didn’t even want to think about her life anymore.
More importantly…
Chloe glanced at the clock.
Today was Eric’s birthday.
“This time, I will present the best day to you, not me.”
“Please join me, Chloe.”
Eric went out for the first time in a while, saying he had to go to the factory, and left Chloe to meet him in front of the clock tower by noon.
So Chloe remembered.
Today, noon, clock tower…
The hour hand on the clock, which was already pointing to 11 o’clock, was making her heart a little more impatient. She knew she had to go. She knew Eric would be waiting for her.
…But, should she go?
Chloe thought of Eric, who completely forgot about her on his birthday, and of her, who had been struggling with a cold while waiting for him, forcing herself to smile to make him feel better.
She hated it.
She hated Eric so much, so she wanted him to go through the same.
She knew that this was a very raw feeling, a naive idea. However, Chloe had to admit that she had a bad heart that wanted to repay him in some way. At the same time, she wanted him to cling to her a little more, and at the same time, she wanted him to be in pain just as much as she was.
It was a feeling that stemmed from the wrong idea of revenge, yet the vengeance within her was too great to ignore with a noble face.
Yes… she wanted revenge on Eric!
Oh, what an ugly feeling!
Chloe strongly felt the need to run away somewhere, but there was nowhere to run inside this closed room. She felt the tightness and cupped her neck with her hands. The sensation of her breath being choked in her throat widened her eyes.
As she closed her eyes tightly, the thought struck her that this shouldn’t be the case and she hurriedly ran to the medicine cabinet and swallowed the pills the psychiatrist had prescribed without water.
The effect wouldn’t work as soon as she eats it, but she still has some peace of mind. So, she went to the closed window and leaned her forehead against the window, breathing heavily.
She wanted to go back.
Where?
‘…Heath.’
She had only been there for a few months, but it still felt like her own home. Because of that, she wanted to go back to Heath. She wanted to hear Sophia’s annoying words. She wanted to feel the people’s bright smiles. She wanted to hear the sound of the sea waves…
Chloe felt like she was about to burst into tears because her situation was so pitiful, depressing, and painful.
Still, she didn’t cry.
It was extremely rare for her to cry. Looking back, it was only relatively recently that she had shed a tear in the past five years.
While she was thinking like this, the minute hand covered half of the clock, and it was thirty minutes until noon.
Maybe Eric was waiting.
But even if she prepared and departed now, she would be far behind.
Chloe leaned her forehead against the glass of the window, barely holding back the urge to jump out. Yes… if she didn’t go, he’d come back exhausted after waiting for her for hours. He would be waiting less than a few hours… so it was okay. It was fine enough that she didn’t have to worry about him…
It was just when Chloe was defending herself…
“Well, madam.”
Andrea’s voice came along with a knock on the door. Rarely did Andrea go to her without getting called, so Chloe told her to hurry in.
Then, Andrea opened the door and came in.
“What is it?”
“Excuse me, but…”
Andrea rolled her eyes back with a flustered face.
“The Third Prince has come to visit you.”
“Brother William…?”
Chloe was startled.
She never thought that someone would visit her, and she never dreamed that it would be William! Their last meeting was not so good, though Chloe was glad that there was someone who came to see her, so it was difficult for her to determine the purpose and intent of William’s visit.
She raised her voice somewhat.
“Come here. I’ll get ready and go soon, too.”
With her words, Andrea glanced at the watch, but Chloe did not feel the time anymore. As Andrea said she would take William to the parlor, Chloe ended the conversation.
“Chloe!”
As William opened the door and spread his arms toward her as she entered, Chloe smiled wide at him.
It was a smile she hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Brother. It’s been a long time.”
“That’s right. But before the season passes, I think I see you often compared to when I haven’t seen you in the past few years. It would have been nice if the snow had stopped, though! For your body.”
As he said, a snowstorm was raging outside.
To come through this snow… Chloe believed that William had come to comfort her, and she had no doubts. So, with a smile, she offered William a seat, and she sat across from him.
“How are you?”
“Good. Thanks to you, I’ve been doing very well. But Chloe, you…”
William spoke with a shadow over his face.
“Your complexion is not good. What’s going on?”
He knew the story roughly from Haras. The fact that Chloe asked for a divorce, and the Marquis did not give in, so the Marquis almost imprisoned her.
So, while he felt sorry for Chloe, he also felt a strong urge to bind her like the marquis. A feeling that any man would naturally feel—a feeling that stemmed from a possessive desire to keep his wife by his side—he easily judged so.
“I’m fine.”
Chloe, completely unaware of William’s feelings, replied casually.
“I will die soon anyway.”
“…What?”
This was something that even William did not know. Startled, he moved as if to raise himself up right away.
Chloe looked at him and smiled.
“I guess you didn’t hear this part.”
She squeezed her dry hand and pulled her chin.
“I will die soon, brother.”
The words were so definitive that William was at a loss for words. He gazed at Chloe, his mouth pursed, and she smiled bitterly.
“I have a serious heart problem.”
William’s gaze moved to Chloe’s chest. He was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say, and he stuttered, thinking. So, it meant that her heart was rotting right now.
…She was going to die.
William was dizzy.
“Does brother, the Second Prince, know this?”
“I don’t know that far, but Eric knows, so maybe brother knows as well.”
“Ha.”
William let out a laugh. He ran his hand through his hair and squinted his eyes.
“So, you were trying to put me to a woman who was about to die.”
“…What?”
Chloe asked back at the words she couldn’t understand, but William, who was already blind, didn’t care about her reaction at all.
He clenched his fists and jerked his body up.
“How could he do this?! How could he give me a woman who is about to die?! Brother clearly knows that if one is widowed by death, they will not be able to remarry! D*mn it!”
William paused, spitting out a curse he hadn’t seen before.
In the meanwhile, Chloe couldn’t understand her attitude a little. Why was he so angry? Was he angry that she was dying? Or was there… another reason?
She looked up at him with shaky eyes.
“Are you that angry about me dying?”
“Yes!”
William answered loudly.
“I was thinking of marrying you. I was trying to accept you with a divorce ticket! But dying? You’re dying…? You should have told me about such an important matter sooner!”
Chloe narrowed her brows unknowingly. The faded laughter has long since volatilized.
“If I had told brother, would it have changed?”
“It must have changed.”
He spoke, glancing at her.
“Because I wouldn’t have wasted my time coming to see you like I am now.”
