C21 - Don’t tell anyone.

"Allison!" Shanna hugged her tightly. She burst into tears, causing everyone’s surprise. To give them privacy, Bea allowed them to leave the event first.Ally had no choice. She wanted to appear strong in front of Ethan's cousin, who had become a real friend to her in a short time, but tears were the only response she could give to Shanna’s childlike crying.Right. Besides her family and Ethan, she also hurt Shanna when she suddenly disappeared from their lives. Probably Zion and Leio too, not to mention Kattie and Michael.God, how selfish and cruel had she been? What kind of friend was she?"Ally, I’m so glad to see you again!" Shanna held her hands while still sobbing. "I searched for you, did you know? I didn’t believe Ethan. I knew you wouldn’t leave without a serious reason. And I was right.""I'm sorry," Ally apologized. Shanna deserved her apology. She shouldn’t have included her from the people she chose to leave. But at that time, cutting everyone off from her life made se

C22 - Ethan and Felicity.

Shanna became a regular visitor to Ally. Since learning about her situation, she made it a point to visit her to chat and lift her spirits. She also made a significant contribution to the shelter. And when Ally suddenly had trouble with a sponsor, Shanna volunteered to step in, even though Ally initially didn’t want to.But Shanna insisted. Ally allowed it, because whether she admitted it or not, she needed help. Even if it was just to extend her life a little bit longer, even if it meant her friend was throwing away her money. "I visited Auntie and Ky," Shanna said. She even took on the responsibility for her family. "How are they?" Ally asked."They're okay. Auntie is improving. In fact, she’s able to move around the house now. And Ky, her grades are really high. She’s making us proud," Shanna replied. Ally tried to smile. But the truth was, she wanted to cry. She missed her family. She felt like she had failed them. She hadn’t achieved any of their dreams. She was a failure. S

C23 - Once a believer.

"Do you want to tell me something, Ethan?"Shanna followed him as he stepped outside. He rested his arms on the glass railings of the third floor. From above, he could see what was happening in the bar below. He and his friends didn't mingle with strangers. They weren’t regular bar-goers. They only turned their private booth into a hideout."I feel like you have something you want to say but you’re hesitant," his cousin said, joining him. "Spill it, Ethan. Don't keep me guessing.""In this place, Shanna?" He asked. They couldn’t even hear each other clearly.Besides, if he were to talk to her, it wouldn’t be now when he had no proof of her mishandling the company’s money."Why not?" Just then, a bar attendant passed by them. "Hey, excuse me, give us a booth, please?""One moment, Ms. Montenegro," the attendant responded.He looked at his cousin.Shanna had grown up close to him. Among all his relatives, she was the only one he had a close bond with.Shanna wasn’t the only child of hi

C24 - Her karma.

He was only abroad for three days, but Ethan felt like he had been gone for three months, given the pile of work awaiting him.Andrea was disappointed that he treated New York like a province due to the short trip. When he and Felicity arrived, it was already his mother’s birthday. Then, the next day, they left. Moreover, why would they stay longer if Andrea didn’t even manage to smile at Felicity, even if it was just a fake smile? His poor girlfriend had been nervous the entire time.Ethan even had jet lag from the rapid time zone changes. But he still went to the office. He was never one to take a meaningless rest when he had more important work to do. That’s how his wealth was built. That’s how one distances oneself from past events that couldn’t be changed.Another reason he chose not to rest was Michael’s message that the investigation into Shanna had results.He couldn’t understand it, but he had a bad feeling about what he was about to learn. What had Shanna done this time? Was

C25 - Not a quitter.

"Shanna!" Allison didn't hide the disappointment in her voice at what her friend had said.Ethan was there with her. But he hadn't entered her room yet because Shanna was still asking for her permission."I'm sorry, Ally. I know I promised you," Shanna said gently, apologizing. "But believe me, you and Ethan need this. You have to let go of the pain in your heart.""You don’t understand!" Allison insisted. She didn't want to get angry with Shanna, but she was upset that Shanna disrespected her request not to tell Ethan about her condition. "I have my reasons, Shanna! And they’re valid. Now tell me, what will happen next? I don’t want to disrupt Ethan’s life! I didn’t hide for so long just to show up to him when I’m about to die…""No, please. Don’t always say that, Ally," Shanna pleaded, her own tears coming before Allison’s.She knew Shanna meant well by bringing Ethan there. But Shanna had to accept the truth that she was dying, and not even Ethan could change that. Allison just wan

C26 - I don’t believe you.

"When will you face Mr. Montenegro? He just keeps coming back here," Yanah asked her.She was referring to Ethan, who was waiting in the shelter’s lobby, hoping she might finally decide to face him."Let him be," she replied. "No one asked him to do that."She turned to go back to her room. She was about to leave earlier while Yanah was assisting her, but when she saw Ethan, she changed her mind.A week after his first visit there with Shanna, Ethan had never missed a day at the shelter. Every day, he hoped she would finally meet him. But Ally’s heart was as hard as stone. She remained resolute in her decision not to show herself to Ethan.The truth was, when she first saw him, she wanted desperately to go to him. She missed him so much that no words could describe the emotions she fought to keep from showing.She loved Ethan, and even the word “love” was an understatement of how much he meant to her. That’s why, even though it hurt, she didn’t want to let him back into her life. She

C27 - Rest your case.

“Did I scare you?” She asked Ethan.“Not a bit,” Ethan denied.When Ally woke up, she saw Ethan, who had fallen asleep at the side of her bed, holding one of her hands.He wasn’t kidding. He still loved her. She could feel it. She knew Ethan well. He wouldn’t waste his time coming here every day if she weren’t important to him. He was still the man she had loved and left two years ago.The same Ethan who was willing to defy even his own parents just to keep her in his life.He was the man who would move mountains just to be with her. But he was also the one she was trying to protect the most. She made the hardest decision when she left him because she didn’t want him to lose her through death. She thought that if he believed she no longer loved him, he would move on more quickly if he was angry.Compared to knowing she wanted to fight but that death would separate them.Then again, it seemed she had underestimated his love for her.“You’re lying,” she insisted. She knew he was scared.

C28 - The one that got away.

"I'm sorry, Ethan. I overslept," Felicity apologized as she arrived.He stood up, pulled a chair for her, and gently planted a kiss on her cheek."It's fine, Siti," he replied, returning to his seat."So, why did you move our date to breakfast? You know I'm not a morning person. But don’t get me wrong. I’m not complaining," she said with a smile. Maybe she was just really curious.He gave a slow smile, contemplating how to tell her that he wanted to end things with her."I know that smile, Ethan," Felicity said, her smile fading. For a moment, Ethan thought she looked insecure. "I hope I'm wrong. But I'm starting to feel uneasy about this breakfast. You have something to tell me, don’t you?""How about we eat first?" he said gently. He didn’t want to break up with her before they had even had a meal.Felicity nodded, but she looked sad. The confident smile she had when she arrived was gone.They ate in silence. Although he occasionally asked her about her work, her answers were short.

C29 - Have the will to live.

"Ally!"After spending several years with Michael in the past, Allison knew he was soft-hearted about many things—often the small things. But never in their five years of college had she seen him cry like he was now, holding her hands and weeping."Michael," she said softly, her voice breaking on the mention of his two-syllable name."Ally, Kattie and I have been searching for you for so long," he said. "Why did you leave like that? Aren’t we your friends?""I'm sorry," was all she managed to reply.She was glad to see her friend, but she wasn’t happy with the way their meeting had turned out. Since Shanna found her, this had become the usual scene. People she had cut out of her life kept appearing, crying rivers when they saw her condition."It's not too late, right, Allison? There's still hope for you," Michael asked, his eyes still wet with tears.She shook her head. Did she need to repeatedly tell each person that her condition was already hopeless?Michael bowed his head, as if t

C30 - A hurt smile.

“Thanks for bringing Michael here, Ethan,” Ally said when Ethan entered her room after Michael had left.“He’s just the first of many I’ll be bringing here for you,” Ethan replied, taking a seat on a chair beside her bed. She was sitting on the side of the bed, so they faced each other directly. Since her bed was higher, she was slightly higher than Ethan. “Except for Kattie, I’m still looking for her.”She chuckled softly. Yes, she was no longer angry that he was back. It seemed she was even growing accustomed to it. When he arrived late that day, she felt sad thinking he might not come. But it turned out he had brought her friend along.“Thank you,” she said again. “Honestly, I didn’t expect to see even one of you before I’m gone. I thought I would just die a lonely death.”“There you go again, Allison.” Ethan sighed and took her hands, then held her gaze with his intense stare. “Can we make a deal?”“Hmn?” she replied, seeming to drown in his gaze. She felt lost in his eyes, just a
