In the middle of the night, a slightly hoarse tone overflowed from the corners of his lips.

"I'm sorry."

If it had been before, he would have chosen to stay in Washington without hesitation, and be by Elizabeth's side to give her the most meticulous care, regardless of the other person.

But now, he can't do it anymore.

……

Suddenly, Elizabeth was shocked, and the ripples under her eyes spread more densely in an instant, but she was still almost paranoid about resisting the answer she had actually understood, and even pretended not to understand.

The girl pulled the corners of her mouth and raised a very gentle and understanding smile, shaking her head and saying,

"I don't need to apologize, I just don't want to stay in the hospital.

Fay, I want to be discharged, you can help me get discharged, and then we will go back together, you are not here these days, I have a lot to say to you, we ......"

"Elizabeth." Xuan Fei snorted, directly interrupting Elizabeth's flustered murmur between her lips and teeth.

Looking at the delicate face in front of him that was as pale and bleak as paper, Xuan Fei's eyes stabbed, and the palm that fell on the side of his leg was even more unconsciously hard and tightened.

In fact, Elizabeth had already noticed that something was wrong between them, otherwise she would have been arguing and coquettish to be discharged from the hospital when she saw him coming back from Houston.

However, in the past few days, she has been sleeping in the ward in a mess, and she has not pestered him to make trouble unreasonably.

Even eating is cautious, like an extremely sensitive little girl, and tries her best to be quiet and obedient.

Fear...... He would have abandoned her.

……

Suddenly, Xuan Fei's eyes were deep, half light and half dark.

It was his fault that made a poor girl so sad.

However, he could not allow the mistake to continue.

Xuan Fei's arm was raised, and he gently held Elizabeth's shoulder, which was trembling slightly unconsciously.

"I'm sorry, I can't stay with you." The tone between the words was deeper, but it was more determined, and every word fell into the air like frost with great clarity.

Suddenly, Elizabeth froze.

Even if she had a bad premonition, when she heard Xuan Fei say it to him with her own ears, she still couldn't control her breath.

A pair of amber eyes surged with enthusiasm, turning into crystal beads, staring at the corners of the eyes that had been wet,

"Snap ----"

It fell straight down his cheek and smashed on the back of Xuan Fei's hand, fusing with the thin beads of blood.

……

Elizabeth shook her head desperately, tears kept flowing down, her already pale face was like a ghost, and she pinched Xuan Fei's palm even harder, and her choked voice finally overflowed with irrepressible crying,

"Why...... Why......

Fay, you said you were going to marry me, and you would be with me forever? So what do you mean you can't accompany me?

Fay…… Why ......"

Xuan Fei's throat was astringent, as if he had been pinched by something, his slightly drooping eyelids closed, and then opened,

"I also thought that I could fulfill all my promises to you, marry you, and live an ordinary and happy life with you, but, in the end, I still can't lie to myself, let alone continue to lie to you."

Elizabeth's face was stunned, and her wet eyelashes trembled violently.

Xuan Fei raised his hand and pointed to the throbbing position on his chest, and his deep eyes were burning.

"He's been in my heart for so many years."
