Chapter 666 I Wont Let You Die (1/2)

”No! No! You are not a monster! Don't say that.” Sean patted Emily mildly on her back and consoled her. He clutched her hands so tightly as if he wanted to transfuse power into her body. ”I fell to the ground by accident. It is not your fault. You don't have to worry about this,” Sean soothed.

But Emily was too intelligent a girl to be so easily fooled. She saw through his lie instantly and started to weep with her head hanging low. ”You can't fool me, Sean. I did it, right? I hurt you. You are always so very careful about everything. How could it be possible that you'd hurt yourself in a clumsy accident?” Emily spoke in a very low tone as if she were whispering, and feeling very guilty. .

Sean, however, was still trying to sell her on his lie, ”Even the best horse sometimes stumbles, not to mention a common man like me. I hadn't slept well for quite a few days, so I tripped and fell by accident.”

Emily cried harder and her eyes went red with tears. She shook her head and sobbed, ”No, that's not true. You're lying. I remember. It was I who hurt you.”

Sean was shocked by her words. A sudden flurry of emotion slipped out from his concerned eyes, but he concealed it instantly. ”What else do you remember? Tell me, Cloris.”

But Emily just shook her head and replied sadly, ”Nothing else. I just remember a hazy figure...”

She lifted her hand and continued almost absently in a trembling voice, ”I remember it was this hand. This hand hurt you.” She stared at the offending limb as if it belonged to someone else. Confusion was painfully evident in her trembling lips.

”Cloris, it's okay. Don't worry!” he instantly assured her. Sean held Emily tightly to his chest and comforted her as gently as he could, ”Everything is going to be alright. I will do everything I can to cure you. A bad girl is living in your body, but don't be scared. I will chase her away.”

”Sean, I'm afraid! I'm afraid that one day I will no longer be here. That I will no longer be myself.” Emily leaned her head into Sean's chest, sobbing bitterly.

”You're just ill right now, but it's not that serious. Besides, I won't let you become someone else.” Sean held tightly to her as she continued to weep. ”It is not your fault, so don't blame yourself. All you have to do, is to take good care of yourself. That will be the best gift for me.” He forced a smile and gently stroked her cheek.

But however hard Sean tried to comfort her, Emily was still lost in a dismal well of deep pain. She could feel that sometimes her body slipped out of her control. It was as if someone else was living in her body and took control of it when she wasn't looking.

She could no longer even tell whether she was the owner of her body.

The more Emily considered it, the more she thought herself a monster. She was a monster who was apt to hurt other people.
