Sylvia's POV:
As soon as I entered the dormitory, I ran to the window and discreetly take a look at Rufus. He was standing just outside the entrance, smoking a cigarette all by himself.
There was a full moon hanging in the sky tonight. It cast a long shadow behind Rufus as he was bathed in the pale radiance of the moon.
I bit my lips tightly and quickly stepped back, feeling distressed.
"Why are you feeling sorry for him now after you just hurt his feelings on purpose?" Yana didn't hide her dissatisfaction as her voice deepened.
"I really don't know what to do..." I squatted down in exasperation and tears streamed down my face. My heart ached so much that I couldn't breathe through the pain.
I didn't want to hurt Rufus' feelings, but my continuous presence in his life would only make the thorn on his back grow bigger until it killed him. I couldn't just sit back and watch while the most important person in my life suffered.
"Sylvia..." Yana's tears dribbled down her face as her sniffs turned to heartfelt sobs.
"If there was a way, my mother wouldn't have chosen to leave my father. I would rather die than live knowing that Rufus would one day die because of loving me. If I could be sure that my death would lift the curse, I wouldn't have hesitated..." I wiped the tears from my eyes.
"Please don't say that, Sylvia. We will find a way. But if you want to die, I'm willing to die with you."
I was moved to tears again by Yana's unwavering loyalty and love for me. Come rain or shine, she always supported me and stood by my side whenever I needed her.
In spite of her fear of pain, she was willing to give her life for me.
