"No!" Jensen immediately shouted, "Alice, I can't live without you. You can't do this."
"You have helped me to get out of the shadows of my past," Alice said lightly, but she still did not look at Jensen's face. Then she added, "Thank you for approaching me in this way, to deceive me in this way and to take responsibility in this way too. You are a good person, but I don't need you anymore."
"Alice!" Jensen felt that his heart was about to break.
He felt suffocated, his heart shattered to bits.
"We're together now. I am me, and you are you. We belong to each other only. Isn't that a good thing?"
He didn't understand why things would turn out like this after she knew everything.
"This is a very good thing." Alice was still very calm, void of any expression on her face. She said, "I am very glad that I only belong to you. You made me feel that I am not broken and that I wouldn't simply take anyone to be my boyfriend."
Jensen's heart clenched even more.
His heart ached so much.
Looking at the girl in front of him, he felt an unspeakable pain in his heart.
Alice then said, "I should actually thank you."
Jensen panicked. "Don't say that."
Alice turned around, about to leave.
Jensen grabbed her hand and held her wrist tightly.
Alice said softly, "Let go of me."
Jensen shook his head and said, "No!"
Alice's eyes hardened.
Jensen panicked.
He looked at her and he was very panicked inside. He was afraid that once he let go, he would be doomed so he couldn't let go.
Six years ago, he'd made a mistake. He did not find her right away. Six years later, if he let go of her again, then he would really lose her.
He was terrified.
He absolutely couldn't let go of her, as he couldn't cut off his feelings.
Alice said with a cold voice, "Let me go. If you don't, I will hate you."
At that moment, she did not hate him; her feelings were just a jumbled mess. She felt as if everything seemed to have come to an end and all she had to do was move forward, to leave this trauma behind.
However, if he didn't let her go, then she would really hate him.
Jensen was shocked by the indifference in her words.
"Alice, I can't let you go." Jensen then said with restraint, "Listen to me. You can blame me or even scold me but we are going to go on. I won't let go of you. I will protect you forever."
Alice answered coldly, "There's no need."
Jensen still refused to let go.
Alice trembled slightly, feeling a little suffocated. It was as if there was a big stone pressing down on her chest.
It was as if she had returned to the scene six years ago in a flash. She could no longer share this kind of feeling with others.
Jensen still refused to let go but Alice suddenly broke away from him. She quickly ran into the house and closed the door inside.
Jensen's hands were empty; his heart was equally hollow, if not more so.
He looked up in dismay and looked at the tightly shut door. His eyes were red.
Alice's back rested against the door. At that moment, her tears were surging down and her cheeks were damp.
Her heart was in great pain. It hurt.
As she trembled, Alice dragged her heavy body to the bed and threw herself onto it.
Her tears rolled down like pearls from a broken necklace. She held the pillow tightly and buried her face in it, choking while trembling.
Jensen was at a loss, not knowing what to do.
He rumpled his hair and his whole head was a mess. He felt very uneasy so he walked in circles in the room.
What happened inside could not be heard when the door was closed, which made him even more flustered.
He was afraid that Alice would take things too hard, so he could only run and pound on the door.
