After a long time, Michael finally found his voice, “Emma, you have been with me for five years. You have taken care of me, cared about me and accompanied me…”
“It’s all for this heart.”
I looked down at him without hiding anything.
He should know the truth. He should know that he was not outstanding enough to trample on my dignity. He should know that someone was kind to keep him alive.
I bent over and got closer to Michael.
Looking at his tears, I smiled more deeply.
“You are just a container for his heart, Michael.”
When I turned around, Michael grabbed my hand again.
“You said those drunken words on the wedding day because you recognized me as him? He gave you paulownia, didn’t he?”
I nodded
my head.
“If it weren’t for this heart, I wouldn’t even take one more look at a despicable person like
you.”
All of a sudden, Michael loosened his grip on me and fell heavily to the ground.
He was so surprised and he didn’t believe it. He tried to convince himself, but he couldn’t.
Just then, Wesley came out of the room.
He looked at me and Michael, feeling a little embarrassed.
“Do I interrupt you?”
Since the moment Wesley appeared, Michael stared at him. He was so sad now.
“Who is he?”
I took Wesley’s hand and saw the expression on Michael‘s face. He was so shocked when he saw me hold Wesley’s arm.
Looking at Wesley’s face, Michael felt a little familiar.
He thought for a while and suddenly burst into laughter as if he remembered something.
Michael pointed at Wesley and smiled with tears in his eyes.
“Do you think that Emma likes you? It’s just because of your face. Your face is the same as
the face of the person who died on the tombstone. Do you think there is any difference between you and me? You are just a substitute of the person who died!”
Wesley listened to him quietly without saying anything.
Michael seemed to be crazy. He stepped forward, but was stopped by Wesley,
He looked at me attentively from a short distance.
“Emma, it’s been five years.
There are a total of one thousand eight hundred and twenty–six days and forty–eight thousand three hundred and twenty–four hours. Haven’t you ever loved me for a moment?
Michael felt so painful now. He was so proud and conceited. How could he accept being treated as a substitute?
However, even if she had a crush on him, it was dissipated by him.
“Michael, if I had had the chance to make the choice, I would have never put Gilbert’s heart into your body. I would have never done that. You don’t deserve to have such a heart.”
Being out of his mind, Michael took a step back. He felt that all his strength seemed to have been drained. He stood there with all his strength.
He looked at me in astonishment, and I was so familiar with the emotions in his eyes.
When he hurt me again and again, I also looked at him like this.
But now, it was him who had such feelings.
“Ha–ha.”
Michael lowered his head and smiled pathetically.
“Emma, I’m not as cruel as you.”
Recalling what had happened before, he found that he was the person who fooled himself.
