Finley elaborated. "It's good that she left. At least now my mind can be at peace."

Daphne looked at the stubborn man and shook her head. "Mr. Dean, I'm sure you care about Mrs. Dean. Why must you deny it? Why have you refused to see her over the past two weeks?"

#hy not? He extended his blood-stained hand toward her.

"Ms. Stuart, my days are numbered. The longer I'm around her, the more reluctant I am to die. Meanwhile, Samantha feels guilty every time she sees me. I want to spare us from tormenting each other with our existence."

She glanced at his blood-stained lips, and her face filled with worry. "What makes

"What makes you think she feels guilty toward you?"

Finley replied with a wry smile, "She's here to repay a debt. She doesn't love me at all. She's only kind to me because saved her from a fire three years ago."

His words shocked her, and she blurted out. "So, she was the reason for your disfiguration. three years ago."

"Yes.

"Nevertheless, why do you think Mrs. Dean doesn't love you and only be nice to you out of guilt? If it's only out of guilt and she has no feelings for you at all, she would never have been so attentive to you in the past two weeks, let alone tested the antidote on herself to cure Her statement made his brows furrow. He felt like he was hearing things. His tone was uncertain when he pressed her for an explanation. "What do you mean, Ms. Stuart? What do you mean by Samantha risking her health to develop the antidote to cure me?" She had never intended to hide anything from him. Since he had asked, she recounted the conversation between Samantha and Elias sometime ago to him.

His eyes widened in disbelief at the revelation.

"So, her recent illness had nothing to do with a bad diet as Elias claimed?"

She nodded. "Yes. That wasn't the case. She was feeling unwell because she poisoned herself to test the antidote for you. Before leaving three days ago, she told me she was leaving to experiment with the antidote. She'll be back in two days if the antidote is a success. If another two days. In any case, her feelings for you are stronger than what you have imagined. If you don't believe me, you should see whether Mrs. Dean does it out of guilt or love with your own eyes."

Finley instinctively clenched his fist. He never expected Samantha to go to such lengths for him. He asked. "What's your plan?"

"If a woman truly loves a man, she'll be devastated when she learns the man she loves has passed away. I believe Mrs. Dean is likely to commit suicide if she has strong feelings for you."

He didn't believe Samantha would love him deeply. "I don't think she would die for me."

"Well..." Daphne smiled.
