Chapter 220 âthought dying for love was only an ancient legend, but I didnât expect someone to actually do it, Ethanâs words trickled into Eleanorâs ears, striking her heart, leaving her in disbelief.
She struggled to sit up from the bed, exhausting all her strength, but was unable to move Tears welled up in her eyes as she fixed her gaze on Ethan, her mouth opening to finally utter fragmented words, â1. dreamt, he... didnât.. die......â
She indeed dreamt of Garett kneeling in front of a grave and shooting himself, but someone had saved him.
She couldnât believe that Garett was dead. He had promised her to take care of Halley, how could he just follow her in death Ethan put away his phone, looking at her with a hint of sympathy. âThis news was broadcast on television two years ago, while you were unconscious. Your body reacted strongly at the time, but you didnât wake up. I guess you must have heard the news of his death, couldnât accept it, and thus fabricated a beautiful dream in your subconscious mindâ
Eleanor didnât believe she had created a dream. How could such a vivid dream be fabricated?!
A million denials crossed her mind, yet tears uncontrollably streamed down her cheeks.
Garett had once said, if she died, he would commit suicide at her grave, and not live alone.
She remembered that before she died, he told her he would give her an explanation. Was this his explanation?
Was Garett really dead? What about Hailey? She was her only family left in this world.
And what about her? She was saved, but he died. What should she do?
Eleanor wept until she broke down. Her immobilized body, due to intense shock, showed some reactions She moved her fingers, extending them towards Ethan. Phone.â
She wanted to call Garett to tell him that she wasnât dead Seeing her tear-streaked face, Ethan slightly frowned, âYou canât accept it?â
Eleanor had no strength left to speak, she just shed tears, pleading Ethan to show some mercy and make a call for her Something seemed to touch Ethan, he relaxed his brow, took out his phone, and asked her, âNumber?â
Eleanor opened her mouth, laboriously and recited the number she knew by heart to him Ethan, surprisingly patient, quietly waited for her to finish before dialing.
Soon, an automated female voice sounded on the other end, âSorry, the number you dialed is switched offâ
Ethan put down the phone and raised an eyebrow at Eleanor, âItâs turned off.â
Being switched off didnât prove that Garett was dead. She wanted to call Hailey. âAnother numberâ
Just as Ethan was about to put his phone back in his pocket, hearing that she had another number, he showed a hint of impatience, âIâm not your se rvant.â Eleanor didnât respond, she just stared at him with teary eyes until he took out his phone again, then she withdrew her gaze.
She slowly gave Haileyâs number to Ethan, who quickly dialed it after entering it.
âSorry, the number you dialed is switched off.â
Hearing the automated voice again, Eleanor suddenly felt a sense of despair and her tears flowed uncontrollably She wished she could get up and run back to find them immediately, but she was unable to move in her current state.

Seeing the despair in her eyes, Ethan couldnât help but offer a comforting lie, âYouâve been unconscious for two years, maybe they changed their numbers.â
His words sparked a glimmer of hope in Eleanor. Yes, she had been unconscious for so long, things must have changed, changing numbers was normal.
With this thought in mind, she mustered the strength to ask Ethan again, âHow much longer until recover?â
Ethan, fiddling with his phone, replied nonchalantly, Tm not a doctor, how would I know?â
