บท 126: Doing this Alone

Agatha turned to Elijah beside her and smiled sadly at him. "I want to be alone."

"But..." Agatha held her fingers to his mouth and shook her head.

"I'll be fine, Elijah. I promise."

Elijah was not convinced about leaving her all alone, but he knew Agatha could be stubborn if she so wishes it. He sighed in defeat.

"Promise me one thing, then."

Her smile widened as she nodded her head, "Promise me that you won't stay alone for too long."

"Elijah..."

"Promise me. You really don't need to be alone, because your mind will keep being filled with various thoughts and it might not do you any good.

"But I'll only leave you be if you promise me that. And also, you must not leave this room. If you want to, you must call for me to accompany you."

Agatha stared at the man before her who was trying to stand his ground for her sake and she smiled fully, nodding her head in agreement.
