Chương 191: ​Chapter 191 What if he should never wake up?

The West, The Palace

Late in the night Elijah looked quietly at the sleeping woman lying beside him, and thought to himself: it is so easy to control her.

If Haley's words had not spurred Elijah on that day, perhaps he would not have revealed his true colors to Emily so early. But Hayley was right, no matter how he disguised himself, Emily would one day discover his true colors.

He had planned to coax Emily slowly, so that she would fall in love with him naturally. But when he mentioned to Emily that they were getting married, she reacted in a way that disappointed him.

Even when Elijah weaves such a moving story for Emily, it fails to reach her heart.

When Elijah lies about breaking his hand to save Emily's life, Elijah sees compassion in Emily's eyes, but no love or affection.

Elijah thinks he can be patient enough to develop a slow, loving relationship with Emily. But the truth is, he simply could not.
