[ch109]‼️James was d ead, and Paula had been badly injured. Even so, she felt relieved knowing Vincent was safe. Not long after, she lost consciousness. Vincent and Ethan panicked, desperately calling out her name as rain poured down in the middle of the forest… Once again, Paula met Lucas in a dream. Lucas called out to her….”Paula… The weather is really nice today, isn’t it?” Paula: “This place… Could it be that I’m dead?” Lucas stayed silent…. Paula: “…I thought so. I struggled so hard to stay alive somehow, but…” Lucas: “Paula. First… shall we take a walk?” He took her hand, and the two of them walked through a field of white flowers while talking. Paula: “…Lucas. I wasn’t too late this time, was I? Did I properly fulfill your wish?” Lucas: “Of course, Paula. Thank you so much for saving my brother.” Paula: “I wanted you to stay alive too, Lucas. I wished you could live happily together with them…” Lucas: “You know, Paula… When I was young, I thought I would live a life filled with happiness, bright and dazzling like sunlight. But the world I saw when I grew up was never that beautiful. The painful truths and sorrow were hard to bear… and I found it difficult to face the part of myself that wanted to run away from reality. It felt like I was all alone in the world. So I kept writing letters, even when no reply ever came. It was my selfish wish that my brother would tell me he was okay. And then… I received a reply from you, Paula. Your letters… were the hope and comfort of my world. That’s how I came to… love you. And more than my own happiness… I want the people I love to be happy.” Paula: “But I keep… thinking about you. About you, Lucas… who left this world in so much pain.” Lucas: “Kind Paula……But from now on, rather than thinking about me, who’s already gone, I hope you’ll think more about the people who are still here… Vincent, Ethan, Violet, and all the precious people you love. I love them dearly too. So that they’ll never feel lonely or sad again… will you keep helping them for me? And of course… that includes you too, Paula… the person I love most. Well… it’s time for us to say goodbye now…. This is enough for me. So… goodbye, Paula… I’ll cherish this moment forever.” Paula: “Neither will I. I’ll never forget it either…” At the end of the chapter, Paula woke up in tears and called out Lucas’s name. Ethan was sitting beside her bed…… 📚📖Naverwebtoon ——— #thecountssecretmaidmanhwa #manhwalovers #manhwafyp #fyppppppppppppppppppppppp
