"Here is the food that I sneaked from the base. By the way, where is Ember? I haven't seen her since coming here." There was a slight bashfulness in his voice that made Ivy's heart tremble with guilt and fear.
"She... she..." Helena couldn't bring herself to speak those words that were stuck in her throat.
"She died." Ivy's heart was ripping apart as if an invisible hand was tearing it away. Yet she continued, looking in the direction where Jay's voice had come.
"Ivy, don't joke like that; you know I can't live without my Ember... I am planning to propose to her. Or wait... is it that she knew about my proposal plan, and she wants to know all the details?" Toward the end, his voice sounded cheerful, but the nervousness in it made everyone aware of the dread rising in his heart.
Indeed... Jay was going to propose to Ember... He had also managed to make a fake ID for her so that she could settle in a good base and they could live a peaceful life.
