"I'm not dead..." Aaron Lawson struggled to raise his voice.
Sparkle Gold pretended not to hear, continuing to cry loudly, "Today, you proposed to me, and I'm really happy. But every time I think about how you've falsely accused me, hurt me, and even tacitly approved of your brother taking advantage of me, I just feel hatred and can't forgive you. But even when you were at your worst, I never wanted you dead..."
"I'm really not dead, cough, cough..." To get her attention, Aaron Lawson had to shout with all his strength.
He exerted himself too much, not only pulling on his wound but also choking on his own saliva, coughing until he was nearly out of breath.
"Aaron, you're not dead, that's great!" Sparkle Gold pretended to be surprised and hugged him tightly, squeezing his neck hard.
Aaron Lawson was almost suffocated by her grip, waving his hands continuously until he finally fainted from her strange strength.
