Chapter 262
Zayn’s name was always at the top of her address book.
Willow felt a throbbing pain as she looked at the name on the phone screen and decided to hang up. However, he had picked it up before she did so.
“Willow? What’s the matter?”
Willow felt even more saddened as she listened to Zayn’s voice. She was going to die soon.
Her place would most likely be in ruins when the firefighters arrived. Even if she didn’t burn alive, the dense smoke would suffocate her to death.
She wanted to call the police simply because she didn’t want to involve the nearby residents.
“Zayn, I’m about to die.”
Willow had loved and hated him. But as she approached death, her feelings seemed less significant.
She simply wanted to bid Zayn a proper goodbye.
She didn’t like holding grudges. Despite her hatred for him, she hoped he would be fine for the rest of his life after she died.
“Willow, what tricks are you trying to play? Skyler and I have gotten engaged today. Are you trying to ruin our engagement?
“I’ll marry Skyler and make her the happiest woman in the world! Don’t even consider ruining our engagement and wedding!”
“I never wanted to ruin it,” Willow stated bluntly.
She was initially alert but soon became unfocused from all the smoke that was choking her.
She murmured, “Zayn, I just want to say goodbye to you.”
She wished to end her lifelong love affair with a simple farewell. From then on, she would never be able to meet him again.
“Zayn, I’m going to die. Goodbye.”
Willow thought Zayn might speak gently to her after she said that, but it was merely her fond fantasy.
She only heard him respond coldly, “Go ahead and die, Willow. May you rest in peace!”
Tears completely blurred Willow’s vision. She thought that was enough. At the very least, she received Zayn’s “blessing” before her death.
Zayn expected her to quarrel with him after he spoke so harshly. But she remained silent, which made him inexplicably uneasy.
However, his uneasiness instantly turned to indifference because he believed she was the best at

manipulation.
“Still not hanging up?” Zayn sneered.
“Did you expect me to pray for your soul?”
“No, Mr. Carter. Thank you for your kindness.”
Willow then hung up the call with all of her strength.
The last words Zayn said to her were harsh, but she was already satisfied.
Willow worried she wouldn’t last much longer and wanted to say goodbye to Kenan. But she couldn’t reach him after calling him several times.
She wanted to text him and inform him that Skyler was an imposter. But before she could grasp her phone again, a piece of the wooden ornament fell from the ceiling, taking flames with it as it fell. It severely damaged the phone in front of her.
Her right hand would have been destroyed if she hadn’t retracted it in time.
The flames on the balcony were approaching. Willow soon experienced violent dizziness. Before she lost consciousness, she laughed at herself. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
It turned out that her life ended with being buried in the fire.
