| was lying in the hospital bed, nodding slowly. "Yes, Gregory."
Initially, as | was searching for Gregory, | had slowly cto terms with the possibility that he might have died,
this terrible piece of news.
But then, as | lay there on the hospital bed, clarity struck me. He couldn't be dead.
That day, our chance encounter on the street must have been a divine sign.
After that, my health improved rapidly, as if someone on their deathbed had suddenly found a reason to heal.
Now, Gregory was far from his usual carefree self, his expression grave. "You can't keep doing this, Jane," he said
sternly.
"Then take care of yourself," | shot back.
His stern look didn't scareone bit. "Gregory, if you dare get yourself hurt, | dare to die just to show you."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Yes, I'm threatening you. Are you scared?"
"Scared." He was at a loss with me, his eyes filled with fear and affection. "I'm not scared of anything, except for
something happening to you." "Then promise me, promiseyou'll take care of yourself."
I was scared too.
| feared that facing Palmer again would bring back the horrors of the past.

"Pinky promise."
Like a child, | extended my little finger. "You promise me, and | promise you. Gregory, for each other, let's both
stay alive."
"Deal." He curved his lips into a slight smile, hooking his finger with mine, giving it a gentle shake. "Jane, from
now on, no one can take my life, except for you."
"Yuck, why would | want your life!"
| immediately felt uneasy with such talk. "I just want you to be here, that's all."
Then, suddenly remembering seeing him in France, | knew it was most likely a case of mistaken identity, or just
my imagination, but I couldn't help asking.
"By the way, where were you last year today?"
"France," Gregory paused, then gently touched my scar. "Just, | didn't run into you. Imagine, if we had met that
day, would you have suffered less?" -Would you have not tried to hurt yourself.
I understood the subtext of his words.
My heart trembled slightly.
So, the person | saw that day, it was him.
| hadn't been mistaken. It wasn't just my imagination.
We didn't actually meet, but he savedonce again.
I smiled at him. "But | saw you that day, you were on the Champs-Elysées in the evening, right?"
“Right.”
Gregory's pupils contracted, his breathing suddenly erratic. "Your suicide attempt, was it because..."
"No."
| cut off his wild assumptions with a definitive answer, grabbing his hand. "Gregory, were you sent by God to
save me? It's since then that I've felt hopeful, and in a few months, | was able to stop the medication." Content

"As you command."
| chuckled, knowing he wouldn't let this go so easily.
He would feel guilty, remorseful.
There was no need to rush explanations, just being by his side was enough.
Still, | had a lingering worry. "Remember our promise?"
"Remember."
Gregory chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm not as foolish as you."
That finally put my mind at ease.
