In a daze, Percy vaguely felt that someone was constantly speaking nonstop by his ear. After trying to distinguish the voice for a while, he couldn't figure out who it was, let alone hear what they were saying. So he tried moving his fingers to find out who it was, only to feel convulsive pain throughout his body, making him stay still instantly. Suddenly, his vision became much clearer, and all he could hear was Isabel's sobbing and her saying, "Don't leave me alone", "As you promised, we can hold hands and walk together, enjoying the views and singing along the way, loving each other wherever we go." A surge of indescribable joy rose in his heart. Did that mean Isabel had accepted him?
Such joy made him forget the pain all over his body and abruptly opened his eyes, wanting to ask her if her words were true. However, as soon as Isabel looked up at him, before he could say anything, she quickly stood up and ran off, disappearing from sight.
