There, in a desolate alleyway, lay Evelyn, her body bruised and broken. The sight of her battered form sent shockwaves of anguish through Adrian's being. He rushed to her side, his hands trembling as he cradled her in his arms. "Evelyn," he whispered, his voice filled with pain. "I'm so sorry. I should have protected you." Evelyn's eyes fluttered open, her voice weak but filled with determination. "Adrian... it's not your fault. I... I couldn't bear the pain of our fight, so I ran... and this happened."Adrian's heart shattered as he listened to her words. He vowed to make amends, to heal the wounds he had caused, both physical and emotional. Tenderly, he carried Evelyn back to the safety of their castle, his love and regret guiding his every step. Within the castle walls, Evelyn's wounds were tended to by the kingdom's healers. Her body may have been broken, but her spirit remained unyielding. The immortality that coursed through her veins had granted her the strength to survive the unthinkable. As Evelyn began her long journey towards physical and emotional recovery, Adrian never left her side. He held her hand, whispered words of love and apology, and vowed to protect her with every fiber of his being.

"I will spend the rest of eternity making it up to you, my love. I will protect you, cherish you, and never let you feel pain again." Evelyn, her voice filled with forgiveness, replied, "We have both made mistakes, Adrian. But love can heal even the deepest wounds. Let us rebuild our trust and create a future filled with light and happiness."
