He also said many other threatening words.

She remained unconscious, not even her eyelids moved.
In her daze, she heard a voice faintly.
A voice she had longed to hear for a very long time, a voice that appeared many times in her hallucinations and dreams, yet always vanished without a trace when she awoke.
Upon hearing this voice again, Scarlett no longer felt the initial ecstatic joy.
She thought, this must be another of her hallucinations.
Once she opened her eyes, these illusions would disappear completely, plunging her into a deeper and more hopeless despair.
She was already tired.
Time and again igniting hope, only to face disappointment and despair over and over again, truly exhausting.
So she continued to sleep deeply.
He's not coming back, so why should she cling bitterly to an impossible dream?
