"Kyle, are you... angry?" Mabel hesitated and asked.
"Do you think I’m angry?" He smiled slightly, a gentle smile, as if it were the same as usual, yet she clearly noticed that this smile did not reach his eyes.
Even though his tone of voice and some actions were no different from usual, she could sense that he was angry.
"Is it because when you called me, Daniel said those things beside me?" She said, those words seemed somewhat ambiguous, and at that time, she was eager to know if Daniel was really Isaac, so she didn’t explain it over the phone.
"Then tell me, is Daniel special to you?" he asked softly, his voice so gentle, yet the depth in his eyes grew more intense.
Mabel took a deep breath, "Didn’t I tell you before that I once knew a blind boy? We went through hardships together, struggled on the edge of life and death, at that time my biggest wish was for him to see. I went to the Hospital today to visit Daniel, and also confirmed that he is that boy."
Kyle’s pupils suddenly constricted, "You are sure that person is Daniel?"
Mabel nodded with a hint of emotion, "The world is very small, isn’t it? I once thought Daniel’s eyes just resembled that boy’s, but I didn’t expect they were the same person. When I went to the Hospital today, I asked him if he was Isaac from Drumbeat Village, his reaction said it all, he..."
Before she finished speaking, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. She... eventually still found out that Daniel was Isaac from Drumbeat Village, sooner than he expected.
"Even if they are the same person, you can’t love him. You are mine, only mine!" he shouted lowly, with a sense of urgency he couldn’t even control.
Mabel chuckled, "What are you talking about? How could I love Daniel? The person I love is you. To me, the boy from Drumbeat Village was a childhood playmate, a friend with whom I shared life and death. Knowing he is Daniel, living well now, and his sight has returned, fulfills a wish of mine."
But her words didn’t bring him much reassurance, he held her even tighter, as if to confirm that she was his.
She was held so tightly by him that she almost couldn’t breathe, "Kyle, listen to me, I really have no other intentions towards Daniel."
"But to you, he is always special, right?" he said.
She was momentarily speechless, Isaac from Drumbeat Village was indeed special to her, but... Mabel placed her hands around Kyle’s waist, embracing him as well, "Isaac was a friend from the past, and to be honest, knowing his eyes have regained sight is enough for me. Besides that, I have no other thoughts. But for you, I have many, many other thoughts. The person I love has always been only you, Kyle Kinston."
His body suddenly trembled, he lowered his head and gazed at her, "Really only me?"
She looked up into his eyes. Once, she had watched his videos online, surrounded by so many people, in such glory, so vibrant.
