"Mabel, you are my dream..." he said. How much did he love her? As much as he felt that this was like a dream, a supremely sweet dream.
Meeting her, falling in love with her, everything seemed so natural.
If this truly was a dream, then he wished this dream would never end.
Owen Finley looked at Daniel Harris, who lay on the hospital bed asleep from the sedative, and couldn’t help sighing. He thought about earlier when he rushed to Morningstar, only to see Daniel sitting curled up in a chair.
When he approached, intending to persuade Daniel to return to the hospital, Daniel suddenly lifted his head. Owen could only see that familiar face covered in tears.
At that moment, he was shocked. This was the first time he had seen Daniel crying in so many years. He had never imagined that a man like Daniel Harris would cry like that.
He cried like a child, tears continuously rolling from his eyes. Uneasy and lost, he kept saying, "What do I do? What am I supposed to do... I don’t want it to end , I don’t want to become strangers with her, Owen, I don’t want to..."
This man, usually so decisive, was now so helpless.
And yet Owen didn’t know how to answer him, even feeling that any casual words might be enough to crush Daniel right now.
Perhaps, without them realizing, Mabel Quinn had already become more than just an old friend who shared hardships with Daniel.
To Daniel, there was another significance, though now it’s too late. Perhaps all this between Mabel and Daniel was just a missed opportunity, missing the timing, missing the possible fate. Daniel himself might have even pushed it away in this missed opportunity. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ nοvelfire.net
Sometimes fate is such a tangled mess, making people feel both ridiculous and sorrowful. Clearly, the person one is looking for is right in front, yet they meet but do not recognize each other.
The time Daniel spent with Mabel was so wonderful. He had heard Daniel recount some of those past memories. Even though back then Daniel was blind and living in poverty, maybe they were the most beautiful days for him. But that beauty has now become an irony.
Daniel cried for a long time, even to the point of hysteria. Owen could only give Daniel a sedative, otherwise, he might do something crazy. After all, when people are in despair, anything can happen.
At this moment, looking at the sleeping Daniel on the hospital bed, Owen’s heart was still filled with anxiety. He didn’t know what would happen when Daniel woke up, but now, even if Daniel wanted to win Mabel back, it probably wouldn’t be possible. Not just because the person Mabel loved was Kyle Kinston, but also because... Kyle probably wouldn’t let Mabel leave him either.
Owen found himself lost in thought...
Dorian Howards almost spat out his tea upon hearing Kyle’s words, "You proposed to Mabel Quinn?" Dorian instinctively felt his voice go off pitch.
Poor Howards Family’s eldest son, who had been busy these past few days and hadn’t met with Alice Conley, thus had no idea about the proposal.
"Is it worth you being so shocked?" Kyle Kinston said calmly.
