Her tears fell onto his hand, so hot and scalding. His body jolted suddenly, fingers slowly unclenching from her grip.
Was she... crying? Were these tears shed for him?
He could only be her brother Ming, but not the most important person to her. Because her most important person... was it Kyle Kinston? When he was drowned in Grace Yowell’s deception, when he foolishly stood up for that so-called most important person, he was actually pushing the real one further and further away.
But back then, it was Kyle Kinston who had stayed by her side.
He had missed out on so much, and now, he didn’t even have the chance to make amends. Was this darkness before him a sign that his whole future would plunge into darkness?
His hand slowly lifted, as if wanting to touch her face, to touch her tears, but in the end, it stopped just short of touching her.
He let out a bitter smile, so full of bitterness that even his voice sounded desolate, "Thankful, huh... I should be content, should be content. You did nothing wrong to me, it’s all my fault, entirely my own fault. I can’t blame anyone else!"
But seeing Daniel Harris made Mabel Quinn’s heart ache even more.
After a moment, Daniel Harris collected himself and said to Mabel Quinn, "Thank you for visiting me today. I’m a bit tired. You should go now."
"Alright, I’ll come back to see you another day." Mabel Quinn sniffed, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. Fınd the newest release on novelFɪre.net
Before leaving, she bowed deeply to him, knowing full well he couldn’t see anything, but she did it anyway.
Just as she turned to leave, his voice abruptly filled the ward, "Mabel, maybe you shouldn’t come to see me again. Perhaps every visit only makes me realize even more what I’ve lost. So, just let it be. From the beginning to the end, I’ve never regretted saving you that day, trading my eyes for your safety. It was such a worthwhile bargain."
At that moment, Mabel Quinn’s tears, which she had managed to stop, began rolling down again.
After Mabel Quinn walked out of the hospital room, Kyle Kinston approached her, noting her red-rimmed eyes and the tears still wet on her face. He took out a handkerchief, gently wiping her tears as he said, "Don’t cry."
Yet his voice only made her want to cry more.
Mabel Quinn suddenly embraced Kyle Kinston tightly, burying her head into his chest, crying bitterly. Kyle Kinston gently held Mabel Quinn, softly patting her back, continuously comforting her.
After a long while, Mabel Quinn finally stopped crying. When Kyle Kinston took Mabel Quinn to register for a check-up, she kept her head down, speaking very little. Even after the check-up was done, and they returned to the car, Mabel Quinn’s eyes remained red so.
"If you’re still feeling uneasy, you can visit Daniel Harris again tomorrow," Kyle Kinston suggested.
Mabel Quinn’s lashes trembled slightly, "Me visiting doesn’t necessarily help his condition, but I can’t give him anything."
Sensing something, Kyle Kinston wrapped an arm around Mabel Quinn’s shoulders, "This life-saving grace, there will be a way to repay it in the future. Even if you can’t repay it, I will do it for you."
She leaned against his chest, softly murmuring an acknowledgment. With Kyle by her side, the only thing she could say to Daniel Harris was that she was sorry.
