âDonâtâ¦â
Lucinda bit into his tender lips, but when she heard his groan, she couldnât bring herself to punish him harshly.
She gently pressed her lips against his, offering solace to his pain.
Their breaths were intertwined.
Their mouths locked together, tongues dancing with each other.
After a long, passionate ki*s, Lucinda regulated her breathing.
She held his face up again and looked at him with intense eyes.
âNathan, listen up! Iâm only saying this once.
Iâm not an easy woman.
If itâs just because of guilt, I have countless ways to make up for it.
I wonât sacrifice my entire lifetime happiness for that.
â
Moreover, itâs not pity that I feel for you.
I genuinely sympathize with your situation.
No matter how challenging the future may be, I want to be by your side at all times.
Iâll share your pain and walk alongside you.
Iâll find a means to cure you.
I wonât stand by and watch you die.
Iâm not as fragile as you think.
I wonât crumble easily.
Please trust me.
Our future will be much more than just five months.
Weâll have a long and beautiful journey ahead.
I will build a future with you.
â
Lucinda had never been more sincere than she was in that moment.
Nathan gazed into her eyes, taken aback by her words.
Those words, especially the part about building a future with him, stirred his imagination and ignited a longing within him.
He envisioned having her companionship, care, and love in the future.
Lucinda was like a potent remedy that could heal his wounds, depression, and pain.
Tears welled up gradually in his eyes.
They turned red, and his long, curly eyelashes became damp with tears.
âLucinda.
.
He felt incredibly fortunate to have her.
He wrapped his arms tightly around her waist, burying his head in the comfort of her chest, and soaking in the warmth of her body.
With one hand, Lucinda gently patted his back, while the other tenderly stroked his short hair.
The setting sun cast a warm, golden halo upon the two figures tightly embracing each other, as it streamed through the glass window.
Time stood still and everywhere was serene.
