The two of them sat down. While they had dinner, Kyla could not help but ask, âUmm⦠Is my novel with you?â
âNovel? You mean âLoving You For The Rest Of My Lifeâ?â Asked Martin Weiss.
âYeah,â she replied. âHas he even memorized the title?â
He said, âI have it. But Iâm a little surprised that youâre fond of such books even now. I recall you enjoying reading such books when we were dating.â
Kyla was speechless. Likewise, she did not expect him to take her book. âItâs only to pass the time.
After all, I have to stay away from some electronics now that Iâm pregnant.â
âDo you enjoy the novel?â he asked suddenly.
âItâs alright,â she said. Of course, a novel that was a bestseller and published in hard copies was good.
Martin Weiss seemingly spoke nonchalantly, âBut donât you think the two people in the book are wasting their time with each other? She spent 20 years with a man in a coma, wasting 20 years of her youth. Even though he woke up in the end, they were both already old. It wouldâve been more practical for her to find a new relationship rather than waste her time on someone in a vegetative state, no?â
Kyla looked at the man in front of her. âFeelings are never commodities. It doesnât matter whether itâs practical. She willingly stayed by his side because she loves him.â
âIs that so? Willingly? I think the woman just felt guilty! She made him fall into a vegetative state, so she was haunted by the guilt,â he said.
âItâs not guilt. If itâs just guilt, how could she gently wipe his body, apply the medicine for him, and do the dirtiest and most tiring work by herself every day for 20 years? If itâs just guilt, wouldnât it be more convenient for her to just find a nurse?â she said.
Martin Weiss said, âThe author probably has the same mindset as you, so they made it out to be love.
Isnât it silly to bet the rest of your life on whether a person will wake up or not?â
âDo you really think itâs silly?â Kyla asked as she stared at him.
âDidnât this man say he would spend the rest of his life betting on a chance-a chance for me to forgive him? Even though I repeatedly told him that I wouldnât fall for him again, he insisted on taking a chance.â
At first, she thought he was only being regretful and feeling guilty.
However, she later learned that he loved her and was willing to love her with his life!
However⦠he could no longer love her like that.
âIsnât it silly?â he retorted with a look of amusement.
Her eyes darkened. âPerhaps⦠it is.â
âI brought the book back. Iâll return it to you later, but you should read fewer such books while youâre pregnant. Iâll buy you some books suitable for antenatal training.â
Martin Weiss said as he lowered his head and continued eating.
Kyla looked at Martin Weiss. After a long while, she said, âDo you no longer believe in love?â
She just blurted out the words. She had no idea why she asked that either.
âThatâs not a question you should ask.â He looked up at her coldly.
Her heart instantly trembled.
She knew that she had ruined some things.
Grace called to inform Kyla that Jacqueline Bowmanâs trial was set to be held three days later.
