Anaya opened her eyes and saw the snow-white ceiling.
“Anaya!” Alan was ecstatic. “You finally woke up!”
Anaya slowly turned her head and saw Alan’s bearded face.
She closed her eyes again, thinking that she was still in a dream. Alan asked with concern, “Do you feel any pain? I’ll call the doctor right away…” This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
The doctor rushed over and checked on Anaya. He let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s good as long as she wakes up. At present, the situation is not bad. She can be transferred to an ordinary ward. However, she can’t eat yet. She can only have IV. She can’t digest food now.”
Alan nodded and kept it in mind. The doctor reminded him again, “You’d better let the patient rest more.”
“I know. Thank you, doctor.” After sending the doctor away, Alan turned back to the bedside and held Anaya’s hand. He couldn’t help kissing her on the back of her hand and whispered, “Anaya… you’re awake. I’m really happy.”
Anaya just looked at him in silence.
Alan looked at her dry lips and said, “You can’t drink water yet. I’ll use a cotton stick to moisten your lips.”
He carefully wet the cotton swab, carefully moistened her lips, and then smeared the lipstick on her lips. Anaya suddenly said, “I thought I wouldn’t wake up.”
Alan paused and said, “You haven’t married me yet. How can you not wake up?”
Anaya looked up at the ceiling and said with difficulty, “Alan… I used to be with you because I didn’t know
your identity. I didn’t know that there are some things in the world that can’t be solved by falling in love with each other.”
“Six years have passed. I still love you.”
Alan pursed his lips.
Anaya laughed and continued, “But I don’t have the courage to love you anymore.”
“Anaya.” A teardrop fell on Anaya’s cheek, and Alan wiped it away in a panic. He had a thousand words to say, but those words were stuck in his throat. In the end, he only said one sentence, “I’m sorry… but I love you.”
Anaya forced a smile and her eyes curved. “I’ve never suspected that you loved me.”
“Even if I heard that you were going to marry Ariel, I knew that you loved me.”
“But Alan.” Anaya said, “Love is so heavy but so insignificant. I’m not the only one in your world. You have your parents, your brother, and the whole Shamus Family. I can’t be so selfish.”
If she were still the innocent and reckless girl six years ago, she might have been together with Alan regardless of anything and would not have turned back. But now, they were already adults. In the world of adults, love was no longer the most important thing.
“I’m 26 years old this year.” Alan looked into Anaya’s eyes and said, “In the past 26 years, I’ve only done two things against my family.”
“The first one was to give up on finance and choose chemistry. The second one was to like you.”
“After so many years, I have long given up my chemistry dream, Anaya…”
He said in a hoarse voice, “I don’t want to give you up.”
A tear fell from the corner of Anaya’s eyes, and she choked with sobs, unable to speak.
“I want to be with you in exchange for my dream.” Alan’s voice trembled. “Six years ago, we should be together. I won’t retreat. Anaya, don’t give up, okay?”
“Just like that year, how you bravely loved me.”
