Chapter 183
In the past few days, Scarlett had been sleeping for much longer than she had been awake.
Even upon waking, she could only utter a few words before slipping back into a deep sleep.
Dev sat motionless in front of the hospital bed, his pale face covered in stubble and exhaustion evident
in his expression.
Susan advised him to take a rest, but he was unwilling. Susan could not change his mind, so she left
him alone.
Susan thought that when Scarlett woke up, she would likely want some liquid food, even if she couldn’t
eat it. So, Susan prepared it for her.
She told Dey that she was going to get some porridge, then she left the ward and went downstairs.
Not long after she left, Scarlett woke up. Her limbs were swollen, making her unable to move.
She could guess that her face was also swollen, likely making her look ugly.
She felt that Dey was holding her hands very hard, which made her heart peaceful for a moment.
She swallowed her saliva and said in a hoarse voice. Liam… is the sun our?”
Dev nodded, but thought that she couldn’t perceive las gesture and quickly responded to her in a low
voice, “It’s out…”
His red eyes peered out of the window, for the snow was falling heavily and not a single ray of sun was
visible.
But in the past few days, when Scarlett woke up, the first thing she asked him was whether the sun
was out.
Presumably, she wanted to see the sun, but it was not possible. She could only ask if the sun was
shining
Scarlett, upon hearing that the sun was out, slowly turned her head. Through the glass window, her
unfocused eyes seemed to catch a glimpse of a ray of sunlight, warming her heart.
“Liam, was it the same weather on the day you found me?”
“Yes, the azure sky and puffy clouds, luminous and radiant. I spied you reclining in the meadow with a
gaze.”
At five years old, Liam was flying a kite outside the orphanage when he spotted her. Without hesitation,
he brought her
back.
It was also from the moment he took her back that he was determined to devote his entire life to her…
Upon hearing Dev’s description, Scarlett couldn’t help but curl her lips into a faint smile.
In her dream, she saw a woman standing in the sun’s rays, extending her arm towards her as if to say,
“Scarlett, Mom’s here to take you home.”
She thought it might be her mother, just as when she was born, her mom had likely placed her under
the sunlight and left, reluctantly and helplessly. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Perhaps it wasn’t her mother; she just wanted one so badly that she dreamt of one coming to pick her
up.
She had never experienced the love of a mother or father in her life.
Arriving and departing with nothing, she felt a tinge of regret.
Dev felt a thorn pierce his heart upon seeing her bitter smile, causing his entire body to ache.
He was in so much pain that he couldn’t help but embrace her tightly, not wanting to ever let go.
Scarlett weakly patted his back, “Liam, don’t be sad. See you in the next life…”
Dev buried his head into her neck like a child, his cold tears silently hitting her skin.
Scarlett’s heart quivered as she was touched by his tenacity, and her eyes filled with tears.
Snuggling up tightly to one another, as if they were the only two people left in the world, they felt as
pure as when they were young
In the end, he was still concerned that her physical strength would be depleted, so he tenderly laid her
down.
Scarlett leaned to the side and looked out of the window. She unconsciously thought of that handsome
face.
Dev, far away in the capital, rushed all the way here to see her, while that man never came here once,
though he was in A TownL
Only now did she understand that a man who did not love a woman could be cold and heartless, his
indifference was all the more pronounced.
Smiling once more, she asked herself, “Why would I be disappointed if I pushed him away back then,
not wanting him to see me dying?”
