Luna held her phone as she fell silent for a good while. It was not long until she exhaled deeply and
answered, “I would.”
She took another deep breath and said plainly, “Thomas, maybe you don‘t know me that well yet. In the
past, I hated Joshua so badly, but it was because of my son that I took it all in strides and went back to
Joshua.
“The misunderstanding got cleared in the end and we knew that we fell into a trap, but even if it wasn‘t
a misunderstanding and Joshua was really a scumbag, I would still tolerate everything for the sake of
my children.
“To me, being sad and uncomfortable because of someone important is just temporary, and it‘ll pass.
“Maybe you‘re right. Joshua and I were wrong on this matter; we shouldn‘t have used our thoughts to
decide what Yannie should do. Nonetheless, she cares about you. She hopes that you can settle your
matter peacefully and that incident will not affect you. She just can‘t get past the hurdle in her heart and
pretend that nothing happened.”
Thomas furrowed his brow vehemently. His fingers were turning white because of how hard he gripped
his phone. Yannie’s troubled expression appeared in his mind, and he recalled how Yannie blurted out
that she would leave him in the future.
Suddenly, his vision turned black. His legs turned soft as he felt himself falling.
At that moment, a pair of hands reached out and grabbed onto him steadily. He furrowed his brow
vehemently at the sudden support…and the familiar scent.
He looked back
Yannie was supporting him from behind with a helpless expression and furrowed eyebrows. “I thought
you could take care of yourself.”
To be frank, she did not go too far. After getting in the taxi, she was still worried about Thomas even
though she was upset. Thomas was a patient with a weak body, after all, and she could not allow
herself to leave him like that.
Thus, she requested the driver to stop her at a corner, and she secretly sneaked back to the hospital.
To her amazement, Thomas was still there. He stood in the same spot she left him and called Luna.
Therefore, she heard the entire conversation he had with Luna.
She was sad and also touched at the same time. Originally, she wanted to leave, but she saw him
nearly falling down. Her body acted faster than her brain. Before she knew it, she dashed out to
support Thomas from falling. Thomas was thrilled to see Yannie appearing out of nowhere. He did not
even think about explaining it to Luna and hung up the phone immediately.
“Yannie!” He was overwhelmed with warmth upon seeing Yannie return. He embraced her so tightly
that he was about to stick her body to his. “I knew you wouldn‘t leave me!”
As he held her tightly and dearly, he continued, “Did you come back because you decided not to leave
me? Please don‘t ever leave me, okay? Denise, she…
“It‘s my fault. I apologize. I‘ll do anything you want, but just…”
It took him a good few seconds before he responded, his voice humble and husky, “Just don‘t ever
leave me. Don‘t leave Riley. Riley and I…need you in our lives. Promise me, okay?”
Listening to Thomas‘ pleas, Yannie‘s heart melted. She bit her lip and slowly struggled her way out of
Thomas‘ arms. She stared right into his eyes.
