"Why do you have a needle hole on your neck?"
Sally asked anxiously. Her hands were trembling.
William paused for a moment, but he remained silent.
"Can you talk to me? William, can we go back to before? Now you do not even want to talk to me, do
you?"
Sally raised her voice. If Nicole were here, she would probably be shocked. After all, Sally was a very
elegant woman in everyone's impression. Even when she was hunted down, she did not frown for a
moment. But when she was facing William, she was like a furious dinosaur that was about to go mad at
any moment.
William knew Sally too well. Sally used to be as gentle as a pool of peaceful water. No matter how
urgent the matter was, she would resolve it calmly. However, Sally's behavior now reflected his
mistake.
He was the one who pushed Sally to this state. But how could he explain this to Sally?
Should he tell Sally that it was the king's people who injected poison into his body? Should he tell her
that there are many poisons in her body and they were torturing him, and he will die at any moment?
Or should he tell her how suffering his life was in these years?
All of these would only make Sally feel more guilty and depressed. She would cry her eyes out. If that
was the outcome, he did not want to say anything. The last thing he wanted to see was Sally in
sadness.
Sally suddenly threw the thruster in her hand when she saw William remained silent. She squatted in
front of William and forced him to look into her eyes while holding his head tightly.
"William, do you want to hide and never talk to me for the rest of your life? Are you blaming me? Are
you blaming me for not saving my virginity for you and compromising my life?"
"No."
William did not want to talk, but he could not help when he saw the tears on Sally's beautiful face.
"What do you mean by saying no? If not, why are you doing this to me? You have been ignoring me!
Do you think that I am embarrassing you just by standing in front of you? Am I bothering you? If you
say yes, I will disappear immediately and never appear again for the rest of my life!"
Sally was going to collapse.
William was the only person she had ever loved in her life, and she still loved him. How could he not
know?
William saw the determination in Sally's eyes. He sighed softly and whispered, "You know that was not
what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Sally was no longer a mature woman anymore at this moment. Instead, she was like an unreasonable
little girl. However, William never found it bothering. His gaze carried a trace of doting.
He touched Sally's long hair and said in a low voice, "I just do not know what to say."
"I want to know everything. I have been looking for you for many years. I want to know what you have
been through. What did the king do to you? What did you do to survive all these years?"
"Why are you forcing me? What can you do even if I tell you? Time cannot be reversed, and we cannot
go against the king either. Everything that should happen had happened. Knowing it will only make us
sad. It is like making me experience all the difficulties again. Is that what you want?"
William said slowly, but it made Sally speechless.
She did not expect that it would make William felt the pain and sadness again. She did not want to do it
either. But if he did not tell her, how would she know?
King had never been a kind person. She could imagine how cruel the king was to William. That was
why she wanted to confirm it from William. But now that Sally heard William's words, she was silent.
They would never be able to return to the past, and they could no longer say anything they wanted to
each other. Their relationship already had a scar. Tearing it apart would only make them suffer from
pain and depression.
Sally bit her lip. Many thoughts flashed in her head. In the end, William defeated her again.
She slowly got up, picked up the throttle to continue to do William's haircut quietly.
William did not resist and was cooperative. He did not seem to care about how Sally cut his hair. This
was the first time in many years that William felt so calm and peaceful.
Finally, they were able to stand together quietly just like when they first fell in love. Even if they did not
say anything, their hearts were together.
Sally did William a short hair. William, who was in front of her, looked like his old image. Sally's tears
were about to come out again.
His face was extremely pale.
"You can sleep here tonight."
Sally knew that it was no appropriate, but so what?
She had waited and searched for this man all her life, and now he was here. She even had the chance
to know that he had lived a miserable life these years. How could she let him go?
William wanted to leave. He knew that Sally's current identity did not allow them to be together. But
seeing Sally's expectant gaze, he did not refuse her offer.
William lay on Sally's bed.
Sally's smell was on the bed. It brought back William's memory.
He still remembered the first time they had intimate contact. They were so curious, excited, and filled
with passion. But now...
A trace of pain flashed through William's eyes.
He had lost his ability as a man.
Thinking of what the king had done to him, a trace of anger and ruthlessness flashed through William's
eyes. But it disappeared shortly.
He turned his back at Sally.
What should he tell Sally?
Should he let her know that he had lost the ability to make her happy physically?
At Sally's current age, she would not be able to tolerate the loneliness.
They had loved each other deeply. Now that so many years had passed, what could he do to save this
relationship?
William had never felt so helpless. He wanted to leave this place immediately, but he was not able to
leave. He could not leave either. He could only lie on the bed like a dead body.
Sally looked at the man in front of her. She missed him so much. She climbed onto the bed and hugged
William from behind.
A warm temperature and a familiar odor filled William's nose. His heart was filled with sorrow as he
whispered, "Please, Sally, do not."
"No, I want you, I want to give myself to you. William, we are meant to be together. I know you think
that I am shameless, but I do not care. I want you. After so many years, I can only feel happy as a
woman when I am with you. Do you understand?"
Sally hugged William tightly.
William felt as if there was a sharp knife stabbing him. He was suffocating because of the pain.
How could he not know that feeling?
Sally was his only woman, and he would never forget the sweet feeling when they were together.
Unfortunately...
William closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I am tired, and I want to sleep. If you do this again,
I will go to another room."
These words were ruthless, but William was the only one who understood the helplessness and
heartache behind the words.
Sally's body stiffened, and tears fell from her eyes again.
In the end, he still disdained her.
Sally held back her tears and whispered, "I will not do anything. Just let me hug you like this, okay? For
so many years, I had been thinking about hugging you like this. Otherwise, I was not able to sleep. Just
do me a favor, okay? Can you fulfill my wish? Let me hug you gently like this."
What could William say when Sally was begging him?
He sighed and closed his eyes.
Sally turned off the light. The room was so dark and quiet that they could only hear each other's
breathing and heartbeat. However, these sounds interweaved together, making them feel extremely
safe.
William thought that he would have a hard time falling asleep when he was not in his own place, but he
fell asleep fast with Sally's warm breath around him.
Sally wanted to turn on the lights when she heard William's calm breath, but she did not want the lights
to interrupt William's rest. She could only watch him in the dark and feel his outline with fingers.
Only at this moment did Sally realize that William was old.
His skin was loose, and his face had lost its elasticity. Although his face was still the same as that in
Sally's memories, there was sadness and evasion in his eyes. He was no longer that young man
anymore.
Sally was furious.
At this moment, she wanted to tear the king into pieces.
However, she knew that she had to endure the anger. For so many years, she had wanted to escape
from the king's control, but she never succeeded. However, at this moment, she had a crazy idea. Even
if she had to risk everything and to die with the king, she had to seek justice for William.
Gradually, Sally fell asleep in William's arms.
They had a long sleep.
The next morning, when the sun shone through the window, William immediately opened his eyes.
The intense and warm sunlight made him feel as if he was in another world. For a moment, he did not
realize where he was, and what the date was. When a familiar voice came from behind him, he froze.
"You are awake."
Sally's voice carried a sense of laziness and drowsiness. In an instant, William's body stiffened, but he
did not know what to do.
"Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I will cook for you."
Sally looked at the time. It was only six o'clock. There should be a room for her to cook in the kitchen.
Although she married the king, she had never personally cooked for any man, except William.
William did not know how to answer. He wanted to tell Sally that it was not necessary, but he did not
know if it is appropriate to say this to Sally now and if it would make Sally sad. Therefore, he decided to
keep silent.
Sally did not seem to want to ask William's opinion. She said to herself, "Shall I cook a tea egg? I
remember that it was your favorite."
Tea eggs?
William had not had it for a long time. Now that he recalled the familiar taste in his memory, he felt
hungry.
Sally sensed William's move and smiled.
Her smile was so bright that William was addicted. He was stunned and could no longer control
himself.
