Even though Ryan says that, after he really blurts it out, he still has some expectations. Ryan hopes
that Eunice could tell him that she does not mind, so he could visit her like before.
However, she doesn't.
All his hopes fall through the moment she nods.
Ryan feels as if he has received an incomparably clear answer. Eunice does not want to see him, not
even the slightest bit.
Ryan is upset. He cannot believe that the girl who once liked him so much opens her eyes but does not
want to see him.
Maybe she suffers from the PTSD. However, there is no reason that could comfort him.
Looking at her, Ryan does not even have the leeway to refuse. The person who has brought such great
harm to her is he, so he has to bear the consequences.
"Alright." With a low voice, he spats out a single word. Ryan weakly lowers his shoulders and says,
"Just as you want."
Hearing this, Eunice looks at him for the last time, and then slowly closes her eyes, isolating everything
she could see.
Eunice hears he stands up. Not long after, the door is pulled open. Then, with a 'thud', the door is
closed. Eunice cannot feel him anymore and he leaves.
A few minutes later, Eunice slowly opens her eyes. She looks at the empty ward, but she does not feel
relaxed. Instead, she feels even more disappointed than before.
Eunice has to try her best to restrain her emotions so that she could face him so calmly. It isn't that she
doesn't want to see him. She is afraid that she would lose control when she sees him leave again.
It isn't easy to reject a man she once loved. Eunice feels no better than him when she sees him say, "If
you don't want to see me, I won't come."
She finds that she still likes Ryan. During the three months that she was unconscious, her love is
locked in the depths of her memories. However, it is not cleaned up and forgotten.
However, she does not dare to express her feeling, nor does she want to express it. She needs to
calmly think about it. She has to overcome her fears and uneasiness, instead of making decisions in
such a state that she has yet to completely consider the reality.
With her previous experience, Eunice has become even more cautious towards this relationship.
Although she doesn't know whether if this is good or not, she at least doesn't have the impulse to move
forward without discretion any more.
So they should be apart first. If they don't see each other, at least she won't be in such a mess. There
are too many problems between her and Ryan, so they need time to slowly work them out.
This night, Eunice does not fall asleep until early in the morning. She seems to smell the scent of Ryan,
and she sleeps exceptionally soundly.
...
In the following period, Lily comes to the hospital several times in succession. Each time, she brings a
large bag of tonic soup. Lily prepares these for Lorraine or for Eunice. The services could be compared
with a health center.
Later, Eunice recovers a lot. She really couldn't handle Lily's enthusiasm. She says embarrassedly,
"Lily, you don't have to bring me things every time. There is already lots of nourishment."
"No, you have only just recovered. You need nourishment. You should be careful. Besides, I have a
nanny who cooks at home. She is very good at cooking, and I don't need to personally prepare. You
don't have to be so polite."
Lily knows that Eunice has good intentions and is afraid that she would be tired. However, as Lily thinks
that Eunice is injured so badly because of Adair, Lily feels so guilty. Let alone the soup, Lily even wants
to ask Fanny to look after Eunice if they agree.
Eunice looks at the pile of things on the table. Although she wants to refuse, she could only accept
them gratefully.
After lunch, Lorraine goes out. Lily stays with Eunice in the ward. Although they are quite different in
age, Eunice is a very sensible and mature, so they do not feel that there is a generation gap in
communication.
As their only common good friend, Ryan is inevitably mentioned.
As a friend, Lily has known Ryan for a long time. After Eunice gets ill, Ryan pays much attention on her.
Lily knows that he really likes Eunice to the bone. Lily couldn't help but say nice things for him.
"Eunice, I want to ask you something. Don't be unhappy. Did you quarrel with Ryan again?"
Hearing Ryan's name, Eunice is stunned for a moment, and then she shakes her head, "No."
They haven't even seen each other these days. Of course, they don't have a quarrel.
However, recently, both Lorraine and Thomas have intentionally avoided mentioning Ryan. Eunice has
also subconsciously told herself not to think about him. Now that Lily has mentioned him, Eunice feels
disturbed and puzzled.
'It has been a long time since he left the hospital last time. What did he do these days? Did he miss
me?'
However, the thought has just flashed through her mind, and she shakes her head in disdain. It is she
who asks Ryan not to come. How could she miss him now?
This isn't right.
Lily observes Eunice's behavior. She acts very similar to when she quarrels with Rex. Actually, Eunice
cared about Ryan very much. However, after experiencing too many things, she still has a knot in her
heart that could not be untied. That is why they are stuck in a stalemate here.
Their problem has nothing to do with love. Eunice just doesn't recover from the accident.
Lily lets out a sigh of relief, as she understands Eunice's feeling. As long as they still love each other,
everything will be alright.
"Actually, Ryan and I have known each other for so long. I have some understanding of his character.
Although Ryan usually has a cold face, he is very gentle. Furthermore, he won't pretend at all facing
someone he doesn't like."
"I know." Eunice nods in agreement. Actually, she understands, but...
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I just don't want to see him. When I see him, I would remember
many things. I instinctively feel nervous. I want to retreat, and I can't help but want to run away."
"It's normal." Lily sees that Eunice is willing to talk about her true feelings and quickly comforts her
emotions. "Actually, there is such a process. After experiencing such an accident, how could there be
no grudge? I understand."
After she finishes speaking, Lily changes her attitude," But you cannot just run away. You still have to
face this problem head-on. I'm not saying nice things for him. Isn't it uncomfortable for you to be like
this?"
These words come to Eunice's heart. In fact, she is not happy to treat Ryan like this. She feels
uncomfortable. She is not happy at all.
Every day, she feels as if there is a problem. She would not be happy if she cannot solve it.
"Lily," she asks hesitantly, "I don't know how to face him."
