Ever since she wakes up, Eunice has never thought of making up with this man again. To her, making
up not only means starting the relationship from scratch, but also means a reconciliation with the past.
She has a grudge now. So, it is not easy for her to accept him at once.
However, even she does not know why things have developed to this point--Ryan lowers his head and
kisses her. She cannot move anymore after dodging slightly.
Everything around her seems to be still. All of her senses rest on their lips. Eunice opens her eyes
slightly and meets Ryan's eyes which are not closed. They look at each other closely and feel the
electric currents passing through them.
It is just an extremely restrained kiss. But even so, Ryan has a hard-on.
He misses Eunice very much. At this moment, Eunice is willing to accept him again. When he kisses
his beloved girl, he simply can't suppress his desire.
It has nothing to do with any dirty thoughts. It is just that his body instinctively longs for her.
However, Ryan is not a beast. Under such circumstances, he will not do anything. Even if Eunice is not
sick, he still will stop.
Eunice has just promised him and needs more time and space to think independently, instead of being
taken by him blindly.
Maybe it used to be like this. But from now on, he is determined to change everything in the past.
"It was you who liked me before. Now, it's my turn to chase you."
Ryan flings his arm around Eunice's nape and strokes the delicate skin beneath his finger with his
thumb, as if he is touching a pitiful little pet.
Eunice is too shy to look up. She reaches out and pushes away Ryan. Then, she lies on the bed and
turns her back to him. "I, I'm sleepy and am going to rest. You should go to bed early. Good night."
Ryan can hear her anxiety and panic from her words.
He smiles silently and stops teasing her. "Good night."
He bends down and pours out the hot water that has cooled in the basin. After cleaning everything up,
Ryan returns to the bedside again and unfolds the narrow folded single chair and lies on it.
With a light sound, the lights above his head are turned off. Everything falls into darkness. However,
the two hearts, which have been drifting for hundreds of days, land again now.
The chair beneath him is cold and hard. But Ryan feels as if he is lying on cotton.
He knows that Eunice hasn't fallen asleep either. This night is too special for them. She must also have
all sorts of thoughts in her mind.
When Ryan hears the messy breathing beside his ear, he finally blurts out through the invisible
darkness what he would like to have said all the time, "Eunice, I won't let you get hurt again. What has
happened to you before, I won't let any of it happen again. Sorry, I didn't protect you well in the past.
Thank you for giving me another chance."
No one deserves it. Anyone else who suffers it may no longer want to see him, let alone muster the
courage to accept him again.
Her "Love you again with all my courage", moves Ryan and demolishes the wall that he has built inside
to protect himself.
A simple "Thank you" is not enough to express his excitement. But other than these two words, he
does not know what to say to express his feelings.
He is thanking her for being willing to be with him again. If Eunice dies because of this accident, Ryan
doesn't know how guilty and regretful he will be for the rest of his life.
Perhaps he will never fall in love with anyone else in his lifetime and live with this kind of sin.
Eunice looks at the window in front of her. It is dark outside the window. Only the street lamp is on. The
moon in the sky is bending and emitting a misty light through the clouds.
However, Eunice is in a merry mood now.
The man's excited but calm voice rings in her ears. Eunice opens her mouth and closes it. She wants
to say something but does not know how to express it. After half a minute, she says, "Ryan, we all
have to be fine."
Perhaps it is not difficult for others to be fine. But for her and Ryan and their affection which hasn't been
long but has suffered a lot, it is so difficult.
Right now, she doesn't expect anything else. It is enough for her that they can be fine.
"Alright." Ryan closes his eyes slightly. He has listened to all sorts of requests for more than 30 years in
his life. But at this moment, he feels sad because of these words, "We will be fine."
He is willing to keep going with her whatever will happen in the future.

The last person to know the news of Eunice waking up is Pehry. He hasn't been to the company for a
few days because of the scald. Karl knows that Pehry has been scalded and doesn't tell him the news
until the last few days.
At that time, Pehry is sitting in the living room watching the football match. After hearing the good news
from the phone, he springs from the sofa. "Really?!"
Jasmine, who is cooking in the semi-open kitchen, is frightened by his sudden howl. Her hand holding
the pan severely trembles and she almost flings the fried egg out.
She takes a deep breath and glares at the man who is pacing in the living room and talking loudly. She
turns off the heat angrily and brings the eggs, toast, handmade blueberry jam, and a cup of hot coffee
to the table in the dining room.
She stands in front of Pehry and mouths, "It's time to eat."
Pehry just looks down at her, not intending to go to the dining room.
Jasmine looks up at the time. It is 8:25 a.m. now. She has to go back to school at noon. Although there
is time, she still wants to go there earlier.
Thus, she reaches out to point in the direction of the dining room and whispers, "I've prepared
breakfast for you. I have something to do at school at noon and will leave first...."
As she speaks, she turns around to pick up the black backpack on the sofa which she has carried.
This time, Pehry no longer pretends to be invisible. He bends down and presses her hand that is
holding the bag. He raises his eyebrows and continues to talk to the person on the other end of the
phone, "Alright, I know. This is a good thing. At least you can be free from it. Visit me later when you
are available. I still have something to do. I have to go, bye."
Jasmine stands closer and hears the clear male voice on the microphone. The other party laughs
jokingly, "What's the matter with you so early in the morning? It seems like there's someone at your
home? Pehry, you're not young anymore. Can you settle down...."
"Alright, alright. Stop lecturing me. Take care of your business with your doctor first. I'm hanging up.
Bye!" without waiting for Karl to reply, Pehry directly hangs up.
The first thing he does after removing his hand from his ear is to ask Jasmine, "Where are you
going?"
