I was so tired,more tired than I had ever been.
But I remembered that he said he had nothing to do with Amelia.
It was like a drought-stricken land suddenly receiving a downpour of rain.The love I had for him as a teenager finally had a result,and it gave me new hope.
After going around in circles,we were back where we started.It turned out that you were still here.
I opened my eyes with great difficulty.Ethan was sitting on the chair,his eyes closed and looking extremely tired.
I just moved my finger,and he woke up immediately and leaned over eagerly.
"Emma..."
All traces of his former coldness were gone.
I gently stroked his face.Fortunately,we hadn't drifted too far apart.
The doctor said that I had fainted and had a fever because I was too tired from working overtime and a bit malnourished.
Ethan was so worried that he insisted I rest.
So the two of us stayed in the VIP ward of the hospital,chatting intermittently.
I told him in detail what had happened back then.In fact,after all these years,it didn't hurt as much anymore.When I thought about it,if it weren't for Amelia's scheming,I,who was not independent at all at that time,might have really dragged Ethan down.
But when I saw the look of pity on his face,I couldn't help but shed tears.
I had been pampered all my life,but suddenly I had to endure so many hardships and was forced to become strong.I had already gotten used to it.
But one day,someone who loved me appeared and looked at me with pity.
All the grievances welled up inside me.
While I was sick,Lucas was sent to Ethan's mother's place.
As soon as she saw Lucas,Ethan's mother burst into tears.
"He looks exactly like Ethan when he was a child..."
What else was there not to understand?On that innocent and absurd night,I had left behind the crystallization of our love.
Ethan's mother didn't blame me for leaving without saying goodbye.She just felt sorry for how hard I had it during my pregnancy.
Ethan leaned over and kissed me.He took my hand,and something cold slid onto my finger.
It was a plain silver ring,small and slightly deformed.
"Emma,I wanted to give this to you three years ago..."
Ethan said with a hint of grievance.
"Then why didn't you come to find me when we just broke up..."
I buried my face in his arms and asked in a muffled voice.
"I did come to find you..."
"I saw you with Ryan at that time,and I was a bit angry.So I deliberately didn't see you."
"But I missed you so much."
"So I thought,forget it,I should still go to find you."
"But just as I got downstairs,I met Amelia.She was crying and told me that you were with another man and asked me to stop liking you."
"I was so angry at that time,baby.I told her that I was annoyed with her and asked her not to pester me anymore."
"Then I received your breakup message."
When he said this,he looked down at me.I awkwardly buried my head in his arms.
"But I was really insecure.I didn't want you to live a hard life with me.Although my business project had already started at that time."
"But I still couldn't bear to part with you.So I bought a pair of rings and drove all night to find you.But it was raining heavily that day.On the highway,a car skidded and caused a chain reaction of car accidents.When I woke up,I couldn't find you anymore."
When I heard this,I couldn't hold back my tears anymore and hugged him tightly:
"Sorry,Ethan Johnson.I'm so sorry..."
"Emma,don't cry.It's not your fault.You've suffered so much."
"Emma,it's not easy for us to be together.Let's both be well,okay?"
My heart was filled with a mixture of sadness and relief.
I couldn't help but raise my head and kiss him,expressing my feelings with my actions.
"Okay."
