Once, Lily Parker thought the happiest thing was simply holding Ethan Hart's hand. Even if they did nothing, even if they had nothing, just being quietly by his side, feeling his tender presence so close, was all she ever wanted. But now, after everything that had happened, she found herself at a loss for how to be with him. They sat together, wordless, their shared melancholy fate hanging between them.The moon over the Western Sea seemed especially large and bright, like a pearl set against the black velvet of the night sky. Its soft light spilled over the shimmering surface of the lake, reminiscent of the tenderness between lovers.They had rented a small boat, drifting across the misty waters, far from the madding crowd, with no one to disturb them.Ethan stood at the bow, still in his black suit that he hadn't had time to change out of, the first three buttons of his shirt undone. His hand was casually tucked into his pocket, his gaze fixed on the distant lights on the shore. His

Winter was approaching, and the damp air grew cold and desolate. Dark clouds obscured the moon, deepening the night's darkness.Feeling the chill, Lily shivered involuntarily. Ethan naturally pulled her closer, yet carefully, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.In this world, men and women are like incomplete halves of a circle, only becoming whole when they find their destined other half. He firmly believed she was his destined half. Even in the days of his coma, all he dreamt of was holding her, a simple yet seemingly insurmountable desire.Suddenly, Lily lifted her head, meeting Ethan's deep, ink-like eyes. Acting faster than her mind, she pressed her lips to his. Ethan, taken aback at first, soon lost control, entangling with her in a passionate kiss. Their tongues gently caressed each other, their eyes locked in an intense gaze, their souls seemingly drawn into each other's depths. It was a familiar longing, a deep affection from the heart.But for some reason

Before discarding her phone, Lily Parker saw that there were over a dozen missed calls and a text message. Julian Sterling never texted; he found it bothersome. Yet, he had sent one – "Do you really think you can start over together?" Such a piercing question. What had they done wrong, after all? They had merely fallen in love. Still, she wanted to believe in Ethan Hart, to gamble once more with fate. Ethan took her to a property not registered in his name, located in a modest neighborhood outside of Lorehaven. It was a simple one-living room, two-bedrooms apartment. He always planned meticulously; everything they needed for living was there, except there was no phone, no television, and no internet connection. The two of them were like a couple isolated from the world, content just to quietly be with each other. After her bath, Lily came out to find Ethan leaning against the door, his profile thin and his eyes betraying a hint of fatigue. She thought he must be truly exhausted.

The thunder eventually faded, and large raindrops pattered against the window glass. The howling wind stirred the curtains in a gentle dance, and the night outside was a blur of shadows. She fell asleep quickly in his arms, dreamless and undisturbed, sleeping soundly. He, on the other hand, stayed awake all night, as if reluctant to let these precious moments slip away in sleep. In the morning, Lily got up and looked out the window. The sky, washed clean by the night's rain, was exceptionally clear and blue. She smelled the faint aroma of rice and smiled as she ran out. Ethan, wearing an apron, was busy in the kitchen. The rice cooker simmered with millet porridge, and the frying pan sizzled with sausages and sunny-side-up eggs, the edges of the eggs slightly charred. She playfully flipped them with a fork, pouting, "They look terrible!" Ethan turned off the stove and playfully tweaked her nose, laughing, "If you think my cooking is bad, then you can cook from now on, and I'll just

They continued their journey back to Lorehaven by bus. Approaching their home, Lily mentioned she was thirsty, so Ethan went to a nearby store to buy mineral water. Coming out, he saw Lily standing there, waiting. He playfully called out her name twice, but she didn't respond, standing still, her gaze fixed ahead.Following her gaze, Ethan saw a striking Jaguar parked under a sparse tree. The person in the driver's seat was someone they both knew. The chilly autumn air enveloped them.He went over and took Lily's hand, only then realizing how cold and limp it was. He tried to lead her forward, but she stubbornly refused to move. Her face, even her lips, were pale, her expression as desolate as withered leaves, her eyes filled with despair.Julian Sterling flicked ash off his cigarette, smiling faintly, "Ethan, no matter what, she's with me now.""So what?" Ethan Hart closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.Julian's smile was suave. "You don't mind? Let me tell you, she has a birthmark

Lily held Ethan tightly, not speaking again, just silently shedding tears. Just moments ago, Ethan had tried to explain everything to Mr. and Mrs. Parker, but Henry Parker was too furious to listen, assuming explanations were just excuses, believing where there's smoke, there's fire. He sighed deeply, turning to Lily, "Sweetheart, as long as you break up with him and come home with us, you'll still be my daughter." After all, a child is always a parent's dearest concern, how could they bear to let go? Ethan Hart clutched Lily Parker tightly, the air around them thick with tension. Finally, in a fragile and slow voice, she said, "Dad, we've done nothing wrong. I just want to be with him." It was the first time Lily had ever defied her father so openly. At her words, Henry Parker, overwhelmed with anger, raised his hand high. Ethan quickly shielded her, ready to take the blow for her, but Henry, in the end, couldn't bring himself to strike. Disappointed, the elderly couple left. Lil
Chains of Desire, Bonds of Love Chapter 89 How (I)
Lily Parker always harbored an inexplicable fear of hospitals, with their stark white walls and the pungent smell of disinfectant. The people moving in and out always seemed pale and dazed, as if a white fog enveloped them, leading them astray, changing them forever. Her grandfather was in the late stages of stomach cancer. Towards the end, he couldn't eat and alternated between unconsciousness and pain. Even at her young age, Lily found it terrifying. On his lucid days, he was mostly silent, occasionally looking at her and sighing. Her uncle was infertile, making her the only grandchild. People said her grandfather adored her to the bone, partly because she resembled her grandmother. During those days by his bedside, she often heard him murmur "Blossom," her grandmother's nickname. It was then she first understood what enduring love meant. Eventually, her grandfather didn't survive that winter, as cold as the one now. Her father had just been moved from the emergency room to the IC
Chains of Desire, Bonds of Love Chapter 90 How (II)
She didn't remember how she left the hospital, her entire body numb, moving mechanically forward as if she couldn't even find her direction. It was only when Ethan Hart caught her, "Lily!" that she realized he had never left the hospital. Wiping away her tears, she looked up at him blankly. His eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles underneath, and his cheeks were painfully thin. She felt like crying again. Ethan wanted to embrace her but realized his hands were too cold. He warmed them up before finally taking her hand, asking, "How is your father?" Forcing herself to be strong, she shook her head unconvincingly, "Don't worry, it's all right now." Ethan paused, looking at her complexly, but didn't challenge her words. Instead, he gently pressed his face against her cold cheek, murmuring, "I'm sorry... Lily, I'm sorry, it's my aunt..." He had his suspicions about what had happened, and a phone call had confirmed them. She wrapped her arms around his waist, her voice muffled as sh
