Semua Bab Yearning for Her Return : Bab 301 - Bab 310

Zelda took this opportunity to chime in, "We have quite a number of tourist attractions in Rookfort, and now is also a good time to go around. "You can have a look around in the morning and chit-chat or pick fruits in the garden when it's hot in the afternoon. "It so happens that Becca just came back not long ago, so you can bring her along and let her familiarize herself with the area if it's alright with you.""I don't mind, but I'm afraid that Becca might," Maxwell replied with a glint of happiness in his eyes."I'm not familiar with Rookfort myself and it'll do more harm than good if I bring Becca along," he added, in order to stop the atmosphere from getting tense.He understood that he shouldn't be too hasty. He knew that if he had taken Zelda up on her offer, he'd end up being pushed further away by Rebecca and his efforts would be wasted. Therefore, it was better to reject her offer now. Zelda, who wasn't privy to his thoughts, scoffed, "What's there to be afraid of?

Rebecca was having conflicting thoughts. She didn't want to care about the pitiful man who was currently bedridden, but her mind kept flashing images of Daniel in the future. She was deeply hurt by the scars on his face and the way people looked at him.She forced the images out of her mind and twisted open the tube. She tried to distract herself by doing other things. She rolled up her thin sleeves to expose an arm full of scars. She had accumulated them over time and they weren't that obvious anymore. However, they were still glaringly obvious when compared to parts of her that were unscathed. Adding to that was a greenish-red bruise she got from knocking against the doorframe.Ryan had wanted to look at the bruise he caused, but his whole body froze at the sight of her arm. There were long, narrow knife wounds running down her arm. Although the scars didn't cover her entire arm, it was still hard to believe that a human did so to a young girl.Ryan knew Rebecca had scars on h

It was just that Daniel didn't expect that reaction from Rebecca. She didn't say anything bad about him but promised to be responsible for his hospitalization. However, the final thing she said before leaving was like a sharp knife that pierced through all his hopes.No matter what thoughts he harbored for her, they were never ever getting back together. Was it really impossible to reunite?Daniel's mind kept repeating the words Rebecca said. He wasn't interested in the brothers' quarrel, but one thing that caught his attention was Maxwell calling Rebecca "Becca". So, he asked, "How did Maxwell meet Becca?""You're asking me?" Ryan dragged a chair sat by the bed and clicked his tongue again."Who knows what thoughts he has been hiding? He had been asking about Becca from Carl when we were at the Collins …"He paused mid-sentence and swore. "Fuck! Did that jerk have his eyes on Becca since back then? Becca was still a child then!"It was a scary thought, but Ryan felt it was p

Like …It was a strange word.No matter the type of liking, it always brought joy to people's hearts.A person might like a pet because of how cute it was. They might like beautiful scenery. They might also like the world for its long history …And, they might like a person just because.Rebecca didn't rush to answer him. Rather, she looked at Maxwell with the same seriousness."Like you said, Mr. Jenkins, my words aren't as simple as it sounds. Maybe it's the way my heart skipped a beat when you walked toward me. Or maybe it's because of your repeated help or your courteous manners. "But no matter the reason, it wasn't because of my feelings. I can even admit that Daniel still holds a special place in my heart. Do you still feel the same way after hearing what I said?"Rebecca had feelings for Daniel since she was young. She couldn't tell others that she had fully gotten over him.Even if she decided to cut off all connections with Daniel, when he stood in front of her again

Fortunately, no one in the hospital room paid much attention to Mary. Except for James's helpless sigh, the others were used to her personality. What else could they do? She was always throwing tantrums. If they argued with her every time, they would have been driven crazy by now.After Mary left, the others in the room didn't linger either. Zelda was in poor health, and coming out here was already worrying enough. If they stayed longer, the rest of the Johnson family might come looking for them.So, after bidding farewell to Henry and his wife, they left with their meal boxes.Seeing them leave, Henry and his wife also intended to leave. After all, everything that needed to be said had been said. James didn't oppose it as they had imagined, so the weight in their hearts had lifted. It was getting late, and they wanted to go back to have a meal and rest properly. Plus, it had been a while since they had spent time with their son. The thought of moving to Jimmy's place had them fee
