After leaving LK Company, Mika Sumrs didn’t return to the hospital.
She wandered aimlessly down the street, her mind filled with what Ian Shaw had told her.
’Before I knew the whole story, I could still hold on to my hatred for him. But now... how can I hate him...?’
’Tristan Grayson had deceived and caused so much pain.’
’But, just as Ian Shaw said, he’s paid the price. He doesn’t owe anything...’
’This relationship of ours... the pain was too deep. We were both left battered and bruised. There’s no going back...’
’The wounds of the past will forever be a knot in our hearts that can never be untied...’
’Maybe I shouldn’t have co back. Maybe... I was really the one in the wrong this ti...’
Mika Sumrs looked up at the sky. A smile touched her lips as tears stread down her cheeks.
’Tristan Grayson, from this mont on, let’s let each other go. Let’s bury this love that should never have existed deep in our hearts... or perhaps forget it entirely...’
「Anhurst Hospital.」
By the ti she returned, it was already past ten at night.
She sat by the hospital bed, looking at Silas Kent with a complex mix of emotions in her eyes. Reaching out, she held his hand tightly and said in a choked whisper, "Silas, please wake up. When you do, let’s go back to Austerra, okay?"
"We can go back to how things were, working together and going ho together."
...
Just then, the hand in hers twitched slightly. Mika Sumrs gripped it even tighter. "Silas, you can hear , can’t you? Please wake up..."
Silas Kent’s brow furrowed as he slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Mika Sumrs’ reddened eyes, he felt a pang of heartache, but he was desperate to know if what she’d just said was true. "You’re willing to go back to Austerra with ?"
"Yes, I am. This place... it was never right for ."
"Are you only agreeing to co back with because I was in a car accident?" ’If so, then I’m truly pathetic...’
"No. I’ve thought it through. The past is in the past. It’s ti to look forward and cherish the person who’s right here in front of ."
"Cherish the person who’s right here in front of "... Those words made Silas Kent’s heart tremble violently. He sat up and pulled Mika Sumrs into his arms. "Yes. I’m just glad you’ve figured things out."
"Silas, please give so ti. I can’t marry you just yet... but I promise I’ll try to forget everything..."
"Okay, I will. I have all the ti in the world to wait for you, no matter how many years it takes."
"Thank you. Truly, thank you."
"You silly girl, don’t say such things. I’ve told you before—in this whole world, you and I are the only ones who are perfect for each other," Silas Kent said, his voice trembling as he held Mika Sumrs tightly.
Nestled in his embrace, Mika Sumrs couldn’t stop the tears from falling...
Three days later, Silas Kent was discharged from the hospital.
They returned to the company, handed off their remaining work, and then left.
’In this life, the person I’ve wronged the most is my son, Kiki. But I have to play the part of the bad mother to the very end...’
Mika Sumrs transferred everything she had worked so hard for over the years into Kiki’s na. And until Kiki ca of age, all of it would be managed by Tristan Grayson...
Seeing Mika Sumrs staring blankly into space, Silas Kent walked over, wrapped an arm around her waist, and said softly, "Let’s go. We can always co back to see him in the future."
"We won’t be back. Not ever," Mika Sumrs said, shaking her head with a bitter smile.
