"Yes, it has been fulfilled," Mabel Quinn said. It was just that during the process of fulfilling her wish, she experienced too much unhappiness. It also made her realize that so people could change so much out of desire and greed.
Kyle Kinston slipped Mabel Quinn’s letter back into the envelope and then asked her, "Do you want it?"
She nodded, "Next ti I go to visit Dad’s grave, I’ll take this letter to him, let him know what I wrote back then, and fulfill the promise I made to him."
He pondered for a mont, then smiled and handed the letter back to her, "Okay."
The two of them moved the displaced soil back into place and tamped it down before leaving.
Mabel noticed that Kyle Kinston’s forehead was slightly sweaty, and she instinctively wanted to wipe it for him. But when she used a tissue to wipe it, she realized the tissue had been used to clean her hands, and her hands had so dirt on them. Now, she had transferred the dirt onto his forehead.
Sure enough, though his sweat was wiped away, a grimy mark appeared on his forehead.
"Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!" she kept apologizing, quickly pulling out a clean tissue, tiptoeing to wipe away that dirty spot.
But instead, the more she wiped, the more the dirt spread.
Mabel felt a frustrated, teary urge, just regretting she hadn’t brought wet wipes with her today.
But Kyle Kinston simply pulled Mabel back into the car. He checked his face in the mirror inside the car, then looked at Mabel with a teasing expression.
She felt embarrassed under his gaze, "How about I wipe it again?" she said, reaching for a tissue again.
He held her hand and said, "You had a wish you wanted to fulfill for Daniel Harris. What about ? Do I have a wish you want to fulfill?"
"Back then, I hadn’t t you yet, so even if I wanted to write wishes in the Ti Box, I couldn’t!" she quickly explained.
"What about now?" he asked.
"Huh?" she was stunned, "Now?"
"Now, do you have any wishes you’d like to fulfill for ?" he asked, "Then let’s see, in ten years, if they co true."
Mabel gazed at Kyle Kinston in a daze. Wishes? Did she have any wishes she wanted to fulfill for him? "If possible, I hope your hidden illness can truly be cured."
He was taken aback, looking at her with surprise, evidently not expecting her to say that.
Perhaps his expression was too shocked, so she said hesitantly, "Why, did I say sothing wrong?"
"No, you didn’t say anything wrong," he replied, then gave a low laugh, "But if you really hope that much, maybe in ten years, there will be hope for my illness to improve."
According to the precedents of the Kinston Family, if Life Dependent can accompany for a long ti, then in the future, the portentous pain of the Blood Curse will appear less frequently, and may even disappear, and on nights of the Full Moon, even a short separation from the Life Dependent wouldn’t feel too painful.
As long as... the Life Dependent can stay by one’s side for a long ti. And this, for the people of the Kinston Family, is already the best fate. Then when that day cos, at the mont of their Life Dependent’s death, the people of the Kinston Family will also choose death calmly.
