At this mont, Alice Conley’s father and mother were approaching with a lunchbox. Upon seeing Kyle Kinston, they quickly greeted him, "Mr. Kinston, you ca with Mabel to visit Alice again. Please, co in and have a seat."
Kyle Kinston smiled slightly and returned to the ward with Dorian Howards, though Dorian’s eyes were only on Alice Conley now. The woman sitting on the hospital bed, smiling sweetly, and still munching on the apple he had peeled.
Her voice resounded in his ears once more. She said he was the only man she ever loved in her life.
She also said he was the only man she had ever been with!
She loved him, loved him so much. Why, until now, had he only truly believed the fact that she loved him?
Dorian, how ridiculous are you? He asked himself. Then he walked step by step toward the bedside.
"Hey, Dorian, you ran into mom and dad outside..." Alice started, but before she could finish, Dorian bent down, opened his arms, and embraced her.
Alice was stunned. She didn’t mind him hugging her like this, but her parents were here. Wasn’t this showing too much affection, especially when her dad hadn’t co to terms with it yet!
"Dorian, um, why don’t you peel another apple for ?" Alice said.
But Dorian continued to hold her, burying his head in the nook of her neck, murmuring hoarsely, "Alice, I love you..." Being loved by her and loving her, wasn’t this a blessing from the heavens?
Alice’s face flushed red instantly, fumbling for words, "You... why so suddenly..."
"I was too foolish, too silly, tornting myself without reason. Luckily, it’s not too late for everything." Dorian murmured, "In the future, no matter what happens, I will trust you, no more doubts."
Alice was taken aback, then seed to understand, naturally curving her lips into a smile. Her hands embraced him back, feeling an unprecedented sense of relief.
And everyone else in the ward, looking at the embracing couple, felt unwilling to interrupt this mont.
After a long while, Dorian finally let go and straightened up.
Alice snapped back to reality, giving everyone an awkward smile, her cheeks blushing. Even for soone as thick-skinned as her, it was a bit overwhelming.
Nonetheless, the awkward atmosphere was slightly eased when Alice’s mother warmly greeted Kyle Kinston.
To the Conley Family, they undoubtedly saw Kyle Kinston as a great benefactor. Alice’s mother even warmly invited Kyle to have a al with the Conley family after Alice’s discharge, to properly thank him.
"No problem, Mabel and I will definitely co," Kyle Kinston said.
Alice’s mother was even happier, speaking with even more enthusiasm. Dining with such an important person was sothing she never dared to imagine before.
The mother was already pondering whether they should take a photo with Kyle Kinston for mory’s sake and maybe even get his autograph on it.
It must be said, in so respects, Alice and her mother were quite alike.
In contrast to the mother’s enthusiasm, Alice’s father remained reserved, even intentionally avoiding Kyle Kinston’s gaze. After entering the ward, he barely said a word.
