Kyle Kinston wasn’t surprised. After all, he knows his friend’s personality and how much his friend loves Alice Conley. "If you need my help, just say the word," he said.
"Alright, don’t worry, I’ll definitely ask if I need your help." Dorian Howards readily accepted this goodwill, then said, "By the way, how’s your injury? I was really startled when I heard you were attacked."
"It’s just a minor wound," Kyle replied.
"But now you’re not alone anymore. There’s soone else, so don’t be as careless with your life as you used to be," Dorian said.
"I know." Kyle’s eyes fell on Mabel Quinn, who was laughing and chatting with Alice not far away. This ti, when he heard the gunshot and felt the intense pain in his shoulder, for the first ti, he realized he couldn’t just die like that!
He had to live, to return to Mabel’s side.
Perhaps for the first ti in his life, he had such a strong desire to live, unlike before, when death seed more like a release to him.
Suddenly, Alice’s voice exclaid, "What, you’re getting married to Kyle too?"
Dorian imdiately turned to Kyle, "Are you and Mabel getting married?"
Kyle said, "She has agreed to marry ." He looked at that figure with eyes full of gentleness. "This ti, I certainly won’t let her leave again." He won’t push this happiness away again.
anwhile, Mabel and Alice were still talking. Mabel was saying, "It’s not that soon. At the very least, we should wait until your wedding is over and Kyle’s injury is all healed. Then we’ll start planning it. It’ll be a few months down the road anyway."
"That’s still pretty soon, but by then, my belly will be so big, I won’t be able to be your bridesmaid," Alice said with a bit of regret.
Mabel laughed, "Alright, your most important task by then will be to safely give birth to the baby and then make the godmother."
"Absolutely," Alice said with a smile.

At night, Kyle watched as Mabel was engrossed in holding the badge that Daniel Harris had once given her. He stepped forward and said, "What’s up, why are you suddenly looking at this badge?"
"It’s nothing. I was just sorting through things I brought over and happened to co across this badge," she said, putting it back.
He suddenly embraced her and said in a low voice, "Do you know? Every ti you look at this badge like that, I can’t help but wonder if you’re thinking about Daniel Harris... Mabel, I... I get jealous."
In the past, he would keep these thoughts buried in his heart, never voicing them to her. But now, he expressed his unease and worries to her without any reservations.
Mabel was stunned, looking at him in surprise. Was that so? Did he really care so much about this badge?
Did it make him anxious every ti she looked at it?
"I’m sorry, I didn’t know you..." She bit her lip and said, "This badge was made by Daniel, modeled after my original badge. Initially, I didn’t like it either, because this badge isn’t the original one my father gave to keep safe, and it’s lost its original significance. But I didn’t know how to handle it. When I look at this badge, I don’t think about Daniel but my father, feeling a sense of guilt for not fulfilling what my father entrusted to ."
