"Putting aside the blindness, I don’t even know how much longer I can live. What I fear most is that one mont I’m happy with you, and the next, I might die right in front of you. That would be an even deeper and heavier injury to you, you know?"
"Just like you, if you suddenly die in front of , I would completely collapse! The pain that I can’t bear myself, how can I expect you to endure it with ?"
"Arlo, a blind , a who might die any day, do you want that? Do you want Ariel like this?"
"I do..."
A weak yet determined voice rang out. Ariel’s fingertips trembled and her voice choked, "Arlo.... you woke up?"
Ariel’s tears fell onto Arlo’s hand, and Arlo reversed his grip to hold Ariel’s hand, his voice low, "No matter what you beco, you’ll always be the one I love the most. I guessed you left because of your blindness. I wanted you to contact because I wanted to tell you not to be afraid; I’m here, I’ll always be here."
"Arlo—" Ariel tightly gripped Arlo’s hand, sobbing.
"If in this world Ariel is not worthy of standing beside , then no one is. Ariel, I understand you; I know you have your pride. You don’t want others to call you a blind person or say you’re my burden. I also said I’d wait for you. You’re going to Italy for treatnt; I’ll wait for you. If you want to leave with your brother, I’ll also wait for you."
"If I die on the operating table, will you wait for for a lifeti?"
"Do you want to wait for you for a lifeti? I can wait." Arlo’s voice was light yet firm.
Ariel froze for a mont and slowly shook her head, "Don’t wait for a lifeti. If I die, just think of occasionally. And—if I give birth to our child, you must take good care of our baby."
"So, what do you want to do? Is it to sign the divorce agreent you prepared long ago?" Arlo looked at Ariel’s face, his pupils dim and boundless.
Although Ariel couldn’t see, she felt Arlo’s gaze directly on her. Ariel choked and spoke in a low voice, "How did you..... know?"
During this period, she enjoyed Arlo’s thoughtful care but had silently placed a divorce agreent signed with her na at the bottom of the wardrobe, intending to tell Arlo before going to Italy. But how did Arlo discover it?
Arlo’s pale lips lightly parted, "I saw it long ago. If this is what you wish for, that I’ll be happy after you leave, then I’ll comply." Arlo paused for a mont, looked at Ariel’s face, and said softly, "I’ve signed the divorce agreent. But if your surgery is successful, Ariel, you have to co back to . If it fails, Ariel, as per your wish, I’ll forget you, marry and have children, and live on."
"Okay." Ariel smiled faintly.
Arlo’s gaze was deep. In the unseeable sight of Ariel, he embedded her visage deep in his eyes.
In the na of love, signing the divorce agreent—perhaps only he and Ariel could do this.
Ariel, I will silently be by your side when you can’t see, loving you—not only as Arlo.
Arlo’s eyes deepened as he looked at Ariel, lost in thought.
You have your love for , and I have my unwavering loyalty to you. For your good, you can sign this divorce agreent before going to Italy, and I can continue to be by your side for you.
Ti is short, life is not long, I want us to never part.

Daisy and Dawn chatted and laughed, as if they were back to the childhood days when they were childhood sweethearts, happy and simple.
