Evalian Chapman lay on the hospital bed, watching Dawn Sutherland, who was silent and had a serious expression. She pursed her lips and slowly spoke with a frail voice, "Dawn, why do you want to marry Daisy Grant? Am I not good enough, not as good as her? Or is her family background more impressive than mine? Dawn, may I ask you why? Daisy Grant is not only your brother’s forr fiancée, but she has also slept with another man and is pregnant with his child. Do you still want to marry such a woman? Am I not even as good as her?"
Dawn slightly narrowed his eyes and looked at his wristwatch on his left hand, a birthday gift from Daisy this year. His eyes deepened, and his low voice resonated in the hospital room.
"I would rather her family background be more ordinary; that way, perhaps the distance between us would be closer." Dawn’s slender fingers caressed the exquisite watch, his eyes soft. "Evalian, you are great and outstanding too. But no matter how good or outstanding any girl is, in my eyes, there’s only her."
The soft glance at the corner of Dawn’s eye was not for her but at the watch in his hand, as if looking through the watch at soone else, his gaze brimming with starlight. Evalian was montarily stunned, her face turning even paler. Biting her lip, she asked, "Is the person in your heart, the deep love that can’t be, really... Daisy Grant?"
Dawn’s hand stopped caressing the watch, he silently nodded after a while, "Yes, the deep love I can’t express is for the one I’m marrying today. Evalian, I am the one who has wronged you, it has nothing to do with her. So if you have anger or resentnt, if you want to hit or scold soone, direct it at , not her."
"But she has already slept with soone else! And has a child! Dawn, what has this blind love gained you?! You can’t have her, you can’t have her heart, so why do you still protect her like this?!" Evalian’s emotions beca agitated.
Dawn pursed his thin lips, his voice low yet firm: "Truly loving soone doesn’t an always wanting to possess them; I want her to be happy more. If her happiness lies with soone else, I would do everything possible to send her to that person so she can be happy. If that person can’t make her happy, then I will; I can protect her for a lifeti. I would trade my life to have her look back at even once, to see my existence."
"Then why did you agree to be with in the first place? Why did you date !" Evalian’s eyes filled with tears.
Dawn looked at Evalian, "I’m sorry, Evalian, it was my impulse that hurt you. I agreed to be with you because she was getting married, and only because she once said she’d feel at ease seeing happy. So for her peace of mind, for her words, I impulsively agreed to make you my girlfriend."
Evalian had never felt the pain of rejection as she did now, realizing her sorrowful plight!
She always thought Daisy Grant had taken away her happiness, only to realize that her fleeting happiness was granted by Daisy’s re words!
Evalian’s body trembled slightly, as she cried looking at Dawn, "Dawn, I always thought you were gentle and refined, but you hurt people more cruelly than anyone! You agreed to date just because of Daisy Grant’s words... Dawn, do you realize how cruel your words are!"
Dawn’s gaze was sombre and heavy, "I know my words are cruel, but it’s the truth, Evalian. In my heart, for this lifeti, there will only ever be the na Daisy Grant. Whether I marry you or soone else, the one I love will always only be Daisy Grant."
"If I married you, I would only treat you with courtesy, but never give you my true heart."
