"I can’t take it, Edward Stephens, I really can’t. I’m an adult now, I don’t need you to worry about everything for . I have my own judgnt, I don’t need you to deceive and then make seem unreasonable."
Daisy Ginger slowly lowered her head, her face showing the pain she could no longer bear. She felt sowhat powerless, but more than that, she was sad.
Of course, she loved Edward Stephens. It had been eight years, and all these years, no one else had ever entered her heart aside from this man.
But this love can no longer support their future together.
The trust is already gone.
This wasn’t the first ti...
It wasn’t the first ti he lied to her.
Not every deception can be forgiven, even if there’s a reason.
"Edward, I’m already tired."
Her voice rasped out, each word laden with deep fatigue.
"I can understand you," she raised her head, looked at him, and revealed a helpless smile, "but I can’t forgive you."
"..."
The man fell into a long silence.
His thin and handso face gradually turned expressionless.
Perhaps this outco was unexpected for both of them.
They could still give their lives for each other, yet they could no longer continue being together.
"I’ll leave after you recover," she said softly.
Edward did not speak. He kept his eyes downcast, his long and dense eyelashes casting a bluish shadow on his eyelids.
He looked haggard and heartbroken.
Daisy couldn’t bear to look any longer. She took a deep breath, stood up from the sofa, and walked out of the ward.
"I need to go get so air."
Daisy rose, and Erin imdiately stood up as well, following closely behind Daisy. She glanced at Edward and imdiately grabbed Daisy’s hand, leaving with her.
The ward beca completely silent.
Soundless and void.

Daisy held Erin’s hand as they walked aimlessly through the hospital corridor.
She didn’t really know where to go; she simply did not know what expression to use when facing the man.
Her heart felt empty and hollow, even more so than the loneliness of those past three years.
Her past sadness now seed aningless, for deception held its value, while her suffering was worthless.
She could never be like Edward Stephens. She would always be so emotional, reluctant to let soone she liked suffer any grievance.
Perhaps it’s precisely because of this that her life is so arduous.
Daisy’s footsteps ca to a halt; she squatted down and gently embraced Erin.
"Mommy..."
Erin called out to her, sowhat at a loss.
In the quiet corridor, there was Daisy’s low sobbing.

Evening.
Ryan Smith ca to take her to the Stephens’ residence.
He found Daisy in Edward’s hospital room, seeing the two of them with calm expressions, he thought they had already settled things and was quite happy.
Edward’s last chemotherapy session had ended three months ago, and due to his frail condition, he could only recover in the hospital. All matters, big and small, of the Stephens family were managed by Ryan Smith.
Ryan had to manage affairs for both the Stephens and Smith families while also helping Edward take care of his wife and kids, leaving him extrely busy, but he found the busy life quite comfortable now.
After all, even when he was at leisure before, it was like walking a tightrope in the sky, where a single misstep could cost him his life.
"Then I’ll take them ho first," Ryan said to him, "I’ll bring them back to visit you tomorrow."
He dared not let Daisy stay in that villa anymore; he’d rather let Coco stay there.
