Chapter 1

Author: Nightless Peace
"Why can't my mother use these medical resources? No one else is using them right now!" Lily rushed to the hospital's executive floor and glared at Ninian.

"The equipment is free at certain times only." Ninian sat in her chair and checked her watch. "It's free tomorrow. You can drop by tomorrow."

Lily stared at her in disbelief. "What did you say? My mother is in critical condition! She can't wait until tomorrow!"

"Those are the rules. Why do others have to wait but you can't? Are you trying to get special treatment just because you're Shaun's wife? You rich people are so shameless," Ninian said coolly.

Lily's hands trembled.

Thinking of her mother lying in the hospital bed, barely clinging to life, she swallowed all her hurt and humiliation. "What will it take for you to let my mother use them?"

"I told you. Just come here tomorrow. Security, drag her out!" Ninian snapped.

The security guards grabbed Lily's arms, but she kept fighting back. She yelled in a choked voice, "It's just one day! I can pay you double. My mother's about to die!"

But Ninian refused to budge. The doctor standing nearby did not dare say anything. As she stared at these people, Lily clenched her fists in anger.

When she saw Shaun walking toward her, hope rose in her heart once again. "Shaun, my mother's dying, but they refuse to treat her! Tell them to save her!"

Breaking free from the guards, she ran toward Shaun in tears.

Upon seeing her tearful, swollen eyes, pity flashed in Shaun's eyes for a moment.

"Shaun, are you going to break the rules? You're the one who told me that these things were mine to manage." Ninian shot to her feet.

"But Lily's mother…"

"If other people can wait, why can't she? Is this how you rich people do things? If that's the case, I won't be managing the equipment anymore. I'd rather go back to the mountains. Just pretend that I never saved you."

Ninian tossed the documents in her hands with a huff.

Shaun immediately let go of Lily and rushed over to Ninian. "Why are you mad? Did I say I was going to interfere?"

Those words made Lily's face turn pale, and she had to lean against the wall because she could no longer support herself. "What are you saying? Shaun, that's your mother-in-law!

"How could you not save her?! She's in critical condition! She can't wait!"

Tears blurred her vision, but even so, she could see Shaun comforting Ninian.

It was December, and a bone-deep chill crept up from the soles of her feet until it consumed her entire body.

"Lily, she can hang on for another day. I'll get the best doctors to watch over her. These are Ninian's rules. Just come here tomorrow. Be good now."

Her ears rang.

At that moment, she felt like she could no longer hear the sounds from the world around her. The pain in her chest spread little by little through her entire body, and blood welled in her mouth.

    Lewis lowered his head, at a loss for words.Then, he looked up and met Lily's eyes. ”Could you… not leave?”Lily was amused by his reaction, and she smiled. ”Do you like me, Lewis?””Yes! I like you a lot. I've liked you ever since I saved you. I like your resilience, your kindness, and your courage. ”But I never had the courage to tell you how I felt. I was afraid that if I confessed, you'd leave me, and we wouldn't even be able to remain friends.”Lily stared into his eyes. ”Lewis, you're a good person. We've spent so much time together these past few days. When I fell into that hole yesterday, you were the first person I thought of. I think I like you too.”The dejection in Lewis's eyes vanished.He hugged Lily tightly, as though she were the most precious treasure in the world.They were just one door apart. One man was delighted, while the other was devastated. After the accident, Shaun decided to leave and return to the country. Before he left, he went to visit Li

    ”He went back,” Lewis said hesitantly. ”Don't lie to me, Lewis. I know that he saved me.”Lily heard everything in her semi-unconscious state. Lewis did not hide it from her.After taking her to the hospital, he immediately joined the others in returning to rescue Shaun.By then, Shaun was heavily injured and was lying in a pool of his own blood.He had been sent to the emergency room. After more than ten hours, Shaun was finally out of danger. However, he had not woken up. The doctor had warned them that he might never wake up if he remained trapped in his unconscious state for too long. Lily's heart sank. ”Let me see him.”This time, when she met him, she held no love for him, only gratitude. She could no longer accept Shaun in her life, but she was not going to forget the fact that he saved her. When Lily walked into his ward, Shaun was still unconscious. He had an oxygen mask on, and his pale face was pale and completely drained of color. ”Aren't you supposed

    Shaun had no way to carry her out by himself.”Somebody, help!”At that moment, he heard a familiar voice calling out for Lily. ”We're here! Down here!”Someone suddenly appeared at the edge of the hole. It was Lewis.”Lily fainted! Get her out of here! Take her somewhere safe!””What about you?”Shaun could feel the pain in his ankle. ”I don't think I can get out, but I don't want anything happening to Lily.”With the last bit of his strength, he lifted Lily, and Lewis grabbed her. The rain grew even heavier, and Shaun felt himself grow weaker. He had only just recovered from his fever, but he did not think he could make it this time. ”Shaun!”Lewis was not in a hurry to leave. ”We'll leave together. I'll get both of you out.”Rainwater trickled down Shaun's face, and a drop rested on the tip of his nose. He gave Lewis a bitter smile and shook his head. ”I can hang on for a little longer. Leave with her first. Lily doesn't seem to be in good condition. ”I did plen

    Shaun stayed in the disaster prevention center. He went door to door to deliver supplies. Whenever he reached Lily's house, he would light up a cigarette and stand outside for a long time. He had not seen her over the past few days, but it was enough for him just to be able to see her from a distance. The typhoon arrived two days later than predicted, descending upon Pravance without warning on what had been an otherwise peaceful day.Everyone hurried back inside their homes to avoid the disaster. Shaun stared at the dark sky. The rain grew heavier by the second. Within moments, the downpour became so dense that it looked as though countless threads stretched from the heavens to the earth.All he could think about was Lily.Would Lily be scared because of the horrible weather?She had always been timid. He remembered how, in the past, even the rumble of thunder was enough to make her hide in his arms, covering her ears as she clung to him. But it had been a long time sinc

    Standing behind her was his eighteen-year-old self. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and looking at her with pity.”Don't forgive him. Just keep moving forward.”When Shaun's fever broke, he felt lighter, but the fleeting dream had affected him greatly.He simply could not let Lily go. He did not want to lose her, even if she already had someone new by her side and no longer loved him.All he wanted was just for her to be beside him again. At that moment, he came to a stark realization.Lily had hated Ninian the most. If he made everything clear to her, she would definitely have a change of heart. He refused to believe that she had really married that man.Shaun returned to the fragrance shop and saw Lily taking a nap in her chair, even though she was usually busy.The wind blew through her hair, and the sunlight made her side profile look even gentler.Shaun's heart skipped a beat. The wind chimes woke her up. When she saw him, she frowned. ”Have I not made myself cle

    ”What the hell are you doing?!”Lewis lifted his fist. ”Hit you! Didn't I tell you to stop bothering her? You're the one who drove her away. How do you have the nerve to make her life difficult again?!”Shaun did not back down this time. He threw himself into a fight with Lewis. They hit each other. Since they were about similar height and size, they were tied.”What are you doing?!” Lily shouted, and the two men stopped fighting momentarily.Shaun looked up and saw Lily's familiar face. ”Lily…””Let go of Lewis!” Her angry voice made Shaun stop. A part of Lewis' face was swollen, but he shielded Lily with resolve. ”Don't touch her. Don't harass her again, or I'll beat you up the moment you appear here.”Shaun gritted his teeth. ”Who the hell do you think you are?!””Mr. Stone, I don't think you have the right to ask that here,” said Lily. ”I told you to leave me alone, but you keep harassing me. I don't want anything from you. ”Your love is worth nothing anymore. We'r
