Chapter 1394
Jeremy was the same way. If it wasnât for his grandma nagging him every day, heâd almost forget he was already hitched. He reached out and took her hand, âThanks for sticking with me. Thanks for giving me another shot.
Cornelia said, âNot a second chance, but the third.â
Jeremy was like. âHuh?â
Cornelia said, âincluding this one, itâs the third and the last. If you bail on me again, I wonât forgive you.â
He tightened his grip on her hand, I wonât leave you again.â
Cornelia said, âLets pinky swear.â
He said âThatâs so childish.â But he still reached out and made the pact with her.
She said, âI m full, you should go restâ
But Jeremy didnt budge. Cornelia asked, Is there something you want to say?â
Jeremy suddenly blurted out, âCornelia, I like you. I really like youâ
His sudden confession made Cornelia blush, âI know. Iâve always knownâ
If he didnt like her, why would he try so hard to push her away? He definitely wouldnât drag his sick body to be by her side, clumsily staying with her. She knew all of this. So she couldnât even bring herself to be mad at him. She took the initiative to patch things up, even suggesting they remarry.
Once before, she had lost too many loved ones, she knew the world was full of surprises. No one knew what tomorrow would look like. So she wanted t love the people around her infinitely in the limited time she had.
Jeremy said, âThanks for understanding me. Thanks for forgiving me. Thanks for still wanting to be with me.â
Cornelia raised her hand to cover his mouth, âNo more thank yousâ
Jeremy replied, âOkayâ
Cornelia said, âNow go rest and take care of yourself.â
Instead of leaving, Jeremy reached out and wrapped his arm around her, âI want to spend more time with you and our childâ
Cornelia buried her head in his chest, âI want you to be with us too, but you need to rest first, so you can recover faster. Once youâre better, we can be together as a family
Jeremy didnât say anything: he just looked at her with puppy dog eyes. Cornelia was so moved, she couldnât resist. The room they were in was specially prepared for her by Jeremy, and the bed was huge, not those tiny hospital beds. Cornelia shifted a bit to make some room, âFine, you can lay next to me Jeremy pushed the food cart away, rolled onto the bed, laying next to Cornelia, This is so goodâ
It really was good. He could lay next to her again Sleeping in the same bed with her again.
Cornelia said, âYou should sleep.â
Jeremy held her hand, tightly gripping it, âOkayâ
Cornelia wanted to say something else, but when she turned her head, she found him already asleep. Little did Cornelia know, ever since she left him, for almost a year, he hadnât had a good nightâs sleep. Either he was tormented by illness and couldnât sleep, or he missed her so much that he couldnât sleep
