Ch.1302 Chapter 1306 - When Love Comes Late

Iâd constantly fear youâd leave me over trivial matters.

With a smile that didnât quite reach her eyes, Miley probed, âHave you resolved things with Susie?â

Neville remained silent, his lips pressed tightly togetherâ-a response in itself.

Miley let out a short, sardonic laugh.

âIf youâre still entangled with her, yet here declaring your affection for me, isnât that duplicitous? Am I just your fallback option?â

Confronted with her blunt questions, Neville seemed frozen, words failing him.

As Miley stood to leave, Neville reached out, pulling her back.

She glanced at him, then looked away.

âI know Iâve hurt you and made mistakes.

Truthfully, after starting our relationship, I was prepared to spend my life with you.

But when I discovered my illness, fear took over.

I was terrified and unsure of how to face you.

I couldnât bear to tell you, nor did I want you burdened with such knowledge.

Miley, I am committed to changing, so you can see and believe in that change,â Neville stated with resolve.

âNeville, you really donât understand me,â Miley responded, her voice soft as she gazed at the expansive black sea.

âItâs not about your s@xual ability that concerns me.

What matters is whether our core values align.

If they do, Iâm willing to go to great lengths for you.

But if not, I wonât hesitate to leave.

Neville pondered for a few moments before looking up at her.

âI understand.

Our relationship began hastily and ended just as quickly.

But Iâm dedicated to changing, to show you a different side of me, in hopes youâll accept me once more.

Miley observed Nevilleâs earnest efforts to convey his determination, his face a mix of calm and agitation.

She bit her lip and chose to remain silent.

They sat together in silence for some time, the quietness unbroken.

Stealing glances at Mileyâs profile, Neville felt a nostalgic pull to the times when their relationship flourished.

Eventually, Miley said softly, âItâs getting late.

We should head back.

Neville turned to her, seeking closure.

âYou havenât given me your answer.

Miley averted her gaze, murmuring, âMy answer is contingent on your actions.

The journey back was less tense for Neville, a weight seemingly lifted off his shoulders.

After ensuring Miley was safely home, Neville returned to his own place.

There, he found a message from Matthew awaiting him.

âIâve reached out to an expert abroad, Benjamin Kennedy.

Heâs responded to the email.

Thereâs still hope.

You should visit his clinic later.

Reading this, Neville exhaled deeply, comforted by the renewed sense of hope.

After responding to Nevilleâs email, Matthew set his phone down, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and massaged his forehead.

He had been overwhelmed lately and felt exhausted.
