Chapter 219

“You’re a fool...” Sarah couldn’t stop crying. She was grateful that there was someone there for her in her most helpless and painful times.

Sarah and Marco spent the night huddled on the wooden bench in this suburban neighborhood. There is no passionate desire, only two long-lost souls warming each other.

Marco talked a lot about how much he had missed her during the last six months, how confused and sad he had been after his grandmother’s death, and how he had even changed his identity card to go to the city to see her. Now his name was Marco Linderman.

Sarah had been listened to him quietly and occasionally asking him several questions, as if they were just a regular lovely couple. When Marco told her that he had changed his name, she was suddenly moved into tears.

Marco was his name, and Linderman was Sarah’s surname. Marco must love her very much to have taken after her surname.

Love without lust was most pure and beautiful. That night, the love between Sarah and Marco had grown unprecedentedly stronger. It was quite a leap for their relationship.

As the dawn brightened, Marco said to Sarah reluctantly, “Come with me, will you? I don’t have much money, but I’ll love you with all my heart and soul. I will make you a very happy girl.”

And that was exactly what John Walter couldn’t give her.

Sarah touched his young and handsome face with a gratified smile, but she shook her head, “Thank you for your love, but I’m afraid I can’t accept it.

It’s true that John Walter isn’t a good man, but there is no denying that he is a very capable and rich man. My brother’s leukemia has deteriorated, and he desperately needs a bone marrow transplant operation now, but no suitable candidate has been found so far, and my bone marrow isn’t suitable for him. His medical expenses are extremely high, and my brother would die without John Walter’s support. So I can’t be so selfish to choose my love over my brother’s life. He’s only 15 years old, and he still has a long life to live. I would save him, even if it will cost me a lifetime of happiness.”

Her life was already such a great tragedy, while her brother Patrick would have a new and healthy life ahead of him as soon as he was cured. She was more than willing to risk her life for her younger brother and her aging parents.

Marco fell silent. Sarah had a point. If her loved ones would suffer because of their selfish love, she would certainly live in remorse and regret for the rest of her life. In that case, how could they be happy together?

He could only blame himself for being unable to help Sarah as a young and useless lover. Born in a mountain almost isolated from the rest of the world, he wasn’t good at anything else, except his strong body and excellent hunting skills. “Well, I could wait until your brother fully recovers and you may come with me with no worries!” He swore with the utmost seriousness.

You must hide your feelings for me in the presence of John Walter. You mustn’t act on impulse, no matter what happens, even if he sleeps with me. I know I’m asking too much. I won’t mind you dating other women. You’re a handsome boy, and there will be many women throwing themselves at you in the future. You’re free to date anyone you like. I won’t blame you, even if you change your mind someday...”

Marco wasn’t happy. He interrupted her before she could finish her sentence, “Sarah, what are you talking about? I won’t date another woman, because you’ve the only one I ever want. Even though I won’t be the only man in your life, I’d like you to be the only woman in my life.”

Sarah was surprised. She stared at him with a melting heart. He wasn’t silly at all. His confession of love was a thousand times more beautiful than anything any man could say.

“I promise, when my brother gets well, you’ll be my only man for the rest of my life.”

“May God punish me if I if I break my promise.” She swore to herself.
