"Mr. Thomas, I…" Sarah didn't know how to answer. She had only just made up her mind that she wouldn't be with Charles any longer. However, to her surprise, Mr. Thomas was now trying to persuade her to accept Charles. Sarah could feel her head spinning as she tried to make sense of it all.
Mr. Thomas smiled and said, "Sarah, don't you love my son?"
Sarah didn't know what to say, so she looked down, embarrassed. She didn't know how to express her love for Charles in front of his father.
"Sarah, I can assure you that my son loves you. I can protect you from any upset that may come of your relationship. Now it's all up to you. You've seen Charles up there in the hospital. Surely you can tell how much he loves you?"
Emma had said that Charles loved her, and now Mr. Thomas had told her that Charles had even admitted it to him. Sarah thought for a moment and asked herself, what could she now possibly be worried about? Was it because she no longer loved him? She felt that things were actually starting to work out for her. Before, there had been so many obstacles that let her think she and Charles were impossible. However, suddenly an unexpected turn had made everything better for them. Sarah was suddenly overwhelmed with a feeling of happiness and struggled to determine whether what was happening was actually real or not.
After a long time, Mr. Thomas couldn't wait for Sarah's answer any longer and said, "Don't you love Charles? Alas, if the answer is yes, we need to tell him immediately!"
Hearing his words, Sarah looked at him and hurriedly said, "Mr. Thomas, no, I…" She dared not say she loved him so easily, or it would be just another thoughtless collection of words. Love was sacred, so how could it be so easy to express? Thus, she answered, "I care about him. Everything seems to change, so suddenly I find it difficult to place my emotions accurately."
Listening to her words, Mr. Thomas smiled again, "So, you are willing to be with my son?"
