His broad shoulders trembled slightly. She didn't need to look to know that he was crying.
They had been together for so many years, and the number of times Evelyn had seen him cry could be counted on one hand. However, during the period when Sir. Lloyd was ill, his eyes had turned red.
Blood was thicker than water. He heard these things, moreover wanted to send away a loved one. Just how cruel of a thing this was.
The night wind blew in from outside the window, blowing the hair on his forehead. Evelyn stood there and watched. Neither of them spoke, and he didn't even look back, but she could feel the overwhelming sadness.
She wanted to give him space to calm down. She restrained herself and endured it. She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, leaving marks on them. But she didn't care about them.
She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to hold the man who had fallen into sadness in her arms.
She put her hands tightly on his waist, and her side face was pressed against the cold fabric of his clothes. She clung to his body so that he could hear her heartbeat at the moment.
"I will always be with you."
She didn't know where her courage came from. She said that she would never leave him, but she had such an idea. No matter who came or went into this world, she would always be with him.
"A lifetime is too long..." The man's voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be filled with infinite sadness. "I have no way to keep him, no..."
Hearing this, Evelyn's heart ached. "Everyone is seeking death. Huston, you can't decide anyone's life and death, including yourself. The only thing we can do is cherish every minute and second in front of us."
