"Your father and I don't expect anything. We just hope that you can be happy. Now that your father is ill, we won't have any other problems when the operation is over." After saying this, Lucy was also a little moved. "Your father has to get better as soon as possible, or he won't be able to attend your wedding in time."
This sentence was equivalent to permitting Huston to marry their beloved daughter. He was very grateful to Lucy for her tolerance of his current situation and some bad things in the past.
He immediately promised her solemnly, "Don't worry, Aunt Lucy. I won't let Evelyn down."
Lucy turned around and secretly wiped away her tears. Her tears turned into a smile. "That's good, that's good!"

After putting on the cotton pajamas, Evelyn opened the bathroom door a little. At first, she just wanted to reach out her hand, but she suddenly saw the deep and shallow scars on his back.
Some of them were dark in color, some were shallow, and they were formed at different times. At first glance, one could tell that they were new and old wounds stacked on each other. It seemed that these injuries had to be repeated on his body every day. His originally strong shoulders and muscles had disappeared, and even his scapula had slightly bulged, which was a little shocking.
He had always had a high requirement for his figure. Even when she first met him, this man could get up at six o'clock every morning and exercise every morning.
It was hard to imagine that such a badly injured body would belong to Huston.
Evelyn was so shocked that she gasped subconsciously. "Oh, my god..."
