Chapter 531 The Ring Is Yours Now
Finn carried Lilia in his arms and slowly walked in the direction of the helicopter unsteadily.
He was in poor health, and he walked with difficulty. However, he still held his beloved woman carefully.
He struggled, but he was also very devout.
The helicopter was only a few steps away, yet for him, the distance was particularly long.
He staggered halfway and almost fell.
“Mr. Orwell!” Gerald couldn’t bear to look anymore and wanted to go over and help.
Finn glanced at Gerald and shook his head firmly, implying that Gerald’s help was not needed.
Gerald understood and could only stand in situ, looking worried as he followed them.
Fortunately, Finn safely carried Lilia to the helicopter at last. As if holding a treasure, he carefully placed Lilia on the soft seat.
He carefully buckled her seatbelt and covered her with a soft wool blanket.
After that, he lowered his head and left a kiss on Lilia’s forehead affectionately.
He was very reluctant to stop the kiss.
Brandon got in the helicopter and saw the scene. He coughed with a bit of embarrassment.
“Mr. Orwell, the captain would like to know the departure time.”
Finn was silent. He looked deeply at the unconscious Lilia and then said, “Now.”
“Then I’ll go and inform him to get ready to take off,” Brandon said. “Are you going with her?”
Finn shook his head and forced himself to look away from Lilia. “She’ll go herself.”
After that, he strode to the hatch.
Halfway through, he stopped and turned back. He took out an exquisite ring box from his pocket and opened it. Inside was an exquisitely cut diamond ring.
He took out the ring and carefully picked up Lilia’s slender fingers.
Seeing that he was about to put the ring on her fingers, Brandon kindly reminded him, “You left her a diamond ring. Are you still expecting her to let go?”
Finn paused. Then he smiled bitterly, “You are right. It’s not the time to give her the ring.
“Forget it.” Finn closed the ring box and squeezed it tightly as he walked out.
He walked to the cabin while squeezing the ring box. Then he raised and swung his arm. It looked like he was about to toss the ring away, yet he just couldn’t.
It was the ring he had carefully selected and wanted to personally put on Lilia’s finger on their wedding day.
It carried all the beautiful dreams they had for the future.
But now, everything was gone. Nothing was left. Dreams became illusions.
Finally, Finn stuffed the ring together with the box into Brandon’s hand.
“The ring is yours now.”
“It’s yours. What am I supposed to do with it?” asked Brandon, holding the ring box with a troubled expression.
“You may give it to Ms. Thompson. It’s quite costly. Throwing it away would be a shame.”
Finn was never short of money since he was a kid. Of course, a ring meant nothing to him.
What he couldn’t let go of was the sentimental meaning the ring carried.
Brandon was generous enough to take the ring box over. “I’ll hold it for you for now. You shall have it back when there’s a chance.”
“I don’t think there will ever be such a chance. Give it to her later on my behalf.
It was for her in the first place,” Finn smiled bitterly.
Brandon nodded. He didn’t say anything, yet he felt sorry for Finn and Lilia, the pitiful couple.
