Algerone and Belinda were also among the guests, fortunate to witness this heartwarming and everlasting scene. They couldn't help but imagine the scene when Monica would get married.
She would don the most beautiful wedding gown and marry the man who loved her dearly.
They didn't know when they planned to get married, and thinking about it brought a sense of anticipation and a tinge of reluctance. Such is the feeling of being parents, always experiencing mixed emotions.
They smiled and applauded, their faces filled with well-wishes.
Among the elegantly dressed guests, there was a girl with brown curly hair. She had a tall figure and fair skin. Her adoring gaze was fixated on King Louis.
From the moment he walked towards the bride, taking her hand, until now, his gaze never wavered.
She was the only guest who didn't applaud, just wearing a faint smile, watching him throughout.
"You see, Winnie..." the woman beside her noticed her daughter's expression and lightly nudged her husband with her elbow.
The middle-aged man in formal attire followed his wife's gaze and saw the long-lost smile on his daughter's face.
Winnie had been suffering from depression for two years. Her condition fluctuated, and she had made several suicide attempts, which terrified her parents. These past years, it had been rare to see her smile.
She seemed disinterested in everything.
But now... she was smiling.
She was doing well today. Following her daughter's gaze, General Wind's eyes landed on King Louis.
The general's heart skipped a beat!
The king had a slender figure, a face like a painting, and indeed possessed a captivating charm and striking good looks. Not only was he young, wealthy, and held significant power, but he was also a talented doctor.
There had been rumors before that many girls in the royal family liked him. Could it be that Winnie... also liked him?
When General Wind looked at his daughter again, he saw her radiant with joy. His old father's heart skipped a beat, followed by a glimmer of hope.
