My Beloved Has Risen from Death's Embrace novel Chapter 460

“When I was four years old, I met a boy who was smart, shy, and incredibly attentive. He wasn't much for playing with others, except for me.

He could sense my every mood, remembered all the things I loved - I adored him for it.

We grew up as childhood sweethearts, sharing a bond so special and joyful. I thought it would always be like this, but then, a sudden fever made me forget him.

Not just forget, but I wronged and mistook him, and that mistake lasted for over a decade.

I thought he had faded from my life, forgetting everything just as I had. Until a few days ago, I realized he’s always been there, silently watching over me, present in every phase of my life."

Tears welled up in Xanthea's eyes as she spoke, her voice choked with emotion.

"He's been my guardian for so many years. Now, it's my turn to protect and love him for the rest of our lives.

I once made a whimsical wish that if anyone could plant a mountain full of irises for me, I would marry him. And he did it."

Xanthea held out an iris, "Orion, the mountain is blooming with irises; will you marry me?"

The large venue fell into a silence so profound you could hear a pin drop, the live chat went quiet.

Then, an uproar of cheers and applause!

[Xanthea is proposing to Mr. Lockwood?]

[Ah, it's so romantic! The proposal, the setting, the story, it's all so touching!]
