Carolien's thoughts had not yet been sorted out, but a drifting voice came from her side. "I specially built it for the sake of the deceased myself and the lost love!"
"Wh-what?"
When they turned their heads at the same time, Carolien and Elijah were both stunned. What did he mean?
"Carolien, Guillermo, no, I, never had a second uncle. Don't you know?" Carolien and Elijah were stunned at the same time, and their eyes unconsciously fell on his face.
Guillermo's face was very old. In fact, he didn't look like an old man in his 40s or 50s. She couldn't tell what it was, but she had a strange feeling, but it was not so abrupt and difficult to distinguish.
"Second Uncle? Do you mean..." He was Guillermo?
The two people's faces might be similar, but at this time, the man in front of him really couldn't see the shadow of Guillermo at all. He was really old. No, if there was, it was the shape of his body. His body was very tall and straight, unlike the old man's hunchbacked and slow body.
Subconsciously shaking her head, Carolien reached out to touch his face. After all, she could understand why an old lady would pretend to be a little girl if she didn't accept it. How could a good young man pretend to be an old man?
Before Carolien's hand could touch him, Theo had already taken off the scarf wrapped around his collar. At the same time, he took off the gloves. As soon as he pulled the collar, half of his chest, which was connected to his smooth and strong skin, with the signs of aging, entered her sight. There was also a slender and familiar palm. When she looked up, Carolien's eyes instantly turned red.
No wonder he wore gloves all year round!
She had asked him before, and he always said that he had to protect his hands which performed delicate surgery, just like playing the piano. In order to protect his hands, he had developed the habit of wearing gloves all year round.
It turned out that his hands and face were in two completely different states!
And the lower part of his neck and the lower part of his skin was actually young!
Why?
How could this be?
Carolien's lips trembled, and her eyes were full of tears. Memories of the past came to her mind. She suddenly understood why when she had gone to find him when she had not contacted him for many years, an elder who had never seen her was willing to spare no effort to help him. It turned out that this so-called second uncle was Guillermo himself.
"He has been by my side, guarding me, and helping me?"
Carolien couldn't say anything, but she couldn't hold back her excitement.
Guillermo slowly let go of his hand and closed his eyes sadly.
"Carolien, I didn't want to break up with you. I didn't want to leave you when you needed me the most. I don't mind that your family is involved in the background of the nightclub. I don't care about other people's views on this, and I'm not afraid to raise a young brother with you. Even if you take a son with you, it won't reduce my love for you! But I care about my old illness, the sudden change of my aging overnight, and the fact that I can affect your normal life and company. I'm also a normal person. I'm also shocked by these changes. I can't accept it. I'm in so much pain that I don't even dare to face my family. I'm seeking medical treatment all over the world, but I didn't expect that this is an exception and incurable disease in the world. I don't want to give up on you, but I have to—"
The past was unbearable to recall. When he thought of the past, Guillermo seemed to have gone through several eras. He couldn't believe that all this happened to him, who was once successful and high-spirited. Since he was a child, he had been top-notch. Even if he was not a school hunk, he was at least a hunk. His family was good, his conditions were good, and his studies were not bad. He also had a beautiful and lovely girlfriend. Everything was supposed to be perfect, but it was a bolt from the blue. At that time, he really wanted to die.
Over the years, he had suffered a lot for this disease. Even after the subsequent plastic surgery, he had been in pain again and again. However, the physical pain was far less than the psychological destruction and injury. He had not taken a look at himself in the mirror for many years. After putting on his clothes, he habitually checked on a tea-colored glass, afraid that he would see his own appearance.
Even after several plastic surgery repair and resetting his heart, he was still not used to his ugly face.
Although he did plastic surgery himself, and there were many cases of successful plastic surgery, and he was also a successful example, from his point of view, he could still find a lot of artificial traces. No matter how perfect his appearance was, it was inevitable that he would be stiff and rigid. What's more, life, death, illness, and aging were irreversible!
"A man in his thirties has a face of a 60 or 70 year old. It's like an old man in his thirties pretending to be a young man shamelessly. How can I not be laughed at? But I really am in my thirties! No matter what, I have to accept the reality that I can't change. Theo is the other identity I chose when I had no choice but to go back to the public and tell you my name!"
"From beginning to end, you are the only woman I love in my heart! Carolien, I have never fallen in love with anyone else, no other woman... It's not that I don't want to be with you, but I can't be with you! If you hadn't come to me and asked me for help that day, maybe we would be two parallel lines in this life. I won't look for you, I won't disturb you. Maybe one day I met you on the street, at most I would look at you from a distance! But sometimes fate is so strange! Back then, I didn't want to let you go, but I had to give up. Today, I never thought that there was still hope, but God gave me a chance!"
