Billionaire's Match (by Tangy Candy) novel Chapter 1211

No matter how well Michael had hidden it, he had never been able to keep the despair out of his eyes. But now, things were different. His eyes held the gentleness and clarity she loved most.

"Winnie, I love you so much. Even when I had given up on myself, I still couldn't bear to lose you." Michael took her hand, every word clear and resolute.

"When you fainted, I only had one thought. As long as we're still together and safe, I have to cherish every single day from now on."

"Michael, you've finally come back to life. That's the right way to think..." Winnie grew emotional, and her voice choked up.

"And what happened to Noah made me realize even more how wrong I was..."

Michael paused, and his eyes darkened again.

"He didn't have the background we had, and he suffered more than his share along the way. But even after losing everything, even knowing fate would never be kind to him, he never gave up...

"Maybe because he could love others like that, he no longer had to hate himself for his flaws."

Winnie felt a sharp pang in her chest. She knew Noah had died largely for Michael's sake.

Michael's grief ran no less deep than Charlotte's.

"Life is hard, and it's unpredictable. No one can escape that. Please don't be too sad..."

Winnie knew comfort was useless, so she hugged him again, hoping to give him some warmth.

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine now." Michael smiled faintly and gently stroked her hair.

"When I said I figured it out, this is what I meant. Since everything ends someday, we should do everything we can while we still have the chance. Pain or happiness, we should face all of it without running away, not even for a moment."

Sorrow and joy welled up in Winnie at once. She cupped his gaunt cheeks in her hands and nodded hard.

"Now that's the Michael Morrison I know. From now on, pain or happiness, we'll face it all together."
