I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 605

"Okay." Sienna smiled, her eyes curving with warmth.

Finn finished his sentence.

He lay back down on the bed.

Staring at the ceiling, the warm yellow light cascaded into his eyes, illuminating a faint, almost imperceptible tremor deep within his pupils.

He remained quiet for a few seconds before speaking again.

"It feels like there's something inside me, making me different from everyone else. I want to defeat it." He paused, his gaze filled with sheer stubbornness. "I can only get better if I beat it. But I can't just wait around for it to disappear on its own. I have to take the initiative."

He looked at her, emphasizing every single word. "I want to be your real husband. We'll team up and defeat it together."

Tears instantly sprang to Sienna's eyes.

She held Finn's hand, pressing it against her cheek.

She could feel the burning heat radiating from his palm.

"Okay. You're not alone. It's the two of us."

Finn didn't pull his hand away.

He kept his gaze fixed upward.

"I think I can feel a little bit of it."

"Feel what?" Sienna asked.

"Your happiness. I can feel a sliver of it. When you're happy, it's like I get happy too."

Tears streamed down Sienna's face.

She found it completely unbelievable.

Patients with Asperger's syndrome were typically unable to process or feel the emotions of others.

Yet Finn had just told her that he could sense her happiness.

Sienna felt that nothing in the world could make her happier or fill her with more hope than this exact moment.

She even believed that out of all the romantic things Finn had ever said to her in the past, none of them hit her as powerfully as what he'd just said today.

"We're getting our marriage license tomorrow," Finn announced.

"Okay."

Sienna lay back down, intertwining her fingers with his.

That night, Sienna fell into a deep sleep, but Finn remained wide awake.

His fingers were still locked with hers, palm to palm.

He could feel the rhythm of her breathing—even, steady, like a quiet, comforting lamp glowing in the dark.

Sienna noticed that Finn had changed into a brand-new shirt today; the collar was crisp, and the cuffs were perfectly buttoned.

On the way to City Hall, Finn kept staring at his phone.

Sienna caught a glimpse out of the corner of her eye. Displayed on the screen was a list titled "Marriage Registration Procedures." Below it were over a dozen bullet points, each annotated with specific timeframes and priority levels.

"When did you look this up?" she asked in disbelief.

"Last night. After you fell asleep." Finn locked his screen. "There are seven steps in total. Photos, forms, signatures, vows, and the license. I've already run a simulation in my head twice."

Sienna's first thought was that this wasn't something that needed simulating, but she wasn't about to ruin the mood.

She nodded.

"I'm really touched by how much effort you're putting into this. It shows how much you care about us making this official."

"Touched. Care," Finn muttered to himself.

Sienna truly was touched.

Getting legally married was a monumental milestone in life.

After Finn had returned in his current condition, she had honestly believed this milestone might be postponed indefinitely.

But now, not only was it back on the schedule...
