Angeline was stunned.
Then, tears welled up in her eyes. "Jaybie..."
Jay said, "I know you don’t wish for this, Angeline, but this is really serious..." Jay had prepared a lengthy speech to persuade Angeline.
Angeline was a person who put the greater good above anything else. Even though she was filled with grief, she held back her sorrows and nodded firmly.

Jay was relieved to have Angeline's support. Though immediately after that, the thought of the farewell that was soon to come left his heart hollow as regret overwhelmed him.

Jay let out a wry smile. "Looks like I’ve spoiled her.”
After mulling it over, he continued, "Angeline, let's hire a few caretakers and get them to accompany Angel to bed so you can sleep peacefully.”
