The moment Finn realized the answers to these questions, he wanted to give himself a massive slap in the face. How could he have been so stupid? How could he have hurt Baby Zetty again?
He abruptly turned around and dashed toward Baby Zetty once more.
At this moment, Baby Zetty was sitting on the ground dejectedly. Her gray hair appeared as white as snow now, and she had aged rapidly in a split second.
Baby Zetty sat there while tears quietly streamed down her face.
She was utterly helpless and had given up all hope.
Seeing Baby Zetty rapidly aging before his eyes, Finn felt a strong sense of self-abasing in his heart. He staggered toward her and slowly squatted down.
Then, he tenderly hugged Baby Zetty into his arms.
Baby Zetty looked up, and when she saw Finn, she pushed him away in resistance.
However, Finn was holding onto her too tightly, so tightly that she simply could not escape his embrace.
Baby Zetty could only weep out sorrowfully.
Finn murmured, "I missed an opportunity with you
once, but I won't miss it again in my lifetime. I used to feel inferior and despised myself for being older. I feared that you'd despise me when you grew up. Now, the heavens are telling me that if you truly love the other person, you wouldn't come to dislike them due t o their old age. You’ll continue to love them dearly.
"Zetty, give me another chance. Let me stay by your side, okay?"
Baby Zetty desperately shook her head. "I'm not her. You got it all wrong."
Finn said, "I know that you're my Baby Zetty. Don't be upset, Zetty. We’ll find a way to cure your disease."
Baby Zetty knew how old she was getting by now. She even started having the desire to die. She refused to expose her weakest moment to the people she cared about the most. There was only one thought in mind, and that was to continuously deny her identity.
Hence, she said, "I told you that I'm not your Baby Zetty."
