In the following days, Hayden stayed by Freya's side in the hospital without leaving even for a moment.
Freya looked at him several times with complicated expressions.
After all these years of loving Hayden, she couldn't completely ignore him.
Especially Hayden took care of her personally during these days. He even washed her underwear.
How could she not be moved?
So, one evening, she had a candid conversation with Hayden. "You don't have to do all this. I am hurt this time and don't want to be your secret lover anymore."
She continued, "I was a fool in the past. Even when I went from being your official girlfriend to a hidden lover, I still hoped that being with you was enough.
"But after this incident in the water, I've really thought it through. My life doesn't revolve solely around you. I have my parents and loved ones. If I stubbornly continue to make a mess of myself for you, I won't have the face to go back and face them."
Freya took a deep breath and looked at Hayden earnestly.
"Hayden, if you can't marry me or openly be with me, you should let me go."
After listening to her words, Hayden fell silent for a long time before asking Freya. "Let you go, and then what? Watch you get married and have children? And I'll only become a mere bystander in your life?"
His voice was hoarse and hurt, and his eyes were even red with emotion.
"I admit that it will be difficult to love someone else as intensely as I love you, but I can't betray my parents' expectations of me."
Hayden looked at Freya's features and suddenly remembered her parents.
It was during their last summer vacation in college when he accompanied Freya back to her hometown.
He recalled the simple and kind couple, dressed in ordinary and even cheap clothes, with their hands and faces covered in wrinkles.
