Cora still felt somewhat resistant to his touch. When he hugged her, she almost froze on the spot.
But Byron couldn't bear to let her go and continued softly, "Four years ago, we made terrible mistakes. We thought our choices were for each other's good, but it only led to us being nearly separated by a thin line between life and death."
The four-year gap was the deepest wound in both of their hearts.
Mentioning it again now made Cora's eyes well up with tears.
"I didn't intentionally avoid coming back to find you. The injuries I sustained four years ago were severe. It took me a year to accept the fact that I couldn't stand up and another two years of rehabilitation to finally stand up again...
"I also thought about showing up in front of you despite my broken body, but I couldn't accept it. I was afraid you would look down on me for not being able to stand..."
Byron spoke a lot, repeatedly apologizing for his four-year absence from her life.
Finally, he said, "Now that we have overcome all obstacles and reunited, can we stop tormenting each other? We've wasted four years, and our lives are already halfway through. If we don't accept each other now, we'll grow old..."
Cora's tears fell like a broken dam, and her hands clenched into fists hanging over her sides.
She never expected that his life during these four years would be so difficult.
For sure, how could such a proud person like him accept the reality of not being able to stand?
If he couldn't even accept it himself, how could he appear before her?
And back then, if she hadn't insisted on breaking up, he wouldn't have fought so desperately to protect her.
Time had passed, and fortunately, they had both survived those hardships.
Cora cried like a lost child, her shoulders trembling.
Byron hurriedly pulled her towards him, gently wiping away the tears from her face. "Cora, can you give me another chance?"
Cora made a soft sound, agreeing to his request.
Byron immediately lowered his head and kissed her again.
