The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 1547

Chapter 1547
Silas understood and weakly raised the corners of his pale lips. “It’s my fault for dragging her down.”
Edith shook her head. “That’s not what I mean. What I mean is if you really care about her, then live well for her sake. Your legs and depression are the things that make her feel guilty. If you heal your leg, stand up again, and overcome your depression, once you recover, she will be able to let go…”
Silas turned his head and looked through the living room corridor at Taya sitting on the sofa, obediently drinking coffee. Soft light streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a golden glow on her.
It was like the first time he saw her and felt his heart sk ip a beat. She was always sweet and quiet, like a clear stream flowing in his heart…
From pup period to adulthood, she was gentle and kind to
everyone, sometimes overly obedient. To what extent? As long as someone liked her, she would like them back, and she would even
give everything for that liking.
She lacked love, but she knew how to be grateful. If it weren’t for
her sense of duty and compassion, how could she forgive him
after all the pain she had suffered? It’s just that he came too late,
otherwise, with her kindness, he could still have her again.
How could such a gentle person not feel self-blame for him? Even if his disabilities and depression were not caused by her, she would still shoulder everything because of their past friendship. It was his insistence on delving into the past that kept her living in guilt.
Sila s’s gaze slowly lowered to his own legs. It was because of her guilt that she had asked Griffon to find an expert to treat his legs, but he didn’t want to be treated because of his depression. Did that mean she wouldn’t find peace until he stood up?
Edith didn’t know what he was thinking. She let go of the high-heeled shoe that was blocking the wheel and sat up straight. “We come to this world to experience the ups and downs of life, love and hate, and there’s no obstacle we can’t overcome. Just think of yourself as someone on a quest.”
“If you reach the success, and when you met again in the future, you can smile at each other. If you fail, then Taya will have to be trapped with you in your past, one in pain and one in guilt, living like that forever. So, which one will you choose? If you choose the former, I’ll stay and help you. If you choose the latter, I’ll leave now. Which one do you choose?”
Edith handed the decision over to Silas, but what she didn’t
know was that he had already chosen the former for Taya’s sake.
“You’re not an expert on depression, nor a therapist, and definitely not a doctor for legs. What can you do if you stay?”
