'You still have me!' Jim thought to himself.
"Morning pepper, you have Aunt Qi, Jade and Essie. They are your relatives and friends. You also have..." After a pause, he continued, "Maybe there is an angel in your belly. Didn't you give yourself to Vinton? Fortunately, a little life has begun to create. You have to live well for it and for Vinton."
Tears welled up in Eva's eyes when she heard this. How she wished she could hand herself over to Vinton and have a baby in her body.
But she failed. It was destroyed by the damn sea and the damn tsunami.
It was all her fault. If she had made this decision earlier, she would have left a child for their love. Even if the sea really took away her little Vinton, his life could continue and they could have a dream.
"Damn the sea. Why didn't it take me away instead?" She burst into tears.
"Because Vinton wants you to live, and you should believe that he is still alive. Even if he really died, he wouldn't feel at ease in heaven to see you suffer like this." Jim wiped away the tears on her cheeks. She felt pain, and so did he.
Looking out of the window at the confused sky, Eva felt grey in her heart, unable to feel hope and light.
After searching for two months, there was no result, and Vinton's chances of survival were very slim.
Everyone was in despair.
Baron took his men back to Dragon City, leaving his men to continue searching for his son. Even if he was really killed, he still hoped to find his body and take him home.
Eva was in despair, like a rose without sunshine, water and nourishment, slowly withered and withered.
She watched the wedding photos of her and Vinton and the video of their sweet life every day. She couldn't fall asleep, so she had to rely on sleeping pills to barely fall asleep.
"Father Xu, don't cancel the wedding. I want to marry Vinton. Even if he is in heaven, I want to be his wife," she looked at Baron and said firmly and stubbornly.
"Eva, you are still young. Forget about Vinton. Start over your new life!" Baron said seriously.
"I've made up my mind. Please accept me." Eva begged, "This is my wish, and also Vinton's."
Baron fell into silence.
In June, a special wedding was held on the beach of Palm Island.
Wearing a white wedding dress, Eva slowly walked to the priest with roses in her hands.
Holding the wedding dress, Mili and Dot walked behind her.
Rabi held the wedding bouquet in his arms.
The three of them lowered their heads with red eyes.
The bridegroom was just a photo.
"Mr. Vinton Xu, Miss Eva Fang, now I declare that you are a couple. No matter whether it's natural disaster or life or death, your love can't be stopped. God bless you," the priest said in a low voice.
Eva stretched out her hand and gently stroked the handsome face in the photo. She seemed to still feel his warmth.
"We are finally married, Vinton. From now on, you are my husband and I am your wife. Even God can't separate us."
Essie couldn't help but cover her face and cry.
Zac hugged her and said, "She will move on."
"Eva is so pitiful. How could such a thing happen? God is so cruel." Janice wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, "She loves Vinton so much. I really hope that Vinton can live and come back early to reunite with her."
Jim kept silent all the time. The only thing he wanted to do now was to protect her and cheer her up.
After the wedding, Jim went to Eva's room and found that she was not there. He was afraid that something bad would happen to her, so he quickly went out to look for her.
On the rock bank, on a huge reef, a thin figure was sitting still, like a puppet.
"Heaven pepper!" Jim rushed over quickly, fearing that she would commit suicide for love.
She turned her head and forced a bitter smile at him. "The sea is connected, isn't it?"
Jim grabbed her shoulder and said, "Don't do stupid things. I don't allow you to do stupid things. Live well."
Eva picked up a small stone and threw it into the sea. "I won't commit suicide. When the tsunami came, Vinton left his only life-saving jacket to me. He said that I must live, live well. I don't want to let him down and make him sad."
She paused and looked at the junction of the sea and the sky in the distance. "Vinton lives in my heart and in my mind. As long as my heart is still beating, my brain can still rotate. Vinton hasn't disappeared. I have him in my life, and he also has me in his life."
"You are right. He will live as long as you are alive. For him, you must live well," Jim said in a low voice, feeling relieved.
