Arya looked at him in confusion. "What is this?"
Edward scratched his head. "Scar removal medicine."
He heard from Bridget that Arya had a cesarean section, and even a cosmetic incision would still leave scars. The medicine was magically effective in removing the scar.
Arya felt embarrassed. She took it and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Isn't that what I should do? We're friends." Edward stood up. "I'm leaving today. It's good for your recovery by taking more rest. Don't fool around."
Arya smiled and agreed. "Okay."
Arya got up and wanted to see him off.
Edward waved his hand. "There is no need."
After that, Edward turned around and left.
Xavier happened to be back outside the door. Edward said to him. "I'm leaving."
Xavier patted him on the shoulder. "You're a good man."
"Even if it hurt, you had to hold on."
"Okay."
Edward straightened his back and walked towards the elevator. Bridget stopped him. "Edward."
Edward turned around and looked at her.
Bridget looked at Xavier and said, "I'll walk you to the door."
Edward did not say anything, nor did he refuse.
After entering the elevator, they were silent.
They walked out of the elevator together.
Edward didn't tell her about leaving, but said, "Could you walk with me?"
He'd like to call an end to his long-term affection for her.
No matter when it started, it was over now.
He would no longer feel attached to her.
Bridget said nothing but walked forward.
Edward followed her.
They walked through the hall to the gate and walked aimlessly along the roadside.
Edward walked beside her and looked sideways at her face. "You've changed. You're different from when you were a child."
Bridget looked ahead and said faintly, "Because I've grown up."
Edward looked away and stared ahead, sighing, "Maybe."
He once thought that Bridget would marry him, but he underestimated the presence of time.
They just kept walking for a long time. Edward couldn't bear to say let's stop walking.
It was really over.
But even if he continued, there would be no end.
He gathered his courage and took Bridget's hand, "Let's stop here."
Bridget looked back at him.
Edward let go of her slowly. "Let's stop here."
Bridget nodded.
Bridget felt that Edward was quite abnormal, but she couldn't tell what had changed.
She thought maybe she had thought too much and walked in the opposite direction of Edward.
Edward stood still and looked at her...
At this moment, a truck sped past the side and rushed across the green belt towards the sidewalk. The driver kept shouting, "Move away. My brake is out of order..."
Bridget turned around and saw the car rushing towards her. She was too nervous to react.
