He had kissed her so many timesst night, and now, first thing in the morning, he was at it again?
Did he have some kind of obsession with kissing?
Wait–she hadn’t even brushed her teeth yet!
“James, let me go, I haven’t brushed my teeth…”
She instinctively tried to cover her mouth.
But he had no intention of stopping, and she couldn’t block him.
James wasn’t deaf; of course he heard her. She had just woken up, hadn’t even gotten out of bed yet–naturally he knew she hadn’t brushed.
But he didn’t care.
He just wanted to hold her tightly and kiss her fiercely, just to make sure she was really there by his side.
Even without brushing, there was nothing unpleasant

about her breath.

All he tasted was the softness that drew him in, luring him to sink deeper and deeper.
It made him ache to melt into herpletely.
Life could never be restarted.
He could never go back four or five years, avoid that ident, and hold her in his arms while she was being bullied.
The pain and despair she had endured could never be erased from her heart.
And he felt it all with her, as if that pain had been carved into him twice as deep.
He ached for her–ached so much it hurt.
And he was terrified.
Terrified she might not have endured it, that she might have ended up like those stories on the news–people who suffered bullying, who finally shut their eyes forever in despair and istion.
“James, what’s wrong with you?”

Lily felt something was really strange about him today.
This didn’t look like he was still upset over John’s
nonsense.
Worry bubbled in her chest. “Are you feeling unwell? Or… did you have a nightmare?”
James kissed her for a long, long time before finally pulling away, trembling, his voice strained.
But he didn’t let go. He still held her tightly, filled with fear of losing her.
It felt like an eternity before he finally rasped out, “Lily, I saw the videos of Mathilda, Quincy, and the others bullying you. Back then, I wasn’t there by your side…”
So that was why he was acting this way—because of the videos.
Back then, when Mathilda and the others had cornered her again and again, Lily often felt she wouldn’t make it through.
She had even thought more than once about ending her life.
But once she survived it, what had once seemed like the

greatest disaster in her life now felt no bigger than a speck of dust in her memory.

She cupped his face in both hands, smiling brightly up at him. “James, you don’t have to be upset. All of that is in the past. My life is good now. Mathilda and the others didn’t break me–I survived!”
Looking into her shining eyes, James felt both love and pain.
She really was extraordinary.
Life’s hardships and injustices hadn’t turned her bitter or resentful; she was still as radiant as a little ray of sunshine.
How could those people have been so cruel to her?
He pulled her even tighter, his voice, still trembling with fear of losing her. “Lily, thank you for surviving.”
If she hadn’t, then when he finally woke from hisa, he would never have met her. His world would have been
doomed to loneliness and destion.
“Thank you for letting me meet you.”
“Idiot…”

She tilted her head back toward the ceiling, holding back tears, though her voice still trembled. “I’ve gone through a lot of bad things–been targeted, hurt, and abandoned. But I’ve also been lucky, because I met you, and I had Grandma and Mom. James, meeting you, falling in love with you–it’s the best, luckiest thing in my life. And from now on, we’ll keep being lucky. We’ll always be together!”
“Yeah. We’ll be together forever.”
The girl in his arms was still as warm and bright as ever.
She kept soothing him, saying she had almost forgotten all of it.
But James couldn’t stop hurting for her.
Because he knew–those words were only meant tofort him.
How could anyone truly forget such despair, or really not care about wounds that deep?
He couldn’t change the past. The only thing he could do was spend the rest of his life treating her better, never again letting her wander in pain and helplessness.

He wished he could hold her forever. But when her stomach growled loudly, he finally let go reluctantly and went downstairs to make breakfast,
She had a recording session at the studio today, and of course he would go with her.
He had already told Ashton to bring all the documents over, so he could handle his work at the studio while staying by her side.
