I was rushed into the emergency room again.


    This time, the critical periodsted a day and a night. I woke up with great difficulty. The first thing I saw was Noah, disheveled and unkempt. He was


    dozing by my bedside, looking like he had been keeping vigil for a long time, with heavy dark circles under his eyes.


    As soon as I moved, he woke up.


    He immediately reached to press the call button. <fn8231> Chapters first released on F?nd-Novel</fn8231>


    His field of medicine didn’t align with my condition different specialties were worlds apart.


    But he still insisted on staying with me.


    Noah, you once said that if I treated you to dinner, you’d recognize me as your boss from then on. Does that still count?”


    Joah gripped my hand.


    It counts.”


    he sky outside was impossibly blue. I spoke up.


    Your boss doesn’t want treatment anymore.”


    I don’t want to lose all my hair, don’t want to walk away looking ugly and skeletal. The air is nice outside. I want to go out and see the world.”


    loah smiled, then cried hard.


    I’lle with you. I’ll take leave.”


    nd so I was discharged.


    [onestly, aside from the torment of illness, it was a beautiful time.


    don’t know how Noah convinced my parents, who were still abroad seeking medical treatment for me. After talking all night, they personally saw me ff at the airport.


    We went floating in the Dead Sea, rode hot air balloons in Turkey, rode camels in Egypt, and even found time to watch a Japanese fireworks festival rhile wearing yukatas.


    When Alexander found me again, it was at the foot of a snowy mountain.


    ollowing in mine and Noah’s footsteps, he was always one step behind. If it weren’t for the heavy snow that dyed our original ns by a few days, ve probably would have missed each other again.


    Victoria.”


    was slightly startled, then opened the door and invited him into the suite. I greeted him naturally, asking him to sit down.


    ‘You came.”


    Like old friends reuniting after a long separation.


    Noah’s expression remained rather grim throughout, but after filling my water ss with hot water, he still left the room, giving us the living room.


    “I heard from Noah that you remembered everything. That’s good.”


    Before Alexander could speak, tears fell first.


    “I’m sorry, back then I…”


    I shook my head and took a sip of water.


    Gentle and calm.


    “It’s okay. You were probably just too anxious at the time.”


    “I didn’t cut off contact with you because I was angry.”


    Alexander gripped my hand tightly, tears falling inrge drops.


    “I’d rather you were angry.”


    “I’m sorry, Victoria, I’m sorry… We can definitely cure this. I rented the tulips. We can get married again. We can start over. I haven’t grown old


    with you yet.”


    “Victoria, don’t leave me.”


    As he spoke, Alexander copsed against my legs, sobbing.


    stroked his soft hair repeatedly, my tone likeforting a child.


    Alexander, don’te looking for me anymore.”


    I don’t love you anymore. Really.”


    In other words, I don’t want to struggle with you anymore. I haven’t seen the sunrise and sunset over the snowy mountains yet. I don’t want to go ack with you to see tulips. We loved each other, and it was beautiful. I’m already content.”


    lexander looked up at me with red-rimmed eyes.


    ly eyes were as calm as water in a deep pool.


    Alexander, as long as our story is profound enough, it doesn’t need to be perfect.”


    The snow has stopped. I wonder if the sun wille out today.”
