Chapter 473

Vivian Bennett gazed into Liam Sullivan's deep eyes, her heart filled with complex emotions.

The past hurts were still vivid in her mind.

Yet she couldn't truly bring herself to hate him.

Perhaps this relationship had been a mistake from the very beginning.

But reason could no longer control her heart.

She had already fallen deeply without even realizing it.

"Vivian, you... I love you too."

Liam's voice trembled with barely contained emotion.

He pulled her tightly into his embrace.

His burning kiss landed on her lips.

They held each other passionately on the hospital bed.

He only released her when Vivian began gasping for air.

He rested his forehead against hers, his eyes filled with unbelievable joy.

"I can't believe you said you love me."

"I thought you hated me all this time."

"I even thought you might fall for someone else."

He had never felt this happy before.

This feeling was so beautiful it felt like a dream.

He handled it with care, afraid to break this happiness.

Vivian glared at him with mock anger.

"It's your fault for treating me so badly before."

"If you do it again, I'll really disappear."

"I'll make sure you can never find me."

Liam affectionately ruffled her hair.

"From now on, you can bully me instead."

"I promise I won't fight back."

All he wanted now was to give her everything he had.

Though Vivian kept up her sharp tongue, her heart felt sweet as honey.

"I'm not as domineering as you."

Liam held her gently.

"Can you come home with me now?"

He looked at her pale appearance, his heart aching.

Vivian leaned against his chest and sighed softly.

"We're both such fools."

"We went around in such a big circle."

"Turns out it was all misunderstandings."

Liam tightened his arms around her, his voice low and tender.

"A fool matches a fool perfectly."

Vivian closed her eyes, feeling his warmth.

"As long as we can be together now."

"All the past pain was worth it."

Liam looked at her urgently.

"When can we finally go back?"

Vivian smiled helplessly.

"At least wait until I recover."

Liam worriedly stroked her cheek.

"What's really wrong with you?"

"You look so pale."

Vivian knew her illness was more of a heart sickness.

Now that her emotional knots were untied, her body would naturally heal.
