Chapter 666: Chapter 684: Even if I Die, I’ll Accompany You (17)

"Nothing." Elijah Smith instantly resumed his usual demeanor, raising his hand and touching Ella Adams’ long hair, saying, "Ella, isn’t your birthday coming up soon?"

"Yeah, do you have any surprises for me?" Ella Adams asked with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Of course." Elijah Smith’s fingers touched Ella Adams’ cheek, and his gaze became somewhat distant, "What do you want?"

"I don’t want anything." Ella Adams turned in Elijah Smith’s arms and thought for a moment before saying, "But you have to get me a cake, Elijah. I need to make my birthday wish. My wish is to be with Elijah forever."

"Wishes won’t come true when spoken out loud."

"It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t come true. I’m with you now, and you wouldn’t be without me, would you?" Ella Adams turned over again, laying her head on Elijah Smith’s chest and looking at him, asking with certainty.

Elijah Smith’s heart churned with indescribable feelings as he was asked by such a confident tone.

He swallowed hard and nodded.

Ella Adams raised her hand, pinched Elijah Smith’s cheek, and said, "Elijah, there are three things in this world that you can’t find once you’ve lost them."

Ella Adams’ expression suddenly became serious: "Time, life, and me."

If you don’t cherish me, I won’t care.

If I leave, there will be no later encounters.

Elijah Smith’s heart suddenly became heavy. He tried to maintain a calm appearance, smiled softly at Ella Adams, wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say. So, he turned over and pressed Ella Adams under him again.

After two consecutive rounds, Ella Adams felt somewhat drained. Combined with the lack of rest from last night, she lazily lay on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Elijah Smith, however, had no trace of sleepiness. He just stared unblinkingly at Ella Adams’ sleeping face, and the words she had just told him floated through his mind.

There are three things in this world that you can’t find once you’ve lost them: time, life, and me.

A sharp pain emerged from deep within his bones and gradually spread outward.

His eyes suddenly filled with tears. Even though she couldn’t see him while she was asleep, he still fiercely turned his head away and closed his eyes. It took a long time for Elijah Smith to let out a long breath. He gently pulled out his arm, got up from the bed, and picked up a pen and paper from the bedside table. He left a note for Ella Adams: "Remember to eat when you wake up. Take care of yourself. I am going to see my older sister."

Then, he picked up his clothes from the ground, got dressed, and left quietly.

...

Isabel Smith seemed as usual in the afternoon, accompanying Raymond Thompson until he fell asleep at night.

While putting Raymond to sleep, she thought about what Thomas Quincy had told her at noon, so she tentatively and indirectly asked Raymond, "Raymond, what would you do if your mother suddenly appeared?"

Raymond didn’t understand why Isabel suddenly asked this question, but his face quickly fell, and the corners of his lips, which had just been laughing with Isabel, became tightly pursed.

Seeing Raymond’s expression, Isabel felt an indescribable discomfort welling up inside her.

She didn’t know how many times it had happened, but whenever Raymond’s mother was mentioned, Raymond would immediately become very unhappy.

Seeing Raymond’s unhappiness, she suddenly lost the courage to tell him she was his mother. She quickly changed the topic and continued coaxing Raymond to sleep.

Although Isabel only mentioned Raymond’s mother once, Raymond’s enthusiasm never returned to what it had been before, and when he finally fell asleep, he still looked somewhat unhappy.

Isabel sat beside the hospital bed, looking at the displeasure in the corners of Raymond’s sleeping lips, and her heart contracted violently in rhythm.
