Chapter 1392: Chapter 1389 Do you know? He has left… He really left…
“What’s wrong, why are you crying like this?”
Aidan Lucas’s eyes flashed with distress, had he gone too far?
He knew full well that there was something in the USB drive that would upset Lily, yet he deliberately left it for her to open alone.
Aidan Lucas slightly furrowed his brow, tenderly lifting Lily into his arms.
Feeling her petite body trembling gently in his embrace, Aidan Lucas instinctively tightened his arms.
“Fool, how could I ever abandon you? Even if I lost the entire world, I, Aidan Lucas, couldn’t bear to lose Lily Redington.”
He should have been with Lily, even if he wanted Lily to reaccept him, he shouldn’t have left that USB drive for her.
Aidan Lucas was deeply annoyed, annoyed by his own subconscious scheming.
To win back Lily, he didn’t necessarily need to resort to such extreme measures.
There were other strategies if one failed, how could he allow Lily to face the contents of the USB drive alone?
By now, Lily was crying uncontrollably, burying her small head deep into Aidan Lucas’s embrace, clutching his clothes tightly.
No longer afraid of touching, no longer afraid of his closeness.
She just wanted to fiercely, fiercely hold onto this man and never let him leave her side.
Lily was no longer the fragile woman she once was, but the departure of the other Aidan Lucas had completely hit her weak spot.
Tears, uncontrollably flowing more and more.
Just the thought of that person leaving forever made her want to cling to Aidan Lucas, to hold him tightly and never let go.
“Ethan… do you know… he’s gone, he’s really gone…”
“I saw what was on that USB drive, except for the ring, he left nothing behind. It’s my fault, if I had asked him beforehand, things wouldn’t have turned out this way…”
It was all her fault, in her desire to bring back the first personality, she overlooked the feelings of the second personality.
Naively thinking that both personalities could coexist like before, she had not considered earlier whether the return of the first personality would signal the disappearance of the second.
It was her favoritism that led to his disappearance.
It was she who had failed him…
Except for a wedding ring engraved with words, that person had almost erased all traces of his existence in this world.
Even the USB drive that held his last appearance was completely deleted.
“No, you aren’t to blame for this,” Aidan Lucas tenderly kissed away the tears from Lily’s corners of her eyes, then horizontally carried her to the bed and laid her down.
He sat on the edge of the bed, holding Lily’s hand, and looked at her intently and seriously.
“Lily, listen carefully to me… whether it’s me or him, neither of us wants to see you blaming yourself and feeling sad.”
“But, it’s indeed because of me that he…”
“There are no ‘buts’.” He interrupted Lily.
Dark, deep sorrow swirled in his eyes, he had so much he wanted to tell Lily.
“You need to understand, even without you, there would still be an Aidan Lucas in this world. But that Aidan Lucas wouldn’t be happy, neither personality would be happy. Both of us would just be lonely for a lifetime, drowning in hatred and loneliness.”
“But Lily, your presence has rescued us. To us, you are the angel sent from heaven, our redemption. Whether for me or for him, without you, we would never know the taste of love in our lifetime or understand what it feels like to love someone.”
Aidan Lucas’s palm tightened slightly.
He looked at her, his eyes brimming with profound love.
“Aidan Lucas…” Lily stared at him in a daze.
At this moment, she hardly knew what to say.
His words were also a redemption for her.
He was slowly pulling Lily out from her self-loathing thoughts.
“Lily,” Aidan Lucas suddenly leaned over.
His thin lips touched hers.
The contact was brief, so fleeting that Lily barely had time to resist.
“Thank you,” he said.
Thank you for your presence.
Thank you for not despising the monsters that we are.
Thank you for tolerating our contradictory, alienated, and unruly personalities.
If there weren’t a woman named Lily Redington in this world, then Aidan Lucas would never understand the taste of happiness.
Thank you… Lily…
