Let's Get Married

Chapter 615: I Can't Lose Her

Thomas’ roar vents his extremely suppressed feelings. Suddenly, he becomes emotional and rushes toward the motionless person on the bed.

Ryan senses his emotions. Fearing that Thomas may do something stupid, he steps forward and grabs Thomas’ shoulders to drag him back.

"Calm down!"

"I can't! The one lying there is my sister, the one who treats me the best. With her between life and death, how can I be calm?" After a loud roar, Thomas suddenly looks at Eunice and shouts, "Eunice! Look at me. Mom and I are here. Open your eyes and look at us...."

Ryan has witnessed many deaths. Even he himself has barely evaded several deadly situations. After experiencing so much, his heart hardens. There is nothing that can easily move him.

However, when he hears Thomas’ shouts, he feels extremely bitter. When all the loud voices subside and Eunice remains still on the bed, the sharp contrast and the deathly silence make their blood freeze.

Lorraine and Thomas stay in the ward for nearly twenty minutes before they gradually calm down. They look at Eunice, who was pale on the bed, and slowly accept the fact that she is in a vegetative state.

Lorraine is such a strong person. She has never shed tears when she was sick, but this time, she dries up all the tears that she has accumulated earlier.

She stops crying, but her eyes are empty.

After calming down, she looks at Ryan with a straight face and says in a hoarse voice, "Are you Eunice's friend?"

Ryan is moved when he looks into Lorraine's aged eyes that are a bit like Eunice's. He leans against the wall and says seriously, "Can I have a word with you?"

Lorraine takes a deep look at her lifeless daughter on the bed. After a long pause, she holds the bedside to stand up and follows Ryan to the corridor of the hospital.

This is a VIP floor. There aren't many wards and the corridor is silent. They walk to the window at the end of the corridor. Ryan looks at the gray sky. His throat rolls twice. He wants to smoke, but he restrains himself.

"Just say what you want to say," Lorraine speaks first. She is nearly fifty. Her body seems to have lost its vitality.

Ryan takes a deep breath and rehearses the words that he has organized in his mind before he slowly says, "I'm sorry to let you know me on such an occasion, but I still want to tell you the truth...."

He pauses for a moment and then says firmly, "I'm her boyfriend."

Eunice likes him and confessed in Q City. She even gave him her most precious first time. At that time, he was a bastard who fled. But now he wants to shoulder his responsibility.

He just doesn't know if Eunice, who is still unconscious, will agree.

Well, just let him be selfish for once.

Ryan thinks Lorraine will be surprised when she hears this, but she is only dumbfounded for a moment. In a few seconds, she calmly nods. "I know." Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

Now it's Ryan's turn to be surprised.

"You know it?"

Lorraine tries to give him a friendly smile by pulling the corners of her lips, but she fails as she feels countless bitterness in such a helpless situation. "Eunice is a self-respecting girl. She won't be with someone she doesn't like. Since you two are together, it proves that she likes you."

Lorraine had a strong temper when she was young, and Eunice follows her trait.

Ryan clenches his hands that are hanging by his side. His handsome face looks solemn. He gently closes his eyes. A thousand thoughts flash in his mind before he opens his eyes again. "She is a good girl."

"Yes." Lorraine seems to have thought of something. After finishing speaking, she covers her face and turns around, her voice choking with sobs. "But everything is gone. Everything...."

Ryan looks at Lorraine whose shoulders are trembling. He wants to comfort her but doesn't know how to. He can only firmly tell her, "I won't give up on her."

"Easy said than done. How long can she survive? She's in a vegetative state...." Lorraine can't continue. Just thinking about it makes her heart ache.

Every child is a treasure to his mother. With Eunice like this, it's as if her heart is pierced by a knife.

Ryan's breathing becomes unstable when he hears what she says. He says hurriedly, "There's a way. I've invited all the experts from home and abroad. They will find a way."

Hearing this, Lorraine's body stiffens. She turns around and looks at the tall man in front of her. She was too sad to observe him carefully. Now she realizes that Ryan is different from the guys she has seen before. One can tell at first glance that he is an extraordinary man with a strong aura.

This makes Lorraine somewhat uneasy. They're ordinary people. Why does Eunice get in touch with such an extraordinary person? "What is your name?" Lorraine comes back to her senses and asks the

first question about him today.

Ryan does not hide anything. "My name is Ryan."

"Ry...." Lorraine nods and sighs.

Ryan has never been called "Ry" in his entire life. After being in a daze for a dozen seconds, he finally replies, "Yes."

"We're an ordinary family. When I was sick, Eunice suspended her sophomore year and went to work for me and her brother. Then when I finally recovered, this horrible thing happened to her. Our family is not rich, and life is hard on us. We can't afford to hire the experts." Lorraine's eyes turn red as she speaks.

As a mother, she has always blamed herself for not being able to give her children good living conditions and for being Eunice's burden.

Now this feeling becomes even more profound.

Ryan doesn't care about this. He replies, "There is no need to worry about the cost. It's on me. As long as the experts come up with a feasible plan, I will not give up until she wakes up, no matter how long it takes."

Lorraine's heart skips a beat. She raises her eyes and looks at the person in front of her carefully. He looks very young, but she knows he's at least thirty years old. She is still worried. "What is the relationship between you and Eunice? I can't accept your help for no reason."

This question pulls Ryan's memories back to a few months ago. Her smiles, frowns, and every action flash in front of his eyes like a movie.

Angry, happy, cunning, bright, dark ... everything is as clear as yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everything disappears.

Ryan lets out a deep breath. His words tremble but his eyes are filled with determination. "She helped me a lot and did a lot for me, but I missed her. This is the greatest regret in my life. So I'm not helping you. This is my redemption."

Very few people would say the word "redemption". The word is too sacred and grand to utter easily.

But at this moment, he says it.

Just as Lorraine is too shocked to speak, Ryan says again, "I can't bear to lose her. I hope you can give me a chance."
