"This is normal." Lily confirms again. "It's not normal if you wake up next day and find yourself totally
over it. So, you don't have to suppress your emotions all the time. If you feel low or even want to be left
alone, you can show your feelings instead of believing that you can't expose them. Keeping it to
yourself would be too much to take."
Lily's words bring Eunice to a brand-new world where she doesn't feel so distressed or anxious.
Lily is trying to tell her that emotions are nothing wrong whatever they are. She can definitely let them
out instead of keeping them to herself.
"Lily, you mean I can express my feelings?"
"Of course." Lily nods without hesitation, "I'm not sure about many things. But I'm sure Ryan is
extremely patient with you."
What Ryan is most afraid of must be lack of attention from Eunice. Such silent treatment really hurts.
As time passes by, instead of fading away, the rift between them will grow too much to be bridged.
However, it is better to talk to Eunice than to Ryan. At least, Eunice hasn't lost her mind and she still
listens.
"My mother said that he has been taking care of me." Eunice's eyelids go down.
Lily immediately says, "That's true. Every time he came to the hospital, he almost never slept. He just
looked at you at the bedside. I heard from Karl that he cried a few times for you."
Actually, Karl has never told Lily about that. But in the corridor, she used to see Ryan coming out of the
ward with red eyes. He must have cried.
However, since men have big egos, Lily pretends not to see it then and leaves after a simple greeting,
yet in astonishment. If a man doesn't care about a woman very much, how could he cry for her?
"He is not an ordinary man. He suffered a lot when he was young. He even survived in the black
market. No one or nothing else can make him cry but you."
Apart from Lily, Eunice is also very surprised. When she stays with Ryan, he rarely reveals his
emotions, let alone sheds tears. He is extremely indifferent, as if human emotions and desires are
nothing to him.
But Lily tells Eunice that he used to cry for her. Eunice cannot even imagine that.
He must be so sad that he would cry at her bedside.
However, Eunice does not know whether his tears are out of guilt or love.
Lily feels Eunice's doubts. She sighs softly and says, "Actually, you don't need to doubt his feeling for
you. Eunice, I know Ryan very well. If he doesn't like you and just feels guilty because you got injured
for him, he wouldn't have done so much for you. He would compensate you with money or gifts."
Lily is convincing. The balance in Eunice's heart finally lands on one end. What she has believed to be
so true now turns out to be the opposite.
"If I don't think you are made for each other, or if you don't love each other, I wouldn't have told you
this. Rex and I have gone through much more troubles than you do. So I am very sensible with what's
going on with you. Trust me. Don't hide your true self. It is not good for you either. "
If she buries her emotions deep in her heart, no matter how long it has been, she would still feel
suppressed and unhappy.
"I left Rex for five years. My misunderstanding and complex made me lock myself away for five years.
But I still love him after being away from him for five years." Lily tries to convince her little by little with
her own experience, "The time you spend in isolation won't make you a better person. It only impairs
your feelings, making you shut the door of your heart to anyone."
Eunice says nothing, but she has actually been convinced by Lily and has changed her mind. She
looks at Lily's gentle gaze and asks a question that surprises Lily, "How did you spend the past five
years together?"
Lily does not expect her question and is afraid that Eunice might mind, so she hurriedly explains, "I
didn't have many chances to meet him. I just met him on weekends. And we've always been friends.
You don't need to worry..."
"I don't mind." Eunice is also afraid that Lily would misunderstand her. Eunice says at once, "I mean,
there are very few people who he is willing to live with. Perhaps I'm not the only one. There might be
other girls that he likes, right?"
Lily doesn't know how to refute her negative thoughts.
Although she is sure of Ryan's feeling for Eunice, no one knows what will happen in the end.
"Life is changeable. I can only promise you that if you try to let him in, it will sure turn out nice."
Eunice looks at Lily who is trying her best to comfort her. Lily seems to be a source of a dazzling light,
which has warmed up her cold little heart.
Actually, there is no need for Lily to confide in her. Lily is not the only one who has tried to persuade
her. Even Karl used to talk to her. All of them want Eunice to give Ryan another chance.
However, Lily's words are convincing for her. Although Lily also strives for an opportunity for Ryan,
Eunice feels she is different.
From the urgency and expectation in Lily's eyes, Eunice learns that Lily does so not only for Ryan but
also for her own good. Lily really wants her to live a good and happy life, with all her efforts paid off.
Eunice smiles sincerely, "Thank you, Lily."
Hearing that, Lily realizes that her words make sense for Eunice. She sighs in relief, "You are welcome.
You suffer from such a long coma from saving Adair. My family are grateful to you."
Eunice smiles and shakes her head. "If I had another chance, I'd do the same."
She would still save Adair either for her desire to protect that child or for her affection for Ryan. After
meeting Lily, she is surer that she made the right choice.
Lily holds her hands and says, "You are a good girl. You will definitely find your true love. All that you
are going through now will go away. Everything will be okay."
