Adele’s words were interrupted by her son, “I will live, and I will live well, so please stop saying anything more!”
Adele looked at her son’s pleading eyes.
It seemed that Chandler didn’t care about anything else as long as he could protect Tina.
She had never seen her son look at her like that before.
Even though her son was tormented by the curse, he never showed such a look.
She had always known that her son loved Tina very much, but since Tina went missing, his behavior repeatedly her previous understanding of him.
She only realized that her son’s love for Tina was far deeper than she had imagined.
Adele finally just looked deeply at Tina and said, “Tina, even if you have lost your memory, I hope you can learn about your past with Chandler from others. In this way, you can let him live on, in consideration of the fact that he has loved and protected you all these years.”
After saying these words, Adele left the ward alone.
Only Tina and Chandler were left in the ward.
Tina looked at Chandler and said, “It seems like your family really wants to cure your illness.”
“You don’t have to pay attention to what my mother said just now,” Chandler said.
“Is it really only possible to treat your illness with a baby’s placenta?” she asked after a moment of silence.
“There are other ways of treatment, and I have had this illness for many years, ever since I was born,”
Chandler briefly mentioned, not wanting Tina to bear any responsibility because of it.
Tina hesitated for a moment and asked,
“So, do you also want me to have another child?”
“No, I just hope that you can be happy, joyful, healthy, and safe!” Chandler said. He had always wished for this, not wanting to burden her, fearing that he would constrain her.
Tina, he had watched her grow up since she was born.
He had accompanied her all the way, from initially approaching her with a purpose, to later not wanting to confine her with that purpose, wanting her to live freely as she desired.
And in the end, the one who became confined was himself!
Tina looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.
“I suppose you also know that I lost my memory, so for me now, Mr. Hunter is only my legal husband,”
she spoke.
Chandler’s eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sense of disappointment.
It wasn’t surprising that Tina would say this, as to her, he was practically a stranger now.
But when he heard her say it, his heart couldn’t help but ache.
“So, you don’t plan on having another child?” Adele asked.
“I would only have a child out of love for this man, not because I want to cure an illness and have another child,” Tina replied directly, without any other tactful words.
Adele’s gaze turned to her son, “I’ve said it before, why did you keep thinking about her and keep postponing the marriage? If you had married her when she reached the legal age, there wouldn’t be so many problems now!”
“Mom, please stop talking about this. This is a matter between Tina and me!” Chandler shouted.
“How can it be just a matter between the two of you? If something really happens to you…”
Adele’s words were interrupted by her son, “I will live, and I will live well, so please stop saying anything more!”

He had accompanied her all the way, from initially approaching her with a purpose, to later not wanting to confine her with that purpose, wanting her to live freely as she desired.
And in the end, the one who became confined was himself!
“Oh, by the way,” Tina suddenly said, “I heard that you haven’t seen the child yet?”
“Do you want me to go see her?” Chandler asked.
“Since you claim to be my husband, the child’s father, then isn’t it only natural for you to go see her? Or is it because the placenta was lost during childbirth, and you can no longer be treated, so this child is no longer important to you?” she said.
Chandler tightly pursed his thin lips.
It was not that the child was unimportant, but he didn’t know how to face the child with what kind of emotions!
He always wondered if she wouldn’t have suffered so much if there wasn’t this child, if she wouldn’t have gone through so much danger again this time?
The existence of that child had almost caused him to lose Tina.
Fortunately, Tina survived.
If Tina really lost her life in this accident because of the existence of this child, perhaps he would have killed the child himself!
And when this thought crossed his mind, he was horrified.
“No, it’s not what you think,” Chandler denied after a long pause.
“Then what is the reason that you don’t want to see the child now?” she asked.
He didn’t answer.
Tina didn’t seem to intend to wait for his answer either, she just said, “I’m tired, I want to rest.”
“Okay,” Chandler said.
“I hope you can leave, I want to rest quietly alone,” she said again.
“But you’re still a patient now, you need someone by your side,” he said.
“Then you can let the nurse come in.”
His face looked a bit unpleasant, the color draining slowly from his face, “Do you hate me?”
Tina said, “It’s not hate, right now you’re like a stranger to me, there’s nothing to hate.”
After hearing what Tina said, Chandler became even more upset.
Is there nothing to dislike, and likewise, nothing to like either, is that how it is?
Chandler walked out of Tina’s hospital room feeling a bit lost.
Unconsciously, he found himself in the neonatal ward, looking at his and Tina’s daughter through the transparent floor-to-ceiling glass.
The little body lay there, much smaller than normal babies due to being premature.
There were tubes attached to her body, but her hands and feet would occasionally move, as if telling everyone that she was already a life!
Chandler looked at the tiny body, and his eyes involuntarily became moist.
Suddenly, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
If he had resentment towards this child before seeing her, now there was a strange affection.
Is it the bond between father and daughter?
That indissoluble connection through blood?
If Tina hadn’t had an accident, how would he and Tina have welcomed this child with joy?
“I’m sorry…” Chandler said softly.
Actually, the person he resents the most is himself!
It was him who failed to protect Tina, it was him who allowed the child to be born prematurely.
If back then, when Tina fell into the water, he had held onto her, or if he had found Tina before Kit, maybe things wouldn’t have escalated to this point.
The one who was wrong is him, so what right does he have to blame this child!
This is the child that Tina fought so hard to bring into the world!
Tina was surprised to see the woman crying in front of her.
