A Moment in Destiny

Chapter 734 The Two Hearts Got Closer

Sometime later, it started raining.

Along with it came storms and strong winds.

Marley got up, stood at the corner of the second floor, and saw someone laying on a couch. He got curious and turned on the lights.

The bright light woke Sylvie just as it filled the living room with light. She turned her head and saw Marley, who was on the second floor. Startled, she immediately lowered her head.

Marley saw everything from where he was standing. He observed Sylvie’s behavior transitioning from loneliness, to shock, and then to panic, and finally returning to her normal state.

Still in his pyjamas, he appeared worried but did not say a word.

“Why are you up now?” she collected herself and looked towards Marley.

He stared at her while walking downstairs, still not saying a word.

She sat on the sofa and looked at the rain outside. The dark, night sky bewildered her, and she said leisurely, “It’s raining!”

“I heard that, too!” replied Marley.

“I like storms,” said Sylvie, “Because they can make people stronger. I am also afraid of storms since they can just as well demolish one’s determination.”

Marley held her hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to see something different!”

“What is it?” Sylvie replied, confused as to what Marley was referring to, but stood up anyway and followed him.

He led her next to the bed on the second floor. Raindrops were pummeling the window, making a loud noise. Marley pointed towards the sea, which appeared black beneath the night sky, and asked, “Do you like the sea?”

“I do!” she nodded in agreement.

“The sea’s depth knows no ends, yet the sea surface is deceivingly calm,” he said, “So, we must be like the sea when it comes to dealing with everyday problems. For example, smiling doesn’t mean that we’re not in pain. Crying doesn’t mean that we’re in despair. Being cold doesn’t mean that we don’t care.”

She thought of something, then turned and looked at him. She realized that Marley actually knew that thing!

“If you can’t let it go, we’ll go together!” Marley added.

Sylvie could feel her chest contracting, and said, “Nope, I’m not meeting her! Never!”

“Sylvie, the more you don’t want to meet her, the more you are caring about her!” as she’s not facing it, Marley intensified his advance, “She won’t control whatever you do, now that she’s detained. Come to think of it, she’s probably going to be checked into a drug rehab center. Meeting her is your duty as her daughter, and she could already be regretting her decisions. If you’re trying to cover something up, it means you care more about it and are struggling to get over it deep down in your heart.”

“I…”

“Aren’t you unable to sleep because you’re thinking of her? It’s already this late in the night, too.” He asked.

Sylvie couldn’t sleep, she really couldn’t. Despite what that woman did, she still couldn’t stop worrying about her. Is this what is meant by their “connection through blood”? Sylvie absolutely hated herself, why couldn’t she just make a stand and stop caring about her?
