His Precious Love

Chapter 337 I Need You

In the end, she bought the tickets for the ship. Even though the journey by sea took more time, the ship would sail directly for Frosa. She had taken into consideration Jefferson’s condition and the high probability of them being tracked by Curtis if they were to fly.

Over the last two days, the emotionless Jefferson barely said a word as he allowed her to lead him around. Rayna’s heart ached in sympathy because she felt she was guiding an empty shell of a man.

Once they settled into the ship, Rayna prepared a cup of warm water and handed it to him along with his medication.

When he took them without a word, Rayna couldn’t stand it any longer. “Jefferson, it pains me to see you this way. Whatever it is, tell me instead of keeping it to yourself.”

She hated it when he behaved like he was already a dead man.

Jefferson glanced out the window, taking in the expansive blue sky and the glistening tips of the ocean waves.

A short while later, he replied softly, “Don’t go looking for the lab. Take me sightseeing instead. I’m well aware of my own condition, and going to the lab isn’t going to make a difference.”

Despite taking his medication a moment ago, he began to cough uncontrollably until his hands were covered in blood.

Rayna, eyes burning, frantically wiped his hands with a paper towel. “I’m sure it will work. Who knows, they might already have completed their research by the time we arrive.”

Holding his hand tightly, Rayna pleaded, “You’re only in your twenties. How can you resign yourself to death? At the very least, stay alive for my sake. I want you to find happiness.”

Jefferson gave her face a gentle stroke.

Such soft and tender cheeks. She looks the same as when we first met. In fact, she didn’t seem to have changed at all. And now, she has grown very confident and can face adversities without my protection. Curtis is right to say that I have underestimated her. She can no longer be restrained anymore.

“I was wrong to be crippled by my fear,” Jefferson murmured. “I was worried that my brother would attack you but learned that you were more courageous than I thought and was capable of protecting yourself.”

Instead of guiding her properly, he pushed her away causing them to lose each other.

Rayna shook her head. “No, you have always been protecting me. You’re the reason why I am unharmed. I still need you now, just like in the past.”

“But my days are numbered.”

Rayna—with a firm yet sorrowful look in her eyes—shushed him with a finger on his lips. “You’ll live a long life. Once you recover, take me skiing, all right? Didn’t you promise to teach me how to ski?”
