Let's Get Married

“I guess I can only wait and see.” Lily doesn’t know what to do now, either. She can only let time run its course.

After stressful questions, Abby shows solicitude for what she has went through these five years, “Where did you live these years?”

“Yes, I was forced to. I didn’t have any other choice.” Lily holds Abby’s hand regretfully, “It’s my fault. If you blame me, I totally understand.”

Abby chokes and says, “Don’t say that! How can I blame you...?”

“I am so sorry.” Lily apologizes again.

Abby sighs, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. All is water under the bridge. It’s good enough to have you back.”

Lily smiles back, “I really missed you.”

Lily explains patiently, “Several years ago in China, I saved a Chinese British’s life amid a weird accident. He is the one who helped me escape and took care of me and my child in London. I have been doing fine these years, with my own legal firm. Only that I feel upset now and then.”

“Chinese British?” Abby frowns, trying up recollect her memories.
