Chapter 1169


    “No way. I can''t let you." Romeo pulled her hand back under the nket, "You''ve had enough for one


    day."


    “Just do your job in the future. Don''t worry about me.” Arabe was referring to him waiting for her day


    and hight at the hospital.


    “What''s more important than you?" Romeo looked into her eyes, enunciating each word, "You didn''t


    sleep, didn''t eat, and spent a full 21 hours in the OR. I worry about you."


    “Worried I''ll copse from exhaustion?” Arabe couldn''t help butugh, “I''m not a child. I know my


    limits.


    “In my heart, you are still a child." Romeo fed her another spoonful of soup, “So young, yet carrying a


    burden heavier than anyone else''s. Sometimes, I wish you''d take it easy, mind your own business


    more, and care about yourself."


    “But I have you to look after me, don''t I?"


    “There will always be times when I can''t look after you enough."


    Arabe noticed a change in his mood, “What''s wrong?"


    Romeo was reminded of Arabe at the hospital today, she had only consumed a bottle of milk, and


    that too only because he had handed it to her. Arabe didn''t want him to worry, so she chugged it


    down all at once.


    If he wasn''t there today, would she have gone 21 hours without eating?Content bel0ngs to N?vel(D)r/a/ma.Org.


    The mere thought of it pained him.


    “It''s nothing.” Romeo concealed the worry in his eyes, not wanting to burden Arabe with his worries.


    “Alright, I know you care about me.” Arabeughed, her eyes sparkling with a tender light, “Today


    was an exception, won''t happen again."


    “Your promises nevere to fruition."


    She had promised him before that she wouldn''t risk danger, that she wouldn''t get hurt, that she would


    take care of herself, not to worry him.


    "Next time, even if you''re busy, you''re not allowed to skip meals."


    "Okay.


    After some time, Romeo held her as they watched the snow falling outside, the pristine snowkes


    fluttering down.


    Romeo breathed in her scent, “It feels like we''ve known each other for a long time."


    Theirpanionship felt as natural as a couple who had been together for decades.


    "I feel the same way. Arabe watched the falling snowkes, feeling as if time was slowing down once


    again.


    Having someone by her side gave her life a newyer of meaning. It was nice.


    After a while, they parked the RV in the garage. Romeo wrapped a warm coat around her and carried


    her into the vi’s elevator.


    This residence, called Be Vi, was something he had bought specifically to be closer to her, near


    the school.


    It had a bedroom, a walk-in closet, a hot spring bath, ab and everything he prepared for her.


    Romeo carried her into the bedroom.


    “lL want to take a shower."


    Romeo fetched fresh clothes for her and prepared a bath. Only after reminding her of a few things did


    he leave.


    It was still dark at five in the morning, but a light had entered Arabe’s world that had been gloomy for


    years.


    Meanwhile, rk stayed by Carol''s bedside, awake all night.


    He hacked into the surveince of the area around the street where the incident took ce. He sorted


    out all the information and movements of the people involved and sent it to the police.


    Some of the hidden culprits were also found.


    After a while, he heard some devastating news.


    During police interrogation, someone confessed that over twenty people were involved in viting


    Crystal''s innocence.


    Throughout the ordeal, the name Crystal kept crying out was: rk.


    “rk, rest assured. These people will be punished."


    rk''s eyes reddened again, his fists clenched tightly, his voice tinged with anger, "Are all those


    scumbags caught?"
