Chapter 113
Drap, drap, drap!
Chloe was mercilessly sprinting down the corridor, losing her composure for the first time. She couldn’t help it. After all, she had just heard the good news that Eric had woken up after three months!
“Madam, be careful!”
Andrea, who was following behind, shouted, but Chloe paid no attention. She nearly stumbled over several times, but she steadfastly regained her balance and continued running to the room.
“Darling!”
She opened the door wide and shouted.
Then, then…
In the room bathed in sunlight, the seemingly endless downpour of snow had been replaced by an unusually radiant spring. The warm sunlight, filled with the energy of spring, poured in without hesitation through the large window.
And basking in that light was…
“Eric…”
Eric sitting.
Chloe could feel her legs trembling, but she managed to steady herself and slowly straightened her back. Then, hesitantly, she approached him. He was indeed sitting there, seemingly unbothered by the doctor examining him from the side, his gaze fixed on a distant place.
She slowly stood in front of him. Only then did Eric gradually turn his gaze towards her.
“Darling.”
Even though she held back her tears and called out to him, his response was unbelievable.
“Who are you?”
“…What?”
Chloe’s eyes widened.
She sat there, unable to calm her rapid breathing. Even though it was said that, in some cases, memory loss could occur after a life-or-death situation, could it really be true?
My God!
She covered her mouth with both hands, barely stifling the scream that was about to burst out without her knowing. The next moment, she grabbed the doctor’s sleeve and trembled.
“Ho, how did this happen…”
“It’s a joke. How could I not remember you?”
“Eric!”
Chloe shouted, looking at the mischievous look on Eric’s face.
“How could you make such a joke!”
“You were too tense. I’m sorry.”
Even though he was apologizing, he didn’t seem apologetic at all. So Chloe huffed, but she felt some of the tension dissipate, just as the words suggested. As she started to feel a little better, she let out a sigh and lowered the hand that had been covering her face.
“Come here. I actually wanted to come to you, but I can’t move.”
When she pulled her knees up and approached him, she gazed at Eric with her hands on his thighs. He reached out to her, and then, just like before, just like three months ago, he gently stroked her cheek.
“Are you in pain?”
Chloe hesitated.
“Are you worried about me right after waking up?”
“You’re saying the obvious.”
Eric replied nonchalantly as he continued to stroke Chloe’s cheek, treating it as delicately as handling precious jewelry. Then, she leaned her face into his hand and slowly closed her eyes, feeling the warmth in his hand. It made her feel he had finally returned…
“I really… missed you.”
She uttered as she slowly opened her eyes. He was deeply embedded in her blue eyes, and she was embedded in his. At this moment, as they looked at each other, it was a happier and more precious time than ever before.
“Me too.”
Eric said softly with a smile.
“I missed you.”
Chloe couldn’t help but burst into tears at his warm words. She cried with her face buried in his lap for a long time.
Eric couldn’t get up and move immediately. Since he had laid down for a long time, he couldn’t stand on both legs right away, and he continued his life in a wheelchair.
Of course, he didn’t neglect his rehabilitation either. He had a heavy responsibility and had to return to work as soon as possible. However, today, he didn’t go to rehabilitation. It was because he had planned to take a walk with Chloe.
He sat in the wheelchair, waiting for Chloe.
This wheelchair was a product developed by him. Although it was expensive, it was the most popular wheelchair on the continent due to its comfort and practicality. Nonetheless, he didn’t usually have to sit in it, so he didn’t pay much attention to it…
Still, it was definitely comfortable. He felt like he understood why this item was selling so well.
Anyway, Eric considered this moment a significant development for himself. Until then, he had only been interested in making things and had no interest in using them, let alone thinking about improving them for comfortable use.
But now, he has changed his thinking to understand the feelings of those who use it and even considered incorporating improvements for a more comfortable experience in the future.
In a way, it was a good thing.
People say that when someone dies and comes back, they change.
Eric laughed and muttered to himself. Though he knew most of the reason he had changed into such a peaceful person was because of Chloe, because of her.
…To look good to her, to be loved by her, and to not feel guilty of loving her, he changed himself.
This change wasn’t bad at all. It was rather good. He now felt like he emitted the scent of flesh rather than the scent of machinery and felt like he was living as a human.
So, with a gentle smile, Eric welcomed Chloe as she entered the room.
“Chloe.”
She approached him with a slightly surprised face as she didn’t know if he would be ready first.
“I should have come a little faster. If I knew you were waiting for me like this.”
“But you had things to do, too.”
That was true.
Before going for a walk with him, she had enjoyed some light tea time with the wives. Judging from her expression, it seemed like nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
Eric placed his hand on the back of Chloe’s hand, which was holding onto the wheelchair handle.
“Did you enjoy the tea time with the wives?”
“Yes.”
Creak, creak.
Chloe pushed the wheelchair and replied with a chuckle.
“There were more nice people than I thought.”
She recounted the enjoyable tea time with a smile. Why wasn’t there something like this in the past? It was undoubtedly because she had been afraid of the world. More precisely, it was because she had viewed the world from a narrow perspective.
She smiled bitterly.
“I have been narrow-minded all this time.”
“No.”
Eric shook his head.
“It was difficult.”
He corrected her words.
“The world that made you think that way is to blame, not you.”
“….”
The changed Eric always spoke like this. He never blamed her and only tried to comfort her. Chloe could feel her heart becoming lighter.
“Thank you for always saying that.”
Eric smiled faintly, and they soon reached the spacious garden.
Spring had arrived. The piled-up snow had disappeared, and the buds bent long in the winter were sprouting, revealing their beauty to the world. Flowers of various colors greeted them, and a fragrant scent welcomed them. After taking a look around the beautiful garden, Chloe locked the wheelchair and approached Eric.
“You see, Eric.”
“Tell me.”
“You…”
Chloe asked the question she had been so curious about, the question she had resolved to ask Eric if he ever woke up.
“Did you really consider dying for my sake?”
Eric’s eyes wavered briefly, but it was only for a moment. He shook his head.
“I was confident that I wouldn’t die.”
“How?”
“I had a clear will to live.”
He spoke confidently.
“I had a strong will to survive and lead a happy life with you. It was that will that brought me back to life.”
“….”
She didn’t fully understand. How could life and death be controlled by willpower? Chloe concluded that he was trying to reassure her by speaking this way, so she decided to make another promise.
“What if you had died? Did you consider leaving me alone?”
While Eric didn’t respond, it probably meant a yes.
Chloe took a deep breath and sat down in front of him, looking at him.
“Never ever, do something like that again.”
He gazed at her quietly.
Would he really never do it again?
If she were to suffer again, would he not make the same choice?
…No, no.
He would make the same choice.
The choice to save her.
“Chloe.”
Eric stroked Chloe’s cheek.
“My lovely Chloe.”
She lowered her gaze in embarrassment but didn’t avoid his touch, and he leaned forward.
“There’s nothing in our way now.”
“…Yes.”
“There will only be happiness.”
“…Yes.”
“So…”
He gently kissed her forehead.
“I want to feel even more love from now on.”
As she felt a soft sensation, she closed her eyes, smiling as she felt happiness in that touch.
Eric kissed her cheek once again while she was smiling. When she slowly opened her eyes, she could see his happy face before her. Even though she didn’t look in the mirror, she was sure that she was making the same expression.
She was so happy in this moment.
“Darling.”
Chloe hugged his neck.
“I love you.”
As Eric pulled her closer and kissed her, a gentle spring breeze blew. The long winter was over, and now was the season when the bright sun was shining.
However, winter would come again… a cold, terrible, and unhappy winter.
Even so, they would be fine.
They had endured the long winter, overcame it and won. They were not afraid of any winter that might come in the future.
They were just enjoying the current spring.
“I love you, Chloe.”
After he whispered in her ear, Chloe nestled her body against him once again.
It was a happy day.
More so than any other day.
