The same dreadful disease.
The same bracelet.
But Liz couldn't bear to face the same tragic end.
Lucian would recover.
And she would do everything in her power to make that a reality.
Suddenly, a vivid thought flashed through her mind: Lucian, fully healed from his illness, resuming his normal life—laughing, learning, and spending time with her.
The mere image of his laughter and the prospect of them engaging in everyday small talk and enjoyable activities together filled her with determination.
No matter how insignificant these moments may seem, they meant the world as long as they were shared with Lucian.
For him, she was ready to take on insurmountable odds and face this battle head-on. And ultimately, these collective triumphs over seemingly inconsequential milestones would serve as the light guiding them out of the darkness, enabling Lucian to re-embrace his rightful place in the world.
