"Ella, don't be like this, I've told you, this is all fate. Even those in high positions can't escape the calamity of life and death."
Arthur Lindsey gently wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks with his broad palm, and said with heartache, "If you continue to cry, my emotions might fluctuate, and the poison might flare up."
Upon hearing this, Ella Lacey immediately stopped her cries. But the warm tears in her eyes, forced to retreat, stung her eyes red, making her look like a pitiful little rabbit.
She kicked off her shoes, climbed onto the hospital bed, and pressed herself against Arthur Lindsey's side. She leaned her small body over to hug him, "Arthur, my mind is a mess, I don't know how to help you, sob sob..."
She couldn't help but sob a few more times.
Arthur Lindsey hugged her back, patting her back gently, saying softly, "You don't have to do anything, just stay by my side."
