Chapter 183
These days, Eleanor spent more time asleep than awake. Even when she woke up, she could hardly
speak a few words before falling. back into slumber.
Jason sat by her bedside, not moving an inch. His pale face was covered in messy stubble, making him
look completely exhausted.
Hailey tried to convince him to get some rest, but he refused. Knowing that she couldn’t change his
mind, Hailey left him alone.
Fearing that Eleanor might want something light to eat when she woke up, Hailey wanted to prepare
some food for her.
She told Jason that she was going to buy some food and then left the ward.
Not long after Hailey left, Eleanor woke up. The swelling in her limbs made it impossible for her to
move around.

She could feel Jason’s firm grip on her hands, which made her heart skip a beat for a moment.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and hoarsely said, “Garett… has the sun risen yet?”
Jason nodded, but then realized that she couldn’t see, so he gently replied, “Yes, the sun has risen…”
His eyes, now red, looked out the window. It was snowing heavily outside, and the sun was nowhere to
be seen.
But every time Eleanor woke up these days, the first thing she would ask was about the sun.
She must’ve really wanted to see the sun, but since she couldn’t, she could only ask if it was out.
Upon hearing that the sun was up, Eleanor slowly turned her head and looked through the window. Her
unfocused eyes seemed to see a ray of sunlight shining in, warming her heart…
“Garett, was the weather like this when you found me?”
“Yes, it was sunny with blue sky. You were lying in the bushes, and I saw you right away.”
Garett found her in the bushes when he was 5 years old, playing with a kite outside the orphanage.
Without any hesitation, he took her back.
From the moment he picked her up, he was destined to dedicate his life to her.
Hearing Jason’s description, Eleanor couldn’t help but smile.
In her dreams, she saw a woman standing in the sun, reaching out her hand, as if to say, “Eleanor,
Mom is here to take you home.”
Perhaps it was her real mother who had once left her in the sun, reluctant yet–helpless to leave…
Or maybe it wasn’t her mother at all. Maybe she just desperately wanted a mother, so she conjured up
a maternal figure in her dreams.
After all, she had never experienced a mother’s or a father’s love in her life.
Coming into the world alone and leaving alone would always leave some regrets…
Seeing Eleanor’s bitter smile, Jason felt a sharp pain in his heart.
The pain made him hold her tightly in his arms, not daring to let go….
Eleanor weakly patted his back and said, “Garett, don’t be sad. See you in the next life…
Jason buried his head in her neck like a child, his tears silently falling onto her skin.
Eleanor’s heart trembled, her eyes reddening as she was moved by his devotion….
They held each other tightly, as if they were the only two left in the world, just as pure as when they
were young.
Eventually, fearing that the embrace would drain her strength, Jason gently put her down…
Eleanor looked out the window, thinking of that man.
Jason had hurried from B City to see her as soon as he felt uneasy. Meanwhile, that man, who was in
A City, hadn’t come even once.
It wasn’t until now that she understood that if someone didn’t love you, they could be completely cold
and heartless. And he was already cold and aloof to begin with.
She smiled again. After all, hadn’t she pushed him away because she didn’t want him to see her on her
deathbed? There was no need to be sentimental now.
