Chapter 180 - Never let go (2/2)

Was it tears?

Why was he crying?

Did someone really cared?

Seeing her in a daze, Liam cautiously walked towards her.

”Give me your hands. You promised not to fight this alone. We are supposed to fight the war alone. You're not alone anymore. Please…...just give me your hands.” Liam said softly as his heart raced in his chest. He has never been this afraid in his life.

Ying Sheng glanced at his stretched hand and tilted her head.

'Can I trust him?

I'm I not alone anymore?

Can he help me?

No-no the real question is, do I want to wake up in this depressed world again?'

”Remember you want to open a bakery shop, which would brighten people's day. Don't you want to put a smile on a kid's face? Don't you want someone to say, I'm happy because I ate Miss Ying's special recipe? At least, this should be enough for you to keep living. Think about those who loves you….”

Liam sucked in a harsh breath.

”Your cousin, Lei Zhao…...are you going to leave him? He...he…. Do you want him to live with guilt the rest of his life? Because I'm sure he would blame himself for losing you.”

Liam was beginning to panic. He has never said so many things in one breath before.

”I-Do you want to leave me?” Liam mumbled as his eyes flickered with an intense emotion.

Ying Sheng gazed into Liam's eyes and her lips curved into a sad, wistful smile.

”But….I don't want to hurt anymore. My heart—it hurts so badly. I ….want it to stop.”

Ying Sheng's voice cracked with so much vulnerability that nearly suffocated Liam.

”Yes….we will make it stop. Just give me your hands first.”

”If I give you my hands…..Do you promise to never let go?”

Ying Sheng asked searching Liam's eyes for anything, something that can help her because she was so sick of being lonely.

”Yes….never let go of you. I promise.”. Liam said as his lips curved into a soft smile.

Ying Sheng's mirrored his smile and gave him his hands.

Liam let go of the breath he didn't know he was holding as he pulled her into his arms.

Feeling her body in his arms and the sobs escaping from her lips made him aware all of this is real.

If he was a minute late…...
