Chapter 488 - IN SICKNESS, IN HEALTH (1/2)

He only needed her. She had to stay alive, healthy, and happy and he could die to keep her like that.

They had this mutual understanding.

Even if they didn't tell each other ”I love you” frequently or show affection in front of others, they knew what their partner was thinking.

Their love was expressed with action – caring, affection, trust, desire, peace, and friendship.

However, never in his life had he thought that she would attempt suicide if he was gone.

This recklessness surely could be done by her.

However, something about this tugged at his heart string and he didn't know what to say.

His beloved, who never expressed her love properly, showed him her most vulnerable side. She made him realize that he was the most important existence in her life.

How could he not love her deeply?

When he thought about a life without her, he knew he would choose the same as hers.

He simply couldn't live a life without her.

Wasn't that the reason he ran after her to get her back?

He suddenly felt helpless.

”We can't live without each other, can we?” Mo Yuan asked her.

”We cannot,” Han Luo declared. ”If I die before you and I see you with another woman, I'll come back to earth and torment her until she leaves you. I can't let other women have you just because I'm gone.”

Mu Yuan chuckled. ”That's so like you.”

The train finally stopped and they went out. Both knew a bit of Russian. Using that knowledge, they talked to the locals. Mo Yuan was able to detect a church.

Looking at the young tourists, the priest asked, ”May I have your ID? I'm sorry I cannot oversee a marriage between0 a couple who might be less than eighteen.”

”She is eighteen. I'm twenty,” Mo Yuan told him.

When the priest still hesitated, Han Luo stepped forward and begged, ”Please Father, we don't have much time. There is a group of people chasing after us. They might kill my fiancé and force me to marry a middle-aged man. Our parents are in London. We can't even ask for help. Please help us!”

Droplets of tears fell from her eyes as she pleaded. Her innocent face with sorrowful expression was irresistible.

The priest wavered. He observed the young couple more. They did seem like they were being chased by someone. Finally, he gave in to their pleas.

He let out a deep breath and said, ”Very well, I'll marry you two. Since you came for my help, I shall believe in you. God will be the witness. You may fool me but you cannot fool Him as He knows everything. Do you need some time to think about it?”

”No!” both Mo Yuan and Han Luo replied in unison.

”Just make it quick,” Han Luo added.

”Let's proceed then.” The priest opened a book and started to read, ”Mo Yuan and Han Luo, have you come here to enter into Marriage without coercion, freely and wholeheartedly?”
