Lily was already weak from Aurora's previous attack. At that moment, she felt extremely miserable and almost could not continue standing as Darryl kept calling out for her.
She really wanted Darryl to hug her, but Lily did not want Darryl to continue looking at her face as she felt unworthy of him!
"Lily, I beg of you. Let me hug you just for a while, please?” Darryl lowered his voice with his reddened eyes.
Lily bit her lips hard as she knew very well that she would fall hard for him if she allowed her husband to hug her. Lily was determined to forget about Darryl, so she could not allow herself to fall for him!
Lily bit her lip hard and shook her head at that moment while bearing through the pain before saying, "Darryl, I was just attacked and don't know if I'll survive this. I heard from others there's a seven-year itch between couples, so let's make a seven-year deal. We'll be together if I'm not dead and you've still haven’t forgotten about me seven years later, alright?”
If Darryl had not forgotten her seven years later, it proved that Darryl really loved her deeply and did not care about her ugly looks.
“No!" Darryl yelled out loud with his hoarse voice, "I don’t want whatever seven-year deal! I want it now! I want to be together with you now!"
However, Lily did not listen to Darryl at all and just bit her lip before softly saying, " Hubby, I’ll be at the beach waiting for you seven years later on this day."
Lily then covered her mouth and ran far away as her tears started falling the moment she turned around.
"Lily! Lily!"
Darryl was sobbing hard as well at that moment!
“Lily, I don’t want to wait for seven years. I don’t want to..." Darryl wailed.
However, Lily was already far away.
Darryl stood on the spot and felt as though his heart was stabbed. He slowly calmed himself down after a while before letting out a long breath and decided to respect Lily's choice.
Seven years! It was not too long and would pass by in a blink of an eye.
'Lily, my feelings toward you will never
change in my entire life! I'll definitely come to the beach and look for you seven years later!’
Darryl looked at Lily running away at that moment and muttered secretly in his heart before rushing over to the Carter Mansion.
