He couldn't help but recall the image of that girl sucking the venom out of his wound bit by bit, working tirelessly every day to bring him medicine and food, and the sweet way she called him bro.
He had a special affection for that girl; she was the ray of light he encountered when he was on the brink of death.
Although he was temporarily blinded by snake venom at the time, he couldn't see the girl's face, but that beautiful feeling was enough to keep it fresh in his memory.
Later on, when Patricia showed up with the bracelet, he always felt that something was different about her, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
When he learned that Patricia had contracted a lifelong problem from helping him suck out the snake venom, causing her to lose the ability to have children, he felt guilty and had been trying his best to compensate for the loss his savior suffered.
But he couldn't offer her the love she desired.
Reflecting on everything that had happened, Theo suddenly realized something, and he returned the bracelet to Patricia, "Whatever I give you is forever; there's no reason for me to take it back."
With that, he stood up, bent over to pick up the child from the sofa, and turned to take the child upstairs.
As he passed Ellinor, he stopped and looked at her with a complicated expression, "Wait for me here; I'll be back soon."
Ellinor didn't say anything, and she just nodded.
Patricia had achieved her goal. She happily put the bracelet on her wrist, shaking it at Ellinor in a show-off manner and showing a triumphant smile on her face.
As long as she had the grace that this bracelet represented, Theo would always care about her.
