“Axel, we’ve always felt you were the smartest amongst the few of us, but you’re slow when it comes to matters of the heart. I bet you still can’t grasp the meaning of being deeply in love with someone,” Jonah commented.
With that, he lapsed into deep thoughts. Some vague memories resurfaced. He added, “You won’t be lonely, even if all you have is a photo of your love.”
They heard footsteps approaching them. Looking up, Jonah saw Julien heading toward him, hands in the pockets of his white coat.
As Julien smiled, his eyes shone brightly, like a ray of light illuminating Jonah’s soul’s deepest corners.
Julien called out, “Jonah.”
Julien’s voice echoed in Jonah’s mind. Julien’s figure overlapped with a certain figure from Jonah’s memory.
Jonah trembled, a realization striking him like lightning as pieces fell into place.
Jeremy’s room was enveloped in silence. Alyssa, as usual, murmured bits and pieces of their near- death experiences into his ear.
Julien had advised her to engage with Jeremy through conversations, especially about certain unforgettable memories, as external stimuli might help arouse the patient from a coma.
She would not give up as long as there was a sliver of hope. She whispered, “Jeremy, wake up. I’ll tell you a secret if you do.”
Then, she relented, “Fine. I’ll spill everything if you wake up.”
Finally, she broke. “Wake up, please?” She teared up while mumbling. into his ear, fighting the urge to burst into tears.
She wanted nothing more than for Jeremy to return to her life. He was her sunshine.
Yet, Jeremy remained unresponsive. Tears glistened in her eyes. With trembling fingers, she took his hand and wrote the three words she was too embarrassed to say aloud.
After she was done writing, her emotions got the better of her. She broke down and sobbed pitifully.
Suddenly, she felt a slight movement in Jeremy’s thumb
Alyssa rubbed her eyes hard and stared at Jeremy’s hand. She harbored a suspicion that Jeremy’s movement was an illusion due to her fatigue.
Still, she called out tentatively in a trembling voice, “Jeremy? Jeremy? Can you hear me? Move your fingers if you can. Jeremy Walsh!”
“Lyse…” he uttered weakly.
His feeble voice was deafening in the silent room. Elated, Alyssa asked, “Jeremy, are you awake? Can you hear me? Jeremy?”
His pale lips trembled a little as he called out her name again like a murmur in a dream. Even in his dreams, Alyssa was the only thing in his mind.
As tears rolled down her face, she responded, “I’m here!”
Right then, he slowly unfurled his fingers and interlocked them with hers. Once a symbol of courage and strength, he had always offered her protection, but he now struggled with the simplest of movements.
“What … did you … write… on my palm?” he questioned.
Her face flushed instantly.
He pressed on, eyes full of anticipation, “I don’t… want you… to write I want… to hear it.”
Her heart thumped wildly as the crimson hue on her cheeks deepened. Even her neck betrayed a blush. She looked just like at tantalizing fresh bloom.
Slowly, she bent over until her body pressed against his chest. She whispered, “I love you.”
Looking at her through tears, Jeremy felt touched by every word she uttered. After a long wait, he finally heard her love confession once more. A display of sincerity wasn’t enough to win Alyssa’s love. He had to put his life at stake.
Alyssa cleared her throat and dodged his passionate gaze. She attempted to press the call button to summon the doctors and her brothers when she was pulled into Jeremy’s embrace, which elicited a gasp.
Jeremy, touched by her confession, hugged her tightly with his right. arm and said in a hoarse voice, “I thought… I’d never hear that…. again…”
“I used to love you passionately. It’s your fault for not appreciating it. Not my fault,” she grumbled as she leaned against him and curled up like a kitten.
“Yeah, it’s my fault.” Caressing her waist, he recalled the times she had begged him to stay and confessed her love while crying. Inhaling sharply from the piercing pain and choking on his tears, he mumbled, I know you’ve never forgiven me, even if you confessed your love.”
Love and forgiveness were two different emotions to begin with. Loving him and sacrificing for him did not mean she had forgiven his past deeds. He did not want to get ahead of himself, and he did not harbor high hopes that she’d put behind her resentment.
Closing her eyes, she flashed a relieved smile. “It’s all in the past. Jeremy, I have forgiven you.”
Before Jeremy realized it, tears had streamed down his face.
It took Jeremy only half a month to wake up from his coma after receiving emergency medical treatment, which was remarkable. Any ordinary patient would have lost the battle in the operating room, and even if they survived, it might take them longer to wake up from the coma.
After Jeremy was awake, Julien assessed his condition and attributed Jeremy’s quick recovery to his exceptional physique and military background.
In the morning, Alyssa accompanied Jeremy to complete some medical checkups. Throughout the process, he behaved well, like a child who attended medical appointments with his mother. He cooperated well without a word of complaint.
“Have you ever seen Lyse behaving so motherly and saint-like? I nearly prayed to her.” Axel clicked his tongue.
He shot an envious look at the wheelchair-bound Jeremy as Aly a draped a blanket over the latter. He added, “I guess Lyse is no one of us. Her brothers don’t matter anymore now that she has a man. She won’t take a look at us again.”
Grabbing the chance to tease Axel, Landon quipped with a smile,” That’s because Jeremy is good- looking and pitiable. Any woman would have done the same for him. Why don’t you try hurting yourself, for example, losing a limb? You’ll be worse off than Jeremy, and Lyse might actually pay you some attention then.”
“Forget it! I’m Lyse’s brother! We grew up sharing stuff and sleeping in the same bed. I made her toys, tied her shoelaces, and finished her leftovers! I even took responsibility for her mistakes!” The more Axel reminisced, the angrier he became.
He snapped, “Who even is Jeremy? Why do we have to fight him for our dear sister’s affection? We’re the ones who raised her with love, and now, he swoops in and takes her away from us!” from us!”
“Why, you ask? Lyse loves him.” Landon yawned. “Axel, better face the reality. After all they went through together, I doubt anyone could ever come between them.”
Jonah suddenly interjected, “Axel, you’re a grown man, so act like one. *He and Julien approached Axel and Landon. The soft, golden sunlight illuminated their silhouettes.
“Landon’s right. One day, Jeremy will be your brother-in-law, and he’ll be the only one unless Lyse chooses to stay single forever.”
Although Jonah and Julien were of the same gender, Axel and Landon thought the two were a match made in heaven. Jonah was wild, alluring, and masculine, while Julien exhibited feminine beauty and elegance.
Too bad Julien was a man. Axel and Landon thought he’d be perfect for Jonah if he were a lady.
“Let’s wait and see!” Axel exclaimed. “Jeremy Walsh will become a matrilocal son-in-law!”
Landon answered on behalf of his friend, “That’s not a problem.
Winston Taylor is wealthy enough to support nine children and three wives. I’m sure he won’t mind another family member.”
Julien chortled at Landon’s remark. “Are you that eager to marry off your best friend?”
Jonah turned to check out Julien. They seemed to share a telepathic bond because Julien looked at him at the same time.
Heart racing, Jonah looked away. Despite trying to maintain his composure, he swallowed hard, betraying a hint of nervousness.

It was a good thing that Silas was not around, or else the trio would. have made such a scene.
Axel taunted bitterly, “No, of course not. I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of Mr. Walsh, as he’s the family favorite now.”
Jonah said, “That’s enough, Axel.”
Alyssa sighed helplessly. “Axel, I can already picture how you will treat your future wife. Are you going to nag her for a full day if she takes as much as a look at other men?”
“Not only that, I’ll punish her in bed to the point that she won’t be able to get out of bed for three days.”
Everyone was rendered speechless by Axel’s bold answer.
Jeremy smiled, cheered up by the interaction among the siblings. He would be jealous of Alyssa’s exchange with her brothers in the past, but he had since learned to be comfortable with the Taylor siblings’ ways of expressing their love for Alyssa.
All he needed to do was to be understanding and get along with it. People always said that those who were deep in love would lose their sense of self, which seemed to be true for him at the moment.
“Wow, everyone’s here today,” Jeremy spoke.
The crowd turned around. They found Jeremy and Miley approaching them hand-in-hand, as sweet as newlyweds.
Miley gushed, “Everything’s finally settled. It’s nice to see all of you gathering here.” She was glad to see Jeremy’s improving condition under Alyssa’s care. “Mr. Walsh, how are you feeling?”
“I’ve never felt better. I’ll leave the hospital with Lyse tomorrow,” Jeremy replied.
Alyssa quickly pinched him on the shoulder in frustration.” Tomorrow? Are you crazy? The doctor said you made a swift recovery, and your blood tests returned fine, but you’re far from getting discharged. You need at least a week more of hospital stay.”
