"Shall we sign a legal agreement?" Yin Qin asked Luo Xiaolang.
He was genuinely afraid that Luo Xiaolang would not trust him anymore.
He was genuinely afraid that Luo Xiaolang would despise him.
Even if, even if it's no longer possible, he didn't want to leave such a bad impression of him in her mind.
Luo Xiaolang hesitated for a moment.
She said, "Alright."
The moment she agreed, she clearly didn't trust him.
Unable to describe his feelings, he said, "I will have the lawyer draft the agreement first thing tomorrow."
"Yeah."
"Then I'll take my leave."
"Yeah."
Yin Qin turned and left.
Suppressing his discomfort, he left Luo Xiaolang's hospital room.
As he left, a sudden thought struck him.
He turned back.
Only to see Joe holding Luo Xiaolang, cradling her gently in his arms as if they were lovers.
Something they, seemingly, had never been.
Yin Qin left.
Without saying another word, he left.
Leaving only Joe and Luo Xiaolang in the room.
