Lilith took his hands gently but found a band-aid on his finger, so she asked anxiously, "What's wrong with your finger?"
"Nothing. I just scratched it accidentally."
But her eyes soon turned tearful, and she said, "Don't lie to me. Did you scratch it when you performed the task? Does it hurt?"
Hearing her words, Jay's heart trembled violently and he clenched her hands abruptly, saying softly, "Honey, don't worry, I am fine."
Lilith couldn't help leaning on him, "You have to take care of yourself. My father is still in a coma, and I can't live without you."
Jay was shocked by her words and then recalled the words that Kelly said to him before. He felt so sorrowful and held Lilith tightly while his nose twitched.
