"In a marriage, partners should support each other. Maybe my abilities and skills are limited, but I don't want you to take on all the burdens by yourself." Cindy said.
"I want to face it with you."
"Maybe I can't help much, but there must be something I can do? Helping even a little is better than nothing."
"I can't enjoy all the good things while having nothing to do with the bad ones."
"We are supposed to face it together, to share in both fortune and misfortune." Cindy spoke slowly.
"No matter what dangers we will face or how much malice is aimed at us, I don't want you to stand in front of me. I want to stand by your side, and we will bear it together."
"If I put you in front while staying safe and sound behind, even adding my own pressure onto you... I..." Cindy lowered her head and whispered, "I would feel heartache."
"What did you say?" Adrian suddenly grabbed Cindy's hand.
His heart was beating so fiercely that he could hear it now.
Thump!
Thump!
Thump!
So loud.
