Chap 84

                                    

                                          
The news of Engfa's accident left all her friends and parents deeply worried. As soon as they heard, they rushed to the hospital to check on her and offer comfort. After receiving IV fluids and a thorough examination, the doctor confirmed that Engfa's condition was stable; she only needed follow-up visits, and she could be discharged right away. The police arrived to inform her that she was truly fortunate, as her car had advanced safety features that helped her escape the accident without serious injury.
Engfa listened, feeling her heart swell with indescribable emotions. That car, gifted to her with so much love and care, had protected her in the way Charlotte always wished to-shielding and safeguarding the one she loves. She turned to Charlotte, gently embracing her, eyes glistening with tears. Charlotte responded by holding her tightly in a warm embrace, leaving everyone in the room moved by the moment. The plan to celebrate Charlotte's birthday had to be canceled due to Engfa's sudden accident. Friends and family said their goodbyes, leaving to rest, creating a quiet space for the two of them. Charlotte lovingly drove Engfa home, her every gesture gentle and caring, making up for the moments of fear.
At home, Charlotte helped Engfa sit down, carefully inspecting her wounds and asking:
· "Are you in pain?"
Engfa smiled, gently squeezing Charlotte's hand:
· "I'm fine... but in that moment, I thought I would never see you again, Charlotte. I was unconscious, and all I could see in my mind was you, the fear of leaving a world with you in it." She smiled sadly, trying to hide her weak but genuine love.
Charlotte looked down, unable to hold back her emotions, her voice trembling:
· "I was so scared... I didn't think I could go on without you, Engfa. I promised to be strong, to be happy even if you weren't there, but... I know I can't do that. You're everything to me."
Hearing those words, Engfa pulled Charlotte closer, holding her tightly. They quietly held each other, reassuring themselves that they were still there, together, ready to continue their story. That embrace was not only comforting but also a promise that, no matter what happened, they would always stay by each other's side, protecting each other as they always wished.
"When love faces the delicate line between life and death, even fear becomes sweet."
It was late at night, and the night air grew quiet, yet Engfa's heart was still restless. At 9 PM, she felt better, but Charlotte was still worried and didn't want her to go out. Charlotte gently persuaded her:
· "Engfa, your injuries aren't fully healed yet. I don't want you to tire yourself out."
Engfa kept looking at Charlotte with loving eyes. She gently held Charlotte's hand, pouting like a child, her eyes twinkling like the stars:
· "It's your birthday, this special night; I don't want to miss a single moment. Just once, let's celebrate tonight together."
Charlotte hesitated, worry filling her eyes, but she softened under Engfa's sincere plea. As they stepped into the restaurant, Charlotte was awestruck by the dazzling beauty filled with candlelight and fresh flowers covering the space. She was both surprised and moved, looking up at Engfa and softly asking:
· "Didn't you say it would be just the two of us?"
Engfa just smiled, her gaze tender and deep, a silent response full of love. She led Charlotte to sit by the window, where the lights reflected off the river, mirroring their love-peaceful yet radiant. When Charlotte opened her eyes, she was surrounded by loved ones, along with a big cake and a special bouquet of sunflowers and white roses. She couldn't hold back, hugging Engfa tightly, her heart overflowing with happiness.
