Elder Kinston's Exclusive Sweet Wife

Chapter 1220 - 1259: Dwelling in Memories

"You must have your reasons, as long as you’re alive and well." he said. As long as she stood there in front of him, so alive, nothing else mattered.

"Your foot..." Daniel Harris suddenly asked, as he had noticed her steps were a bit unnatural when he saw Mabel Quinn walking earlier.

"My ankle is a bit hurt, but it’s much better now. I guess after some more days of rest, it’ll be fine." Mabel Quinn replied.

Only then did Daniel feel relieved. On the way to sending Mabel Quinn home, Daniel learned that over the years, Mabel Quinn had been living under the name Alexander Quinn in G City and even had a daughter.

"Did you start a family?" Daniel asked, somewhat surprised.

"No, this child is the one you helped me keep back then." Mabel Quinn said with a faint smile.

Daniel was surprised; surviving that shipwreck was already a miracle, and he didn’t expect the child in her womb to survive as well.

"Her name is Katherine Quinn, she’s five years old this year, and she’s very cute." Mabel said.

"Have you... gone to look for him again?" Daniel suddenly asked.

The "him" he referred to was not explicitly named, but they both knew it meant Kyle Kinston.

"I haven’t gone to look for him, but... I have seen him. He happened to be handling business in G City recently, and we ran into each other by chance." Mabel replied.

"Really?" Daniel mumbled. Over the years, he hadn’t seen Kyle Kinston again, and sometimes when he saw tabloid news about Kyle Kinston and Francine Howards, he felt only anger and pain... and deep regret.

If, back then, after helping Mabel keep her child, he hadn’t listened to her and let her deal with things on her own, if he’d protected her at all costs and taken her away, let her peacefully give birth, then none of the things that happened afterwards would have occurred.

"Do you still plan to be with him?" he asked.

Mabel shook her head, "If I really planned to, then after the shipwreck, I would have gone back to Falling City to find him. Now, I no longer want to talk about love. I just want to raise Ivy well. Kyle Kinston is Ivy’s father; I won’t deny that to her, and I’ll let her recognize him, but beyond that, there will be nothing more."

"By the way, how about you? How have you been over the years?" she asked.

"Still the same, every day is either work, socializing, or being alone at Han Park drawing some paintings. I often miss the time we spent in Drumbeat Village, it’s as if the happiest time of my life was back then."

Mabel contemplated for a moment and then said, "Don’t let yourself always stay in memories, sometimes if you look around, you might find something new."

"But sometimes, if you don’t let yourself stay in memories, reality feels even crueler, whereas in memories, there’s still some happiness." he said.

She was silent, and after a long time, she said, "Daniel, don’t waste your time on me. You saved my life and my daughter’s life; I am willing to spend a lifetime repaying your kindness, but I cannot repay it with love. In my heart, you will always be the big brother who can be a good friend."
