After Death, Love Unveiled

Chapter 181

Elara looked at Lysander, holding his hand. "I just didn't expect you to say this. I thought you'd have the same opinion as they do," she said..

She had been thinking about this issue for a long time, worried that she might take the wrong path or make the wrong decision.

But Lysander's presence gave her the confidence to make a choice without fear. Hearing her words, Lysander said, "I don't think the way they do."

Elara lifted her head to look at him. "Huh?" she asked.

"You've done what you wanted to do, and that shows you're a good person," Lysander said. "Your heart still burns with passion and kindness. You're willing to contribute what you can for this world.

"Whether the people you help are worthy of it or not, that's their problem. Doing good is never wrong. As long as it's within. your ability, I hope you can live the way you want."

Elara leaned against his chest, playing with his long, slender fingers, tracing each one gently.

Under the soft light of the bedroom, Lysander studied her. "When do you plan to sleep?" he asked.

"I'm starting to feel a little tired," Elara replied. "I felt pretty awful earlier, but now that you're back, I feel a lot more at ease."

"Looks like my presence does have some value for you, Elara," Lysander said with a faint smile.

Elara raised her head. The wine she had drunk earlier was starting to take effect. As she looked at him, she found that he somehow seemed even more handsome than before. She stared at him, her gaze lingering and unbroken. Lysander had originally come back to comfort her. Seeing her cry earlier had left him flustered and unsure of how to console her.

Now, noticing her staring at him, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and his voice dropped to a lower register. "If you keep looking at me like that, don't expect to get any sleep tonight," he said.

As soon as Lysander finished speaking, Elara leaned in and kissed him, a soft kiss landing on his cheek. "You made the first move," Lysander said with a smirk.

When Elara tried to pull back, Lysander didn't give her the chance. He took the lead, deepening the kiss with determination.

By the time Elara woke up at noon, Lysander was still there He was wearing a simple white T-shirt, a look that reminded her of his days as a student.

Lying in bed, Elara replayed the events of the previous night in her mind. She vaguely remembered acting like a fool in front of him when he came back. Embarrassed, she pulled the blanket over her head to hide herself. "Awake?" Lysander's voice broke the silence.

From under the covers, Elara's muffled voice responded. "Why are you still here?"

"I happen to have the morning off," Lysander said casually. "So I figured I'd wait for you to wake up. Didn't sleep well?"
