Chapter 799

Jareth's broad shoulders hunched inch by inch, the emotions he'd never displayed now breached their dam.

Marilla's clear eyes reddened as she struggled to lift her hand, touching the man's overly gaunt cheek. Her trembling fingers glided upward, eventually pausing beside his graying hair.

"Have I become terribly unattractive?" Jareth's calloused hand covered hers, gently caressing it, as he tried to muster a smile, "I'm not the stud I used to be; Marilla, would you despise me for that?"

"Ah."

Marilla's heart ached, and even her babbling voice seemed to fail her, ripples of emotion flowing through her gaze.

Evadne, ever so sensitive and delicate, couldn't help herself and quietly shed tears.

Unable to bear the sight any longer, Hamilton, tugging on Frederic's arm, left the hospital room first. Thad and Evadne followed closely behind, affording the couple their much-needed privacy.

In the aftermath of the ordeal, facing their profound love for each other, even if Marilla couldn't speak, there was so much they needed to convey.

Jareth barely managed to hold Marilla's frail diminutive hand tightly, his breath warm and heavy, tears falling onto the back of her hand.

In silence, they gazed at each other, their deep love needing no words. Marilla's long lashes fluttered gently; her slim finger traced slow patterns on the palm of his hand - Lily.

With the final letter drawn, Jareth's clenched fist trembled slightly from the force, his downturned lips fiercely suppressing the bone-deep pain of losing a family member.
