Chapter 877

Marilla's face, once pampered to a soft glow, beamed with a tender maternal light as she scribbled away.

Jareth, lurking behind her, bore a shattered expression, his pale lips quivering uncontrollably.

He wrapped his arms around her from behind, his chin resting on her slender shoulders, nuzzling her affectionately, his eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"Babe, I thought... I thought you didn't want kids?"

His voice was a husky whisper, filled with raw emotion, his cool lips brushing against her ear, "Didn't you want to focus on your art? Didn't you want it to be just us forever?"

Marilla's lashes fluttered shyly as she continued writing:

"That was before. I've changed my mind."

Her voice trembled slightly, "Jareth, I know my body. With all the medications and treatments, who knows when I'll be out of this hospital. I want us to have a child, a boy or a girl, it doesn't matter. We'll raise them together. This way, even if I leave this world before you, you won't be alone."

Jareth, overwhelmed by her words, frantically cleared his phone screen, his vision blurred by tears:

"Marilla, don't talk like that! We're going to make it, we'll grow old together! And I don't need kids! I have you, that's enough for me. I don't like kids, I don't want them!"

Marilla, sensing his turmoil, firmly grasped his hand, calming his tremors.

Jareth, biting back his sorrow, captured her lips in a deep, tender kiss.
