Chapter 949

Thaddeus's smile froze at the corners of his eyes as a vague pain welled up in his chest. The girl who, against all odds, had carried him back from the brink of death, the one who had suffered countless injuries for him and then vanished without a trace. He had never forgotten her and had tried everything in his power to find her. He wanted to thank her in person, to repay her for saving his life. But after leaving Country L, Paloma had disappeared like a raindrop into the ocean, leaving no trace behind. He had even begun to fear that she might no longer be among the living.

"It's not her."

Gazing up at the star-filled night sky, Thaddeus's eyes filled with a momentary pain before he quickly composed himself and replied, "But she's just like Paloma, brave and resolute. We've been through countless trials and tribulations together. I've committed myself to her in this life and the next. I love her deeply."

"Brother, I know you. You appear calm and rational, but once you fall in love, you treat your beloved like a deity, without a second thought, giving your all."

His friend sincerely remarked, "Your wife is very lucky!"

"No, it's me who's lucky she doesn't look down on me. In every way, I don't deserve her."

Thaddeus lowered his raven-black lashes, his handsome face flushed with modesty, "I wronged her first, and in every aspect, I'm not worthy of her."

"Good heavens, you were the top of your class at the military academy back home, the highest achiever in our unit! You're not worthy of her? Then I must meet your lady, to broaden my horizons!"
