My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 611 Hold Me, Shawn

I huddled in his arms and cried my eyes out. I didn't have the words to express the emotions that washed over me now that I had regained what I thought I had lost.

"Yeah. I'm here."

He was here…

Nothing gave me more comfort than those words of his.

"You were unconscious the whole time last night," I wept.

"You must've been terrified."

Shawn gently stroked my head as he said tenderly, "Look at how red your eyes are. You must've cried all night, right? I'm sorry. You were dragged into my world after all!"

The weight of his large hand made me feel safe. I leaned into his hand as I declared, "I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of getting dragged into anything with you! I love you, Shawn. I love you more than anyone else in the world. We've gone through so much together. Our love far outweighs death! You've always made sacrifices for my sake. How many men could love as deeply as you?"

I choked up. "E-Even Nicholas who loved me wouldn't risk his life for me the way you did, and without seeking anything in return too! You're not the same. From the moment you came into my life, you've willingly risked your life to protect me. S-So… Shawn, I'm not afraid of being dragged into your world. I'm not afraid to sacrifice my life for you! I'm even more afraid of losing you!"

I clenched his shirt tighter as I continued crying. "I'm so scared that you'll leave before me, so no matter what happens, you must stay alive! Promise me, Shawn. Promise me you'll stay alive for as long as I am and don't make me go through all that pain and sorrow…"

Shawn was stunned by my outburst. It took him quite some time before he broke out into a soft smile. "Okay. I know how you feel now, Ray. I'll stay alive. I won't let you be the one to feel the pain of losing me."

His voice was so warm and gentle. "I'm so sorry that I fainted and scared you last night. My baby must've been so worried."

My tears started falling even harder.

"I'm so happy you're awake!"

It was ages before I finally stopped crying. Shawn couldn't help but laugh at me. "You're just like a little kitten."

"Don't tease me. What should we do now?"

All of a sudden, Shawn lifted his shirt. "You brought this too?"

"Yeah. I'm scared of the cold!" I blushed and quietly explained, "I always had the impression that Iceland was extremely cold, so I brought a lot of heat packs."

"Iceland gets warmer from June onward. It rarely snows during that time, but the flight route we took…"

Shawn stood up and stared at the morning sun in the distance. "I'm afraid Waylen won't be able to find us so soon and considering the situation we're in right now… Ray, we'll need to leave by ourselves."

"Where are we now?" I asked while still sitting on the ground.

"Up north. I'll lead us out of here, but it's going to be a long journey. Can you handle it, Ray?"

I got to my feet. "Yeah. I won't drag you down."
