The Broken-hearted She And The Icy He

Chapter 381 A Final Farewell

Lily couldn’t help resting her cheek against James’s chest. Her voice was hoarse as she said, “You need to take better care of yourself. Life is short–being happy is what matters most. Don’t worry about what other people think. If you meet someone you truly like, just follow your heart. James… I really hope you find happiness.”

Follow your heart if you meet someone you truly like…

The image of being entangled with another man flashed through James’s mind, and his lips twitched hard. His stomach churned with uncase.

He couldn’t stand any physical contact with men–any man other than Leila.

But she was convinced he could only be with men. There was no point in explaining.

So he just gave a muffled reply. “Yeah.”

“You have to eat well from now on…”

Lily normally didn’t say much to James.

But now that they were parting ways, the overwhelming sorrow and lingering attachment made her ramble endlessly. “Don’t drink. It’s bad for your health. If something upsets you, don’t bottle it up–just say it. And don’t spend all your time chasing money. You should enjoy life too. You have to treat yourself well–really well.”

“Okay.”

James’s arms tightened around her. His voice, too, was tinged with a heavy rasp. “You too, Lily.”

“Don’t be afraid to spend money. And don’t even think about saving it for some guy. The most important thing is to love yourself.”

Lily wasn’t stupid. No way she’d let some random guy blow through her money.

Most of the dividends she received–she planned to find a way to return them to him. The rest would be for raising her baby.

Her child would grow up without a father. She already felt guilty enough. The least she could do was make sure her little one never lacked for anything.

With her face pressed tightly against his chest, feeling the strong, steady rhythm of his heartbeat, Lily wished time could just stop.
