Chapter 1659 - 1701: Would It?

Kyle Kinston avoided talking about his daughter’s illness, clearly not wanting to say more. Mr. May, being a sensible person, smiled faintly and said, "I don’t think Jeremiah would find it bothersome. Even if she fainted in pain right in front of him, he would just walk away. To be honest, this is the first time Jeremiah has been this patient with a girl. It’s destiny for these two children."

"Yes, destiny..." Kyle Kinston said softly, tightly holding Mabel Quinn’s hand under the table. This is a destiny ordained by heaven, a bond meant to last a lifetime, never to part.

Jeremiah May watched the two little ones doing their kindergarten homework. As a child, he followed his parents to war-torn countries, so he never had the chance to attend kindergarten, let alone do any homework.

Now, watching Harper Kinston and Levi Harris cutting flowers and grass from sheets and coloring them with bright watercolor pens, then pasting them onto white paper.

To Jeremiah May, this kind of homework seemed mindlessly simple, but the two children were very focused on their task.

Of course, the really focused one was little Harper Kinston, while Levi Harris was just tagging along, not caring whether the work turned out well or not. To him, if not for her, he wouldn’t bother with these tasks at all.

Since tonight was the Full Moon, even though Harper was busy with her homework, Jeremiah May kept an arm around her to prevent any pain.

The little one didn’t resist, but Levi initially protested, "Why do you have to hold her like that?"

"Because if her body isn’t touching mine, she’ll be in pain all night," Jeremiah May replied, not dismissing the young boy’s question. Although Levi was only a little over four years old, he was much more mature than most children. "Do you want to see her in pain?"

Levi bit his pink lips slightly, seemingly discontented, "She usually only hurts for a while, then it’s over."

In other words, Jeremiah May didn’t need to keep holding her.

Jeremiah replied, "But tonight is a Full Moon, it’s different. Every Full Moon night, she feels pain all night long."

Levi’s dark eyes showed clear surprise, evidently unaware of this.

"She has Jeremiah, she won’t hurt!" Harper interrupted, "Mommy says she likes Jeremiah the most, so when she feels pain, she won’t when she hugs him."

Of course, these two sentences were explained to little Harper by Mabel Quinn for quite a while before she understood.

Levi blinked and suddenly asked, "If she liked me the most, would it stop hurting if she hugged me instead?"

"Harper doesn’t know." The little one shook her head; this question was clearly beyond her comprehension.

Jeremiah May slightly narrowed his eyes, feeling an inexplicable worry and discontent. If one day the person she liked most changed, would that mean the bond between him and her ends here?

And in the future, would every Full Moon night be spent with someone else by her side?
