Tina looked at the middle-aged woman in front of her.
"I suppose you also know that I lost my memory, so for me now, Mr. Hunter is only my legal husband," she spoke.
Chandler's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible sense of disappointment.
It wasn't surprising that Tina would say this, as to her, he was practically a stranger now.
But when he heard her say it, his heart couldn't help but ache.
"So, you don't plan on having another child?" Adele asked.
"I would only have a child out of love for this man, not because I want to cure an illness and have another child," Tina replied directly, without any other tactful words.
Adele's gaze turned to her son, "I've said it before, why did you keep thinking about her and keep postponing the marriage? If you had married her when she reached the legal age, there wouldn't be so many problems now!"
"Mom, please stop talking about this. This is a matter between Tina and me!" Chandler shouted.
"How can it be just a matter between the two of you? If something really happens to you..."
Adele's words were interrupted by her son, "I will live, and I will live well, so please stop saying anything more!"
Adele looked at her son's pleading eyes. It seemed that Chandler didn't care about anything else as long as he could protect Tina.
She had never seen her son look at her like that before.
"Is it really only possible to treat your illness with a baby's placenta?" she asked after a moment of silence.
"There are other ways of treatment, and I have had this illness for many years, ever since I was born," Chandler briefly mentioned, not wanting Tina to bear any responsibility because of it.
Tina hesitated for a moment and asked, "So, do you also want me to have another child?"
"No, I just hope that you can be happy, joyful, healthy, and safe!" Chandler said. He had always wished for this, not wanting to burden her, fearing that he would constrain her.
Tina, he had watched her grow up since she was born.
He had accompanied her all the way, from initially approaching her with a purpose, to later not wanting to confine her with that purpose, wanting her to live freely as she desired.
And in the end, the one who became confined was himself!
