Be and the rest looked in the direction Steven was staring, only to spot Amelia standing under the
dim streetlight.
The evening glow highlighted her slender figure, with her soft hair swaying in the gentle breeze and
tears shimmering on her porcin-like face. "Steve..." Amelia called out his name as tears fell
continuously.
The fragile silhouette, almost consumed by the darkness, looked heartbreakingly pitiful.
Steven ran toward the girl he loved dearly, his eyes brimming with emotion. He hugged her with all his
strength, as if never wanting to let go. "Why did youe here at this hour? It''s not safe." Steven
struggled to keep his voice calm, but he couldn''t steady his breathing.
"Steve, I just needed to see you... I''ve missed you so much..." Amelia sobbed even more, her tears
drenching his shoulder.
Amelia had actually been standing here and waiting since before it got dark. She called her sister and
brother-inw for help from this exact spot.
She had been waiting the whole time, hoping to see Steven emerge with all his poise. She did not
know how long she would have to wait, but she was willing to wait as long as necessary.
"I miss you too... I miss you so much, it''s driving me crazy."
His eyes were filled with sadness as he gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. Then, he ced his
hand firmly on the small of her back and gazed deeply into her moist eyes before kissing her fiercely
and passionately on the lips.

Be chuckled as she watched the two lovers reunite, her tears giving way toughter. She wiped her
teary eyes and said with a smile, "Well, that''s just lovely."
Justin held her waist and whispered in her ear, "Wait till we get home, Be. I''ve got something even
better for you."
Be melted into his hug, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink from embarrassment.
"Be, you two should go home and get some rest. We''re heading back to Hatchbay now. If anything
comes up, just contact us," Arnold said with a smile as he waved at them.
"Arnie." Be stopped pretending to be distant from Arnold and fondly referred to him by a nickname.
"It''s all thanks to you this time. Tell me, how can I ever repay you?" Be asked with a smile.
Arnold blinked his beautiful eyes and turned to look at Asher''s back. He thought, ''Maybe you can y
Cupid for me and Asher.''
But Arnold couldn''t bring himself to say it, afraid of scaring the girl.
"You''re Asher''s sister, which makes you my sister too. It''s only right for me to help. There''s no need to
thank me."
Be and Justin returned to their home in Savrow.
Asher and Arnold shared a car, while Steven apanied Amelia as they made their way to Hatchbay.
The dark sky was slowly starting to lighten, looking like a huge stretch of velvety deep blue, calm and
peaceful.
Arnold lowered the car window, his intriguingly narrow eyes squinting as he rested his chin on his hand
and looked up at the distant, enigmatic sky How refreshing and
exhrating!''
For the past 27 years, apart from his academic research, Arnold had been indulging in the materialistic
and tumultuous world.
The wild highs and crushing lows
took a toll on him, causing him to live each day like someone suffering from schizophrenia. His
temperament became increasingly entric and bizarre.
He had met countless people, yet still felt as lonely as an elderly person in their twilight years.
The more people he crossed paths with, the more closed off his heart became. That was until he met
them and him.
Arnold''s gaze was filled with
yearning as he stared affectionately at the calm man next to him. He thought, What should I do? I love
him so much that I considered leaving everything behind in Meridan. I just want toe back and be
by his side forever.
"Dr. Larson." Asher broke the silence in the car.
