Chapter 141 Seeing Double
A small figure sat by the bed.
Maya’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
86
Just like how Lawrence could recognize her from just a figure, Maya could also recognize him from a single silhouette.
“Lawrence?”
She spoke softly.
That small body trembled.
Then, he turned around.
Maya saw that face.
A face identical to hers.
And those amber eyes were exactly like her own.
He was looking at her right now.
His eyes were wide open.
They were so wide open that it seemed like he wanted to fit her whole inside them.
“I…”
Lawrence seemed stunned by this sudden moment. He opened his mouth slightly.
What should he say?
Hello?
Do I know you?
But he realized he couldn’t say anything at all.
It was like something blocked his voice. No proper words could come out.
He could only look at her.
Lawrence’s eyes widened without him knowing, and tears fell without him realizing it.
He didn’t even realize he was crying.
His vision blurred, his face became wet, and his breathing turned uneven and rushed.
Before Maya could even step forward, she saw his knees weaken. He stumbled toward her.

He cried so hard that his whole body was trembling and he was unable to say a single word.
At that moment, all hesitation, all restraint, all calm and control became meaningless.
The moment he saw her, his knees gave out. He rushed forward and hugged Maya tightly, crying so hard, so painfully.
We were separated for years….
And reunited today.
How should I greet you?
With silence…
With tears…
The original lines are from the poem “When We Two Parted” by the British Romantic poet George Gordon Byron.
If I should meet thee, after long years, how should I greet thee? With silence and tears.
Maya crouched down and held him tightly.
He looked so pitiful.
He didn’t make a single sound. If the clothes on her chest hadn’t turned wet, she might have thought he was just resting his face against her without any reaction.
He was crying silently.
The kind of crying that was so suppressed, he didn’t even dare make a sound.
Maya’s heart twisted painfully.
“You…”
It was fine while she stayed quiet, but once she spoke, her voice sounded a bit raspy too.
However, Maya’s emotions were much calmer. She wasn’t as broken as he was. She quietly reached out to hold him and pulled him into her arms.
The two of them stayed very close.
At that moment, Lawrence was like a fragile vine, clinging tightly to her, wrapping around her as if drawing the strength he needed to live from her.
That longing and dependence, which had been bottled up for who knows how long, were so strong that Maya was stunned for a moment.
She gently bit her lip, holding back the urge to cry with him. She knew she couldn’t lose control.

Chapter 141 Seeing Double
Because Lawrence now looked far more broken than she was.
She had to stay calm.
The girl raised her hand and gently patted his back, again and again.
It was very soft, like she was comforting a scared little animal.
“Lawrence…”
She called his name softly.
He was so skinny.
86
When they were little, he clearly still had some baby fat. He had round eyes and an innocent look, like a soft little bun.
But now, as she held him, through the thin suit, she could feel the sharp bones of his shoulder blades.
He was so skinny it made her heart ache.
He lifted his head and looked at her. Tears kept falling uncontrollably, sliding down his face and dripping onto the back of her hand.
“I… I…”
He tried to say something, stumbling over his words.
He had promised himself to stay calm.
He had clearly promised to be like an adult and protect her.
But his tears just wouldn’t listen.
He held onto her tightly, as if using all his strength.
He wanted nothing more than to wrap his entire self around her.
Lawrence sobbed and cried, unable to finish a single sentence.
Maya didn’t rush him.
She just held him quietly, gently patting his back, waiting for him to calm down on his own.
Maya’s eyes were red too.
But she wasn’t as completely broken as he was.
At this moment, Maya really looked like an older sister.
Her expression was calm and gentle.

Chapter 141 Seeing Double
Toby stood at the door.
Alfred stood beside him.
Toby felt that he shouldn’t be at the door right now, but rather under the bed. To him, this scene of deep sibling love wasn’t touching at all.
Two identical faces…
The same amber eyes, the same shape of the brows and eyes. One was crying his heart out, while the other held him with red eyes.
Standing together, they looked like reflections in a mirror.
Toby simply couldn’t believe it.
Why did there have to be two of the same face in the world?
He had already been very unhappy when he saw Maya and Annie hugging earlier-he rarely even got to hug Maya.
