Chapter 22
After she rejected Lucian, she once again concealed her identity and traveled around the world.
Over the past year, in every country she landed, she would always catch a glimpse of Lucian’s figure.
When she arrived in the UK, he sent her more than 200 red roses.
When she landed in the Netherlands, he sent her a hillside full of red tulips.
When she arrived in Russia, he even sent her countless daisies.
Anastasia buried his love deep in her heart, but she never dared to take that step forward.
Until one day, while she was walking on the streets of Australia, someone suddenly tried to rob her and even laid hands on her.
It was at that moment that Lucian appeared.
He quickly drove those people away, held the trembling Anastasia in his arms, and gently comforted her, saying, “Anna, don’t be afraid, I’ve always been here.”
Yes, after traveling through several countries, he had always been silently guarding her side.
Anastasia cried in his arms for a long time before she finally raised her tear–streaked face and choked out, “I wonder if it’s too late if I agree now?”
Lucian wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, curled his lips into a smile, and teased, “It’s too late. My mom said if you don’t agree soon, she’s going to break my legs.”
Anastasia instantly broke into a smile through her tears.
After that, the two of them returned to Switzerland, got married in a flash, and officially began living together.
Their days together were sweet, and Anastasia felt happy every single day.
With Lucian’s support, she even signed up for the International Violin Competition and won the championship in one go.
And she finally fulfilled the dream she had had since childhood.

It wasn’t until half a year later that she heard news about Edward again.

It was said that after he was hospitalized for taking a knife for Anastasia, he was diagnosed with
cancer.
His health declined day by day, and now he was living with the help of a ventilator. Even so, he still refused to leave Switzerland.
Elliott and Wendy, who were far away abroad, rushed him back home overnight when they heard the news, and brought Thomas to stay by their side and take care of him.
When his life was hanging by a thread, he still couldn’t let go.
Elliott called Anastasia, begging her to return home no matter what to see him one last time.
Anastasia agreed.
When she saw the emaciated Edward lying in the hospital bed, she was a little dazed.
At sixteen, he had driven away those who called her mute, protecting her without hesitation.
At eighteen, he was full of youthful spirit and told her that he liked her.
At twenty–one, he knelt before her and promised to spend a lifetime together, growing old side by side.

Anastasia felt a little sad, but soon, the baby in her belly kicked her, making her cry out in pain instinctively.
“Ouch.”
Seeing this, Lucian immediately knew it was the baby acting up again, and quickly told her to leave the room and not stay in the ward.
Anastasia touched her swollen belly and stuck out her tongue at him, saying, “Alright, honey, let’s go out together.”
However, what they didn’t know was that at the moment the door closed, a single tear fell from the corner of Edward’s eye.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded in the hospital room.
The heart monitor that had been placed beside him quickly turned into a straight line.
