Chapter 817


    The sea breeze gently touched Bradley''s hospital gown, and he spread his arms, resembling a bird


    ready to take flight with the wind.


    Watching from a distance, Kevin thought Bradley might be contemting a romantic suicide. He


    hurried over and held his hand, speaking earnestly. "Bradley, are you thinking about ending your life


    over love?"


    Bradley''s deep eyes filled with confusion as he looked at Kevin, struggling to grasp reality. "Do I truly


    love Esther?"


    Kevin firmly stated, "You don''t love her."


    "What is love, then?"


    Kevin massaged his throbbing temples and solemnly said, "I''ve never experienced love, so I can''t say."


    Although Kevin had had a crush on a ssmate during his school days, he believed that genuine love


    meant never causing harm to the person you love.


    "You''ve never loved, so you can''t understand!" Bradley pushed Kevin away and approached a couple


    taking wedding photos. "Can you tell me what love is?"


    The couple looked puzzled, and Kevin caught up, asking them, "Please share your view of love with


    him."


    "For me, she''s my whole world. Her happiness is my happiness. Her smile brings joy to my face.


    "Love, for me, is the willingness to give her everything I have as long as she''s happy forever!"


    Coastal Highway 9''s roadside was filled with couples taking wedding photos.


    Bradley, still seeking answers, approached multiple couples, posing the same question: "What is love?"


    Each couple had a different perspective on love.


    Some described love as unwavering devotion.


    Others believed love meant being confident in one''smitment.


    A few saw love as enduring, like mountains and oceans.


    Some thought love was an evesting promise.


    Despite questioning numerous couples, Bradley couldn''t find the answer he sought.


    Kevin followed behind Bradley in silence, watching him with a touch of pity.

    At a time when Bradley couldn''t fathom love, he had encountered a girl who genuinely cared for and


    loved him. He hadn''t cherished her love and had even considered it a burden.


    Only after causing that girl immense pain and her disappearance from this world did he slowly grasp


    her goodness.


    But that girl... was now in a different realm, separated by life and death.


    Kevin stopped Bradley from interrupting more couples taking photos. "Bradley, given all that has


    happened, do you now understand what love is?


    "Even if you genuinely believe that you love Esther now, it''s toote for everything."


    Kevin gazed at the distant sea, where solitary sails dotted the water. In the far distance, seagulls


    soared above the sea.


    "She''s gone. Esther is gone."


    Kevin''s eyes welled with tears as he looked at Bradley, slowly uttering each word, "You''ve lost her


    forever.


    "Your dearest love is lost forever.


    "It''s the world''s ultimate punishment for you.


    "Perhaps in the future, other women may enter your life, but none will ever be Esther.


    "Perhaps there are those who resemble Esther, but they will never be her!"
