Chapter 189: Remember Me
Late at night--
The bright moonlight falls on Sea of Stray Birds. Giant waves sweep through the rocks beside the
beach, making them even more sparkling and translucent. A young man holds a shlight and walks
barefoot on the edge of the beach.
The shlight sweeps across the stones. The man looks carefully and doesn''t let go of each stone. The
waves from time to time drown his feet.
Countless rocks are washed into various shapes by the waves.
Not the one he wants.
The man bends down and keeps scanning with his shlight for three hours. The cold wind blows the
corner of his shirt flying. Not long after, he begins to cough violently.
"Young Master!" Victor quietly appears from the darkness. He grabs John''s hand and says, "Go back.
I''ll help you find what you''re looking for."
"No, I must find it myself." John shakes off his hand and continues searching.
"You are weak... Why do you need to find such an unrealistic thing? Miss Lily is not worthy of you at
all." Victor frowns and follows him. He is worrying about John.
John turns around and ps him fiercely. He is vexed. "There is no ce for you to say that about her!
Even if the existence of the heart-shaped stone is just an illusionary legend, so what?"
"I must find that heart-shaped stone to prove that Lily and I will never part. I will hold her hand and tell
her that I love her and I want to marry her. I will not be afraid of anyone or anything."
"Young Master..."
"Fuck off!"
John ignores Victor and continues to search for stones.
Victor sighs and silently retreats to the side.
At 5:30 in the morning, when day slightly breaks, John, who has been searching the beach for seven
hours, finally sees a light pink stone amidst the rocks.
The man carefully picks up the stone and looks in the direction of the light.
The light pink stone is heart-shaped. It is transparent, but pink, like a human heart with love and
madness.
John smiles.
He has finally found the heart-shaped stone that indicates eternal love.
--
Lilyes out of the bedroom after washing up. She sees John already brewing coffee at the bar. He
is in white shirt and ck trousers, and wears a pair of sses. He looks elegant and refined.
She yawns and sayszily, "You are up so early?"
"Yes."
Although he hasn''t slept all night, he is still in high spirits, and because he finds what he wants, he
smiles faintly.
John can not only brew fragrant coffee, but also pull flowers. He is like a magician, quickly passes a
cup of coffee with a camellia to Lily.
Lily takes a sip and praises him.
John seems to be in a good mood, she supports her chin with her hand and asks curiously, "Why are
you so happy?"
"Because we are going to a ce I like today," John says.
Where he likes?
The car leaves to the suburbs. Soon after, it arrives at an ancient manor.
Lily opens the car door and gets off. Looking at it, it is full of pure white camellias. The fragrance is so
intoxicating that she is shocked, "Why are there camellias this season?"
And all the camellias are white.
"As long as someone spends time to take care of them, there will always be camellias in winter," John
smiles.
He holds Lily''s hand and walks into the camellia garden. Lily resists him but fails.
Well, as he likes.
Today is thest day. As long as night passes, she could leave.
"John, why do you like camellias so much?" Lily couldn''t help but ask, other than the green rose he
gave her that day on Ivy Road; she has never seen him take any other flowers.
"Because my mother likes it."
Feeling that her hand is stiffened, John looks at Lily and smiles, "It seems that when we were together,
I didn''t tell you about my mother, did I?"
Lily nods.
Indeed not. She only knows that he is a hybrid and that his mother is an ethnic Chinese.
John says gently, "My mother is gentle and kind, but I don''t remember her appearance. There are only
eighteen letters she left me."
"Every year on my birthday, I open one letter. When I read the letter, her gentle word makes me feel
that she is still by my side. Mother told me to be strong and never give up no matter what kind of blow I
encounter. Life will not be as good as it seems."
"Mother said that the love represented by roses is too much to bear, and camellias represent implicit
love, she wants her love to someone is pure."
Through John''s words, Lily can imagine how gentle, strong, and intelligent his mother should be.
Lily asks, "Then will shee back?"
"She''s dead."
Lily is stunned, and then whispers, "I''m sorry..."
"There''s no need to say sorry." John touches her hair. It is very soft, making him sentimental. "She left
before I was a month old. When I miss her, I''ll just read those letters."
Lily stealthily takes two steps back.
John looks at his empty palm and is disappointed for a few seconds. Then, he says, "Follow me for a

walk."
"Alright."
They slowly walk side by side in the flower bed.
From John''s words, Lily knows that he came to Hanchi a few months ago to buy the manor, and hire a
few servants and gardeners to take care of it.
Because his mother was also from Country Z, he wants to move his mother''s ashes here so that she
could return to her own country, but his father says that he would be buried with his mother after his
death and disagrees with him.
Afterwards, they enter the room.
The furnishings in the room are simple and give them a warm feeling.
"I want to live in here, cook with someone I like and bask in the sun. When it rains, I can run with her in
the rain. I want her to live as a child and rely on me," John says.
Lily thought of the Krislier family behind him, her red lips purses tightly.
People born in such arge family, especially the sessor, have to do many things. And their life
could not be decided by themselves.
He enjoys a leisurely life, but he couldn''t live free.
"Follow me."
John pulls Lily to the courtyard. The sun shines on them and it is warm.
He looks up with closed eyes and enjoys the sunshine. His tone is gentle, "Every time I stand in the
sunshine and feel the scorching heat, I always think that this world is too wonderful. There are
sunshine and people I miss."
"John, are you...?" Lily frowns.
Today, John is talkative. Some of his words make her feel that something is wrong.
Is it because of thest day?
John suddenly turns around and stretches out his hand to pull her into his arms, as if he is using all his
strength to hug her.
Lily is hugged tightly by him, almost unable to breathe.
"Darling, whether the memories I gave you are painful or beautiful, I hope you will remember them."
The man is so close to her ear and whispers, "You must remember me."
