Chapter 11 According to Konnor , Adeline had already returned to her hometown of Los Angeles , accompanied by Jonathan . When Christopher found Adeline , she was lying on a rocking chair with her eyes closed , basking in the sunlight . In front of her stood a thriving sycamore tree . Christopher walked up to Adeline , and compared to the Tree Burial Agreement , the living person before him made him breathe a sigh of relief . When Jonathan saw that the visitor was Christopher , although he was reluctant , he quietly gave the two of them some space . Christopher pulled Adeline into his arms , holding her tighter and tighter , until Adeline could barely breathe . " Come back with me , will you ? " After a long while , Christopher finally realized that the person he had longed for day and night seemed unresponsive in his embrace . " Christopher , have you hugged enough yet ? " " Addie , I ... " Adeline took a step back , putting distance between them . That single step seemed to carve an insurmountable chasm between the two . She looked at Christopher coldly , her gaze as indifferent as if she were looking at a stranger . " Christopher , have you forgotten ? We settled everything long ago . I ... no longer love you . " Hearing this , Christopher was stunned . Every word pierced his heart , and for the first time , a trace of fear appeared in his eyes . He bent his knees and knelt down . " Addie , I'm sorry . I know everything now . I misunderstood you before ... I'm sorry . " Christopher , you should go . Just like I said before , we owe each other nothing . " Hearing those words , Christopher could no longer hold back his tears . Love or not was secondary ; all he wanted was for her to live healthily , even if she no longer loved him . 0.00 % 06:38 Chapter 11 288 ( Vouchers Christopher deliberately tried to provoke Adeline with his words . " Owe each other nothing ? Addie , you should hate me . I deliberately befriended Francesca , who bullied you , trampled your dignity , and it was my fault that your brother lost his life . I betrayed the vows we made together . You should hate me . How can you not hate me ?" But no matter what Christopher said , he could not stir her emotions , nor awaken her will to live . " Christopher , back then , both of us had our difficulties . My brother couldn't find a match , and even if we dragged it out , it wouldn't have lasted long . Maybe it's true that people speak kindly before death . I don't care about anything else anymore . Go , don't disturb me . ' Afterwards , no matter what Christopher tried , Adeline's attitude remained unchanged . It wasn't until Jonathan told Adeline that after signing with the band, Christopher had bought out all the song copyrights and shelved all the members . Adeline found Christopher as he was packing his luggage . " Christopher , why do you keep clinging to me ? " Christopher looked at the stubborn woman he had cared about for so many years . " Adeline , the first time you gave up on me was for your brother's life , for family . The second time was for your friend's future , for so - called moral justice . The woman I love has never stood in my shoes or considered me . Adeline , do you want to save your friend ? Then listen to me and come back for treatment . " His tone was calm , but it was a complete threat . " Christopher ! You bastard ... " Adeline turned her head in anger , but when she saw him , her voice abruptly stopped . He stood with his back to the light , looking thin and haggard . Adeline knew that during this time , aside from persuading her , he had been running around everywhere , all for a sliver of hope . After a long time , Adeline closed her eyes and chose to follow her heart . She nodded , " Okay . " Under Christopher's arrangements , Adeline returned to the hospital for treatment . 32.35 % 06:38 Chapter 11 Countless nights , Christopher would stay up , watching the frail figure on the bed . 1288 ( Vouchers Until the specialist from Australia brought good news : after trying the new medication , the spread of cancer cells was halted . As Adeline's condition improved , she no longer wanted to stay in the suffocating hospital . When she asked to be discharged , Christopher did not object , but insisted she live under his watchful eye . Azure Cove Manor was newly renovated , and many of its arrangements matched the fantasies the two had shared about married life . When Adeline turned around , she saw both Jonathan and Christopher looking at her with burning eyes . But she could only pretend not to notice . She didn't want to burden anyone . She was unsure how long this borrowed life would last , and she couldn't make any promises . After her condition stabilized , Adeline began composing songs again . Perhaps having walked so close to death , her new lyrics and melodies brimmed with vitality and attracted widespread attention . When her health allowed , she began the band's tour . Christopher hid among the crowd , watching Adeline shine on stage , as if she had returned to her bright , sunny college days . But Jonathan , standing shoulder to shoulder with Adeline , always seemed to be an eyesore to him . The tour ended to a tidal wave of applause . After the performance , fans gathered at the exit to show their support , but instead of the earlier cheers , there was a buzz of discussion , and even a group of reporters rushed in .
