Chapter 83. Love Can Conquer Any Pain

Alexander's POV

At night, we lie cuddling each other on the bed.

“Alexander, I’m ready to go back home. How long will we stay here alone?” She raises her head from my chest and enquires, breaking the peaceful silence.

“I can stay here with you forever, love.” A smile spreads across her face upon listening to my words.

“I know, Alexander, but I no longer want to escape from my fear. Even though the horrific memories may haunt me there, I want to face them and move on.” She explains.

I ask to confirm, as I can’t bear to see her in pain, “Are you truly prepared to return home?”

“Yes, I’m ready,” she nods with a smile. “And I found the strength to fight my fear because of you. I’m certain you’ll be there to support me if I break down.”

As she embraces me, I kiss her head, wrapping her in my arms. “I’m always there for you, Alice.”

I just hope everything goes right when we return home tomorrow.
