Chapter 24 It All Felt Real
How much time does it truly signify?
Is it an hour, a day, a month, or a year?
Lysander remained uncertain about the duration it would take for Josiah to recover. After more than two decades of yearning, his beloved was finally reunited with him. The reunion of broken souls and the fulfillment of desires should quickly overshadow the matters concerning the child.
Life’s four greatest joys included the wedding night, the success of exams, relief after a long drought, and meeting an old friend in a distant place.
Among these. Josiah had experienced two and a half of them simultaneously.
With a flourishing career and a blissful love life, this period undoubtedly constituted the happiest time
in his life.
Regarding that child-or rather, the fertilized egg-it was a minuscule regret in his thirty-one years of life.
With his beloved woman by his side. he would have his own children in the future. Given the Guerra family’s modest size, they might even expand it further.
With children around and a loving wife by his side, his good days were still ahead of him.
Daphne didn’t let her stay in a hotel; she brought her directly home.
Her parents had bought her a house early on. Although not too large, it was situated in the heart of Harborbrook in an upscale residential area that was both lively and peaceful.
As the first rays of morning sunlight streamed through the window, she stood by the window. gazing outside.
It was the peak of late spring, a time when the neighborhood trees were at their most vibrant and full of life.
A boy in a school uniform stood downstairs, picking up a pebble from the ground and hurling it with force until it struck the window of the girl’s room.
The girl quickly ran out of the building entrance, standing before him with a cheerful smile and extending her hand toward him.
The boy unzipped his school uniform and retrieved a paper bag from inside. When he opened it, there were steaming hot buns inside.
He patted the back seat of his bike, and after the girl sit down, he gently pressed the pedal, and the bicycle slowly moved forward.
As the girl on the back seat savored the buns and hummed a tune, the breeze lifted her skirt and hair, as if even the air was aware of her happiness.

Chapter 24 It All Felt Real
Such was the nature of the world.
One could have felt the agony of impending doom, as if the sky were collapsing, suffocating under an oppressive cloud. Yet, beyond the personal turmoil, the external world retained its luminosity and cheerfulness.
The sun shone as brilliantly as ever, birds sang their melodies, morning exercisers donned vibrant red dresses as they danced in the square, and elementary school students reveled in laughter during their journey to school.
Heartbreak could resemble this dichotomy. One might choose to approach it logically or put on a brave face in front of friends, pretending not to be affected. However, the emotions and grievances of heartbreak were still there and never diminished..
For over three years, spanning more than a thousand days and nights, it all felt real.
Every single day was genuinely spent with him.
The songs were listened to together. The paths traversed side by side, the discussions shared, those tender words uttered in moments of passion-they occasionally sting like a needle, instantly. shattering the original good mood.
“It’s better to experience heartbreak later than earlier. Look at you now. Even though you’re feeling hurt inside, you can hold it in. Back then, I was just going through puberty; I couldn’t hold it in at all. If you hadn’t intervened, I might have jumped off the school building.” Daphne remarked.
