Tiana Thorne felt guilty inside; no matter how much she wanted to be close to Linden Hawthorne, she didn't want to become his burden.
If worst came to worst, Linden might die because of her.
Thinking of all this, Tiana only felt the weight too heavy to bear.
In her past life, many causes and effects floated before her eyes, only to press the burden heavier and heavier.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you." Linden sighed, unsure of how to explain: "I just didn't want you to worry too much."
"But now that I know, my heart aches." Tiana gazed into his eyes: "Is there any difference?"
Linden softened, saying, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have hidden it from you. Please don't be mad at me."
The always aloof Linden was tender to the utmost in front of Tiana, not allowing her to feel even the slightest harm.
He felt guilty too because hiding this matter made her bear excessive distress.
Tiana's eyes were red, she didn't want Linden to see her tears, so she turned away.
