Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 252

"If by equally you mean to say to give you a chance in love, then you are mistaken again, Delyth," Ryan said, his tone firm, leaving no room for ambiguity. "To me, you have always been and will always be Zeke’s sister. Once your surgery is done and you recover, I will help you settle in Europe."

His tone carried a finality that Delyth knew she couldn’t challenge —not unless she succeeded in proving Arwen to be at fault. Hence, she smiled, keeping a bittersweet smile on her lips.

"Don’t worry, Ryan. I won’t refuse your decision. If that’s what you want, I will happily distance myself from you and go and settle in Europe. Not because I have stopped loving you but because I have understood my love is not enough to keep you with me."

Ryan nodded, feeling a wave of relief wash over him. He would have ensured sending Delyth by every means possible, but her compliance made the task considerably easier.

Checking his watch, he was prepared to leave, but just as he turned, Delyth’s voice halted him.

"But Ryan," she began softly, her tone tinged with hesitation. "I have a request."

Ryan’s brows jutted slightly in a frown. He wouldn’t have minded rejecting her request, but given that she accepted to move out of the country all easily, without throwing any tantrum, he decided to give her a chance.

"What do you want?" he asked.

And a soft smile lifted Delyth’s lips once again. Glancing down at her legs, she said, "I am ready to leave you for your happiness, I just want to return mine as well. I know you still think I don’t deserve it, but keeping me away in a foreign country away from you is enough of the punishment."

Ryan didn’t understand what she was asking for. "Delyth, say it clearly what are you asking for?"

"Ryan, I want to dance again," she said. "Dance is my passion and it has taken years of hard work to excel in the field. I don’t want to miss it. It would be my only means of happiness. Please help me recover it."

"That’s not possible," he said, not because he wanted her to suffer but because Dr. Walter had clearly said that her legs could never recover to dance again.

"Ryan, please. I am ready to leave. I won’t come to disturb you or Arwen again. Can you not promise me just one thing."

Ryan pinched the space between his brows. Keeping his eyes closed he said, "Delyth, although I want to punish you for whatever you have done to Arwen, Zeke’s promise is holding me back. So when I say that your legs can’t recover to dance, it doesn’t mean that I am stopping you from recovering. Rather it’s your medical condition. Dr. Walter has said very clearly that the surgery might revive your legs but you won’t be able to dance again."
