"Steven, this is the last time I'll meet you."
The voice of his embraced wife carried a trace of reluctance, yet it was unbelievably calm.
Steven took a deep breath and nodded firmly, his gaze gradually becoming resolute: "…Yes, it is the last time."
He knew that this really was the last time.
He knew his wife's soul was no longer strong enough to keep going.
He knew he couldn't indulge anymore, couldn't let their child live alone in the real world.
He had to wake up, find Teresa, and give her true companionship.
"I'm going to leave, to a world… without you."
Steven's voice carried a slight tremor, yet it was filled with determination.
And his wife looked at him, smiling as she said, "Take good care of our daughter."
"You can take risks, but always be well-prepared, your luck has always been strange."
"Don't seek out impure women! But if there's a suitable woman, don't hesitate, actively pursue her."
