As she observed Loraine’s gloomy expression, a thought struck the
Little girl. She reached out and gently touched Loraine’s hair, sighing softly before breaking into a smile.
“Since you still like him, cherish him! It’s hard to meet a person you truly like. If you let him slip away because of
a misunderstanding, won't you regret it for the rest of your life?” The little girl continued earnestly, “Life is short.
An unexpected illness or accident can take it away in an instant. So, to avoid Lifelong regrets, you must cherish
what you have!”
Moved by the young girl's words, Loraine couldn't help but think of her parents. She nodded blankly, amazed at
the profound wisdom coming from someone so young.
The Little girl had spoken excitedly, revealing her pale, slender wrist from beneath her sleeve.

On her wrist, she wore an in-patient bracelet that displayed a Line of words: “Special Ward 505 Bed 1, Ariadna
Cruz.”
When Loraine saw those words, her eyes widened in surprise. Her mind immediately becflooded with
countless questions.
She was in an ordinary ward. Why was Ariadna there?

As far as Loraine knew, patients in special wards were usually those who were seriously ill...
Her heart skipped a beat. She had thought Ariadna had a common cold like she did, and hadn't expected her
condition to be so serious.
Noticing Loraine’s gaze, Ariadna quickly lowered her hand and covered the bracelet once more.
Loraine couldn't suppress her curiosity and concern, and bombarded
Ariadna with questions.
“Your nis Ariadna, right? You are supposed to be in Ward 55. Why are you here? Are you alright?”
Ariadna scratched her head and flashed a smile. “Oh, you caught me!
Please don’t tell on me. My room is so boring. | couldn't stand it anymore, so | snuck out. | just got transferred to
this hospital, so | wanted to take a Little walk!”
Amidst this wave of new information, Ariadna avoided saying a word about her illness. Instead, she just smiled
and smoothly changed the topic. “Miss, your fever has gone down. You can be discharged after taking this bottle

Loraine replied in a gentle voice, “Vagow is prosperous, with several beautiful attractions. I'll take you around
when you get better.”
A sense of longing gleamed in Ariadna’s eyes. It was as if she wanted to stretch her thin body out into the vast
world outside the window.
“Great. | hope so... | haven't been in good health since | was a child, and I've missed out on so much. | can’t go
to many places or do many things | want to do. Alas, what | regret most is that | can’t experience falling in love.”
Loraine’s heart sank. She had initially felt a wave of sadness engulfing her, however when she heard Ariadna’s
last sentence, she wasn’t sure whether to Laugh or cry.
“What's the use of falling in love? It only ruins the mood.”
Ariadna replied in a serious tone, “I know that love can hurt people, but there must also be ssweet and
tender moments to go along with it. I'd rather experience brilliance and unrestrained passion for a short while
than be filled with regret all the time. Right now, | can do nothing and feel nothing.”
