Goodbye, My Love

Chapter 1116

Upon noticing the signs of fatigue under his eyes, Loraine was reminded of his persistent efforts the night before.

His initiative in reaching out to the research and development team of the surgical robot for her and his

transparency in sharing partnership details stirred both worry and affection within her.

Suddenly, her gaze Landed on his slightly crooked tie.

The impeccably groomed Marco wouldn't let such a minor detail slide unless he had spent the entire night

working tirelessly on her account.

Loraine was reminded of their early married life when she would help him get dressed.

Spontaneously, she reached up to adjust his tie.

Caught off guard, Marco instinctively tilted his head down to allow her access. In that moment, their eyes

connected.

As Loraine caught sight of his subtle gesture, astonishment washed over her, leaving her just as stunned as

Marco.

Coughing to mask her surprise, she quickly averted her eyes and was about to pull her hand back. She hastily

defended her actions, “Don’t misunderstand. | just didn’t want you to be the butt of jokes at the office.”

Yet, Marco held her hand firmly. After a slight struggle, Loraine ceased her attempts to withdraw.

The mood was hazy. Anticipation tingled within her, but its source was unclear.

Her heart played an accelerating rhythm while Marco's face loomed closer, and without realizing it, Loraine’s

breath caught in her chest.

However, Marco cto a halt just inches away. He gently took hold of her hand and guided it to rest upon his

right chest.

A robust heartbeat thrummed beneath his chest.

“Loraine,” Marco called out in a raspy voice, his tone filled with solemnity. “I promise, starting now, | will Love

you wholeheartedly and ensure that sorrow never finds its way to you again. ALL | ask is a chance, a single

chance for us to rebuild...”

The sudden declaration left Loraine dumbfounded. She struggled to grasp the meaning behind his unexpected

proclamation.

Yet, her heart pulsed erratically. She couldn't deny that his words stirred something within her.

Could they truly find a way to start over?

Her uncertainty teetered on the brink of affirmation when an abrasive ringtone shattered the moment.

Reality crashed back onto Loraine.

A frown creased Marco’s brow as he dismissed the call without even a glance, yet the persistence of the ringtone

lingered.

“Answer it. What if it’s something important?” Loraine inhaled deeply, centering herself.

A deeper frown etched into Marco's face at the sight of an unfamiliar foreign number. He threw an apologetic

look at Loraine and accepted the call.

Their proximity was such that the silence in the study was deafening.
