Scarlett's gaze was complex, her pupils seemed to compress a myriad of emotions as she stared at Ethan, a mix of unfamiliarity and familiarity blending together.

Ethan's heart thudded violently.

It was the first time he had seen such a complex mix of emotions in his aunt's eyes.

Everything was out in the open now, what choice would his aunt make?

The hospital room was very quiet, filled only with their heartbeats.

Suddenly.

Scarlett stepped forward, cupped his cheeks with both hands, and kissed him fiercely.

Their soft lips collided, and Ethan could smell the intoxicating, subtle fragrance of her body.

After a moment of stunned joy, Ethan thought, "Is this a 'yes'? Did I really succeed?"

But he pushed those surprising thoughts aside.

The goddess he had secretly adored since childhood was kissing him.
