The necklace was the token of love between Peter and his wife.
When he took his wife to the mall to shop for their wedding, they happened to see a promotional photo of the Ethereal Aqua Necklace of Love on a screen in the department store.
His wife stood in front of the screen and looked at the necklace for a long time.
Stars shone in her eyes, and he saw it all happen.
He loved his wife very much and understood her well. He knew that she was not a vain person.
The reason she was infatuated with the necklace was because the necklace symbolized a lifetime of never-ending love.
He knew that his wife loved him and wanted to grow old with him.
At that time, he began to inquire about the whereabouts of this necklace.
Through a friend in the jewelry industry, he found out that the designer of this necklace was Julia, an internationally renowned designer.
He went through great difficulties to track down Julia. Finally, he met her.
She turned out to be a young girl who, after hearing his story, actually sold him the necklace.
At the wedding with only the two of them present, he put the necklace on his wife.
They thought that their happy ending was just around the corner, but little did they know that she would fall ill shortly after.
"An hour ago, my husband gave me this necklace, saying you sold it because you needed money. I was disappointed when I heard that, which was why I asked my husband to take me to you. I didn't expect the misfortunes you have suffered over the years."
Freya looked at him with great sympathy.
She believed that she could not have misjudged him.
At that time, Peter was so sincere with love shining bright in his eyes when he talked about his wife.
A man like that did not deserve the necklace she designed if he would betray love for money.
Fortunately, there was another reason behind it all.
"My wife would definitely get mad if she knew I sold the necklace, so please help me keep it a secret."
Peter's sincere face was covered in stubble that hid his attractive features.
Freya nodded. "Don't worry, I will."
This was a man willing to sacrifice everything for love. Everything he did was to protect his wife. What was wrong with that?
After chatting for a while, Freya decided to accompany Peter to visit his wife.
Bradley naturally became their driver.
On the way, Freya learned from Peter that his wife's name was Mina Chadwick.
Mina was born with the illness, and she had undergone several heart bypass surgeries as a child. The doctors had even told her she might be at the end of her life multiple times.
Due to Mina's illness, her parents went bankrupt and ended up destitute.
Mina's mother could not bear the life anymore and chose to divorce Mina's mother so that she could marry someone else, leaving Mina to her father.
Later, Mina's father fell to his death while working at a construction site, leaving Mina orphaned.
Over the years, it was Peter who accompanied Mina.
The doctors initially said Mina would not live past the age of 18, but with Peter's attentive care, Mina safely passed that milestone.
However, shortly after the wedding, Mina suffered a heart attack and collapsed again.
Freya listened and felt a pang in her heart as her eyes turned red.
At that moment, Bradley reached out and gently grabbed her hand.
She looked up at him and smiled in a way that looked more pitiful than if she had been crying.
She used to think her own life was tragic enough. She did not expect there to be someone even more unfortunate than her.
The car slowly stopped in front of the hospital.
Peter led the two of them to Mina's room.
Bradley did not go in and waited in the hospital corridor.
When Freya entered the ward, the strong smell of disinfectant hit her nose.
The person in bed was thin and pale.
Peter walked over and smiled. "Mina, guess who's here?"
Even though he knew his wife could not hear him, he kept talking aloud.
"This is the internationally renowned designer, Julia. She's the girl who sold us the necklace."
He began to his usual routine.
After placing a thermal flask on the side table, he went to the bathroom fetch a towel soaked in warm water to carefully wipe Mina's hands.
"I made your favorite, seafood stew. Have some."
Peter seemed to have forgotten about Freya's presence as he tried to feed Mina.
Strangely enough, while she was in a coma, she still pursed her lips as if she was conscious.
Freya sat down beside Mina and quietly observing her.
After Peter was finished, she stepped forward to check Mina's pulse.
She immediately frowned.
Mina's pulse was very weak. She was in danger of getting worse at any moment.
She immediately sought out Mina's attending doctor to gain a rough understanding of Mina's condition.
"The patient's condition continues to deteriorate. In the past month, she has had repeated episodes. We have issued countless notices of her terminal condition, but they refused to sign anything or acknowledge it. We can only keep her alive as best as we can."
Freya thanked the doctor and returned to the ward.
Peter sat beside Mina, holding her hand and speaking to her in a very soft tone.
Despite Mina's lack of response, Peter did not stop talking.
He spoke of their childhood while Freya listened in. Eventually, tears rolled down her face.
Perhaps it was her crying that snapped Peter out of his memories. He slowly turned to looked at her apologetically.
"I'm sorry, Miss Julia, I forgot about you."
"It's okay." Freya waved her hand.
She turned away, took a tissue, and wiped away the tears on her face.
After composing herself, she turned back to smile at Peter and said, "Mr. Little, if you are willing, I suggest you transfer your wife to another hospital for treatment."
"Transfer to another hospital?" Peter's eyes went blank.
Mina had been in this hospital for over a year. Would she be able to adapt to a new hospital?
"I forgot to tell you. Not only can I design clothes and jewelry, but I am also a doctor," Freya said.
Peter was shocked to hear that.
"Miss Julia, are you joking with me?”
He could not believe it. This young girl in front of him is both the best designer in the world and a doctor?
"Am I joking?" Freya smiled, "Mr. Little, have you heard of Lexi, the famous doctor?"
"I have."
He was very familiar with Lexi.
When Mina was seriously ill, a friend had introduced him to Lexi, the famous doctor, in the capital. He had traveled to the capital several times just to ask Lexi to save Mina.
However, Lexi had already retired and refused to see any more patients.
Time after time, he was rejected. Still, he had never actually seen Lexi before.
He never expected that this young girl in front of him also know of the famous doctor Lexi.
"If I tell you that I am Lexi, would you believe me?"
Freya said this in a calm and composed manner with a blank look on her face.
As for Peter, his body trembled as he was frozen in place.
"I have my own clinic, and I also know a few modern doctors. If you trust me, I am willing to try to help with Mina's illness."
