No Wife, No Life Chapter 270

In that world, Declan always taught her to love herself well.

It was through that world that Harper understood why so many people back home revered Declan. His abilities and spirit were always ahead of the rest.

Her father deserved that admiration.

"Dad told me he could actually hear what Alvina was saying."

She shook Caden's hand and continued, "He said he felt sorry for what he did to Alvina. And he also said I didn't have to forgive her, he just wanted me to make the right choices and be happy."

"He's always been gentle. I've never been loved and spoiled like this before. It's the first time I realized that this is what a father is, that fatherly love can be real. His love for me is like a towering mountain."

She seemed happy that Declan wouldn't force her to forgive Alvina.

Because it meant Declan cared about Alvina and also cared about her as his daughter.

Harper cupped Caden's face with her hands, her eyes crinkling with a smile. "Dad said he really appreciates you and wants to thank you for taking care of me. He said he definitely wants to meet you someday."

Caden held her hand, his voice gentle. "There's no need for Mr. Robinson to thank me. Isn't it my duty to take care of my love?"

"Right, that's what you should do."

Harper laughed again.

She couldn't help but smile whenever she saw Caden.

Anyone who saw this scene would know how deep their feelings were.

"What about Ms. Taylor?" Caden asked, "Was she good to you in that world?"

His question caught Harper off guard for a moment.

Was Alvina good to her?

In that world, she was very good. They depended on each other, and Alvina would always protect her, even when things got better. Alvina still loved and spoiled Harper.

Whatever she liked or wanted, Alvina would always make it happen.

In that world, she received double the love from both her father and mother.

It was like it filled the wounds she had suffered over the years, giving her a happy and fulfilling life.

That feeling was really good.

Those memories also made her realize that Alvina did care about her child. She just had many things beyond her control.

She buried her head in his chest, her voice muffled. "It's different."

It was different. No matter how good Alvina was in that world, it was still a virtual world. In the real world, Alvina hadn't made up for everything Harper had gone through.

She felt wronged and cared about it.

How could everything she had endured for so many years be completely changed by just one world?

She knew Caden would understand her meaning.

In fact, Caden did understand her.

She wasn't being unreasonable; she was just feeling wronged.

Caden caressed her hand. "It's okay. If you don't like her, we'll just have less contact with her. As long as you're happy, we'll do whatever you want."

"Okay." Harper nodded.

Harper knew Caden would always go along with her. She held his hand a bit tighter.

"By the way, what time is it now? How many days do we have until my appointment with Chloe?"

As expected, she got to the main point.

"You were supposed to wait a long time to wake up, but Manuel guessed you might be here, so he contacted Orion. Orion sped up the time flow, so there are still three days until your appointment. We still have time."

Harper finally felt relieved.

"Dad asked me to pass on a message to Alvina. After I see her, I'll head back with you."

Speaking of which, Harper asked, "Did they set you up with a medical team?"

The reason she came here was to get treatment for Caden.

"Orion's already got my treatment lined up."

Seeing her so anxious, Caden smiled.

"Ms. Taylor wasn't lying. They really can heal me. I can already feel pain in my legs. They said since my injury isn't too old, the treatment and rehab won't take too long."

He gently held her hand, his voice soft. "Harper, just wait a little longer. When I can stand up, I'll propose to you."

He wanted to wait until he could stand before proposing to Harper.

He didn't want Harper to marry him while he was still in a wheelchair. He couldn't bear to see others mock her for marrying a disabled man.

In his heart, they could mock him, but not Harper.

He always felt Harper was more important than himself.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to propose to me."

Harper smiled, her eyes sparkling.

After talking, Harper and Caden left the lab. As soon as they opened the door, they saw Orion waiting outside.

He was sitting on a bench, handling some work. Hearing the door open, he looked up.

Seeing Harper come out, his eyes couldn't hide his smile, but his gaze cooled a bit when it landed on Caden.

"Harper, are you sure you want to choose him?"

Orion was like Alvina, thinking that Caden wasn't good enough for Harper.

They both believed Harper deserved better.

Harper's hand rested on the wheelchair's armrest, her face devoid of any smile, instead showing a hint of sarcasm.

"Orion, I find you quite interesting."

"The relationship between us isn't that great. You were just raised by Alvina for so many years, not really my brother in the true sense, so you don't have the right to question my choices."

Harper's tone was full of sarcasm, directly attacking him.

Orion understood Harper was doing this for Caden.

"Sorry, that was my mistake."

Orion didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled apologetically. "You just woke up and need to rest. Once you're well-rested, I'll take you to see Ms. Taylor. I guess you have something to say to her."

Harper did plan to rest before seeing Alvina.

To be honest, her feelings for Alvina were complicated now.

After sleeping for a day, Harper felt much better. Then she went to see Alvina.

At that moment, Alvina was lying on a beach chair, sunbathing. She seemed to be in a great mood, her eyebrows showing joy.

On the small table to her right was a freshly squeezed coconut juice.

This island had a year-round spring-like climate, and the breeze carried a hint of sea moisture, instantly relaxing the body and mind.

"You finally came."

Alvina sipped her coconut juice through a straw, raising an eyebrow as she turned to look at Harper.

She lazily got up and poured Harper a glass of coconut juice, concealing her current awkwardness.

"Orion said you had something to tell me. Go ahead, I'm listening."

Now, Alvina's attitude towards her was noticeably different. She seemed indulgent, as if no matter how Harper acted, she would let her be.

Harper lowered her eyes slightly. She didn't like this feeling. But maybe she was used to it, she accepted it unconsiciously.

"Dad is coming back soon. I saw him."
