Chapter 1549
Silas ‘s fingers on his lap tightened slightly, clasping into his palm.
“The experts suggest that I go abroad for surgery,” he said, glancing at Edith standing nearby.
“After I finish the surgery, I will ask Miss Knight to assist me with rehabilitation therapy.”
Edith seemed to understand Sila s’s thoughts and nodded at Taya.
“Mr. Sterling and I have already discussed it. When he returns from surgery, I will be the one to assist
him.”
Taya’s gaze lingered on Sila s’s leg for a moment before shifting away.
“When and where will you have the surgery? Harper and I will visit you.”
The expression in Sila s’s eyes revealed darkness and uncertainty.

distracted taking care of you. Let’s wait until I come back, and then we can all be together as a family.”
‘m “family” drew a clear boundary, like going back to pup period, where siblings relied on each other
and enjoyed each other’s company. But as they grew up, they each went their separate ways,
maintaining a distance while still caring for each other. They occasionally met when they had the time,
and that’s what family meant.
Sila s’s unspoken words made Taya, who had been keeping her

Silas looked over at Camille standing nearby, and she reluctantly spoke up.
“Taya, don’t worry.”
Taya lowered her eyes slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and then slowly raised her clear gaze. As
she looked at the man in the wheelchair, a serene smile appeared on her face.
“Okay, I won’t miss your coming when you’re healthy after the
surgery.”
She had promised to give him a big gift when he could stand up
again.
me back healthy for your gift,” Silas nodded with a smile, waving goodbye to her.
“Goodbye, Taya.”
“Goodbye, Silas.”

As his sight became blurry, he couldn’t even see that graceful figure clearly, but he dared not blink,
afraid that tears would flow uncontrollably…
He had read many books when he was young, and he remembered the most profound line of poetry:
“It’s best not to meet, so there can be no love. It’s best not to know, so there can be no longing.”
At that time, he thought that he could understand the eight sufferings of life that Buddha spoke of: birth,
aging, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, encountering enemies, not getting what one wants,
and the five aggregates of grasping. Only then would his journey in this world not be in vain.
Now that he personally experienced the pain of separation and unfulfilled desires, he realized the ups
and downs and the heart-wrenching agony involved, and he wondered…
