Chapter 1001

After dinner

Baillie and Paige were walking in the garden.

The summer night breeze was blowing slowly

Paige and Baillie were holding hands.

"Your family was pretty shocked about you getting hitched all of a sudden." Paige said slowly, "I overheard them talking, and even thought for a moment, did I put some kind of spell on you that you can't resist?"

"Hmm?" Baillie looked thoughtful, "So, is there something to that?"

"What?" Paige looked a bit confused.

"Can you cast spells?" Baillie asked.

Seeing her speechless expression, Baillie immediately burst into laughter. Paige couldn't help but join in the laughter.

Baillie pulled her into his arms.

"What did mom chat with you today?" Baillie asked.

Paige thought for a moment, looking at Baillie with hopeful eyes, "She said you were incredibly smart as a kid, even learned anatomy by reading books, and at five or six years old, you could perfectly dissect a frog!"

Baillie looked at her, appearing quite taken aback, "Don't you think that's a bit strange?"

He remembered the way his family looked at him after they found out he had dissected a frog, it was like they were looking at a monster, and at that time, he never understood why.

Later, his relatives burst into his 'secret base', paralyzed by fear of his actions. From then on, his family was afraid of him. That was when Baillie realized, his behavior might not be normal. From then on, Baillie started learning how to act normal, so people wouldn't look at him differently.

"Strange?" Paige blinked, "Did you dissect the frog to satisfy some sort of killing desire?"

Baillie immediately shook his head, "I just wanted to see if a frog's insides matched what was described in the books, and the frog I dissected was a dead one I bought from a vendor." He never explained this to anyone before.

"That's quite normal." Paige shrugged, "What's so weird about it?

Baillie looked at Paige. A moment later, he laughed, "Yeah, nothing strange about it!"

"But, it's a bit of a shame you didn't pursue medicine with that talent of yours." Paige looked at Baillie, feeling a bit regretful.

Baillie raised his hand, softly caressing Paige's cheek with his thumb, Looking back now, I don't really have any regrets."

"Why? Don't you like medicine anymore?" Paige asked.

Baillie shook his head, his gaze soft and warm like a clear spring, "If I had chosen medicine, I'd probably be buried in some medical school right now, studying hard. I wouldn't have met you."

In that case, he would have spent a boring 'normal' life. But now, Paige brought him peace. Being with her, he could feel many things he never felt before.

"Ah..." Paige's eyes welled up with tears, her lips slightly drooping, "I'm about to cry!"

Baillie laughed, "Why are you crying?"

"Your mother and sisters all think that I'm your salvation." Paige said while choking back sobs, then she looked at Baillie with teary eyes, "But in reality, you've been saving

me."

Before meeting Baillie, Paige always seemed radiant, but inside, she was already worn out

She understood, that in her beloved mother's heart, she was always the least important one. This made her suffer every day, but she still kept making excuses for her mother, trying to make herself feel better. She also knew, her relationship with Logan violated some sort of taboo.
