She bent down and took one of Julia’s hands in hers, offering it to Bruce. Bruce thanked her, and then everyone saw the handsome and charming Best Actor slowly kneel down in front of the wheelchair.

Following that, he spoke.

The entire venue fell silent. Only his low and charming voice rang in their ears.

Bruce spoke English. Translated, he said—

“When I met you, you were only 16 years old. You were innocent and lively, like a child. You stood under a tree and looked up at the kite that had landed on it. So many boys walked past you, but you chose me to help.

The kite was stuck in the tree and also caused my heart to be stuck.

Julia, you fell asleep before I could ask you to marry me. Four years have passed since then.”

From his own pocket, Bruce took out a ring of pure gold. He held it up, his gaze soft and unrepentant. “Julia, I love you. Here, I, Bruce Victor Gibson, solemnly propose to you, Julia Rica Lawson.”

Bruce’s eyes were already glistening with tears. “You don’t know how to speak, but I know that you should be willing. From the moment you lost your blood behind my back in order to be with me, and from the moment you severed ties with the Lawson family, I swore that you would never leave my side for the rest of your life.”

More than ten years ago, when he heard from Xiao Li that Julia had publicly broken off the engagement and gone against the entire Lawson family in order to be with him, Bruce’s heart ached when he thought of how she had ended up needing blood and almost died.

He would never forget when he rushed to the hospital and saw Julia lying in a hospital bed, looking haggard and on the verge of death.

From that day on, Bruce swore that he would marry no one but her in this life.

Over the years, countless women had surrounded him, but Bruce had never been blinded by them. This was because he knew that no matter how beautiful those people were, no matter how pleasant their words of love were, no one was willing to lose their blood for him, a man who was not very rich.

“Look, even Death won’t be able to take you away from me.” Four years ago, Julia had undergone a second heart transplant. As it was second heart transplant, Julia had almost failed to survive it. Her heart had stopped beating on the operating bed.

Everyone had thought that she would die, but later on, her heart began to race again.

The surgery was finally completed. It went quite well, but Julia never regained consciousness.

She had become a vegetable.

For the past four years, Bruce had raised her in his house. In order to prevent the Lawson family from discovering the truth that she was still alive, Bruce had no choice but to put on a loving act with Xiao Li. In the past four years, every time there were reports that Xiao Li and Bruce had gone on a holiday somewhere, they would actually bring Julia along.

Those were all places Julia had hoped to visit, but never had the chance to.

Every time they arrived at a place, they would take two photographs there.

One was a photo of the three of them, and the other was of him and her.

Over the years, he had accompanied her to see many mountains and rivers, but he had not yet seen her wake up.

But it didn’t matter. Even if she didn’t wake up, he was willing to take care of her for the rest of his life. He would love her for the rest of his life.

As everyone knew, Bruce’s acting skills were good, but he had never taken on any passionate or romantic scenes. Everyone said that he didn’t understand love, and because he didn’t understand love, he couldn’t act in love. But at this moment, in front of everyone, they saw the glistening tears in Bruce’s eyes.

In the center of his tears, the image of Julia with her eyes closed was reflected. It was as if time had passed peacefully.

Bruce bent his head and kissed Julia’s fingers.

Releasing his grip, he looked up at Julia who was a sleeping beauty. “Julia, from this moment on, you will completely lose all ties with the Lawson family.” His words caused many people to frown, and some even began to whisper among themselves.

Bruce ignored all the noise. His tone was extremely pious. “I will replace your surname with mine. From now on, your name is not Julia Lawson. Your name is Julia Gibson.”

These words echoed in the hall.

There were also a few members of the Lawson family present at the banquet.

No matter how one looked at it, these words were mocking the Lawson family.

They looked a little embarrassed.

Bruce gently placed the ring on Julia’s finger. Then he kissed her forehead and said softly, “Wake up quickly. You promised to spend the rest of your life with me.”

Xiao Li stood behind Julia, facing Bruce.

She saw a few tears fall from the corner of Bruce’s eye, wetting Julia’s wedding gown.

Xiao Li’s heart ached. She turned her head and wanted to wipe her eyes. At this moment, a pure white hand towel was handed to her. Xiao Li was not in a hurry to take the hand towel. Instead, she glanced at the person who was handing it to her. Zhuang Long looked at her deeply, his expression unclear.

That gaze seemed to contain a ball of fire, yet it also seemed sweet.

Xiao Li was a little stunned.

Zhuang Long stuffed the handkerchief into her hand. Without saying anything else, he turned around and walked off stage to find a beautiful lady. He gave the lady a reserved smile and asked, “Attractive lady, do you have a pen in your bag? Preferably a black marker.”

Stunned, the lady blushed and said, “I don’t…” A thought struck her, and she said, “But my companion does.” With that, she lowered her head and said something to the lady beside her, who then took out a marker from her bag.

Zhuang Long took off the corsage and wrote the words “best man” on the hanging piece of cloth.

“Thank you.”

He put on the boutonniere and walked onto the stage, standing beside Xiao Li.

Everyone else was paying attention to Bruce and Julia’s interaction, but Fang Yusheng and the others were staring at Zhuang Long and Xiao Li. Seeing Zhuang Long wearing a corsage with the words “Best Man” written on it, and standing beside Xiao Li, everyone was very curious.

“This wedding is quite interesting.” These were Fang Zicheng’s words.

Hearing this, the adults nodded in agreement.

Did you think that this wedding would end after the wedding ceremony?

No!

The real show was yet to come!

Holding a glass of new champagne, Xiao Li walked onto the stage. Under the white dress, her alluring figure was so beautiful that one could not take their eyes off her. She picked up the microphone and began to speak.

“I’m sorry, everyone. I’m not the bride today.”

Below, no one spoke.

On stage, Xiao Li’s smile was elegant and charming. She raised her eyebrows, looking as charming as a vixen. The vixen snapped her fingers and said, “Julia is my biological sister. As she has been suffering from congenital heart disease since she was young, she doesn’t appear in public often. Therefore, everyone knows about Miss Clarice of the Lawson family, but not Julia.”
