Chapter 365 Rich Hot And Infertile Husband (Or Maybe Not)

• After some thought, Liam said, “Only when a person can protect himself can he be responsible for another life. Otherwise, it was nothing but empty words. I can tell you such perfunctory words as much as you want, but in a moment of crisis, I can’t guarantee what I will choose, because people’s instinctive reaction in a crisis is self–preservation.” After a pause, he said quietly, “I can’t be sure what my instinctive reaction would be, but even if it is to protect myself first, I’m still willing to live and die with you.”
• At first, Celeste was upset when she heard him choose self–protection first, but then she felt relieved. Liam wasn’t the type to make assumptions, his serious answer showed he had really thought about it. Once, she saw a video online of a car accident. An elderly couple’s car caught fire. The man managed to escape from the car, but the woman was trapped inside. The fire was so intense that the man couldn’t get the woman out.
• He was helpless and cried like a child outside, then made a resolute decision to go back into the burning car, eventually disappearing with the woman in the blaze. Could you say that just because the man didn’t save his loved one at first, he didn’t care about her? Escaping is instinct, but his deciding to go back into the fire was true love. Love yourself first, then love others – that was Liam’s view on love. If someone told her this before, she would think it was selfish and not true love. But now she thinks this view on love is healthy.
