When Qiong Xing saw him and seemed relieved before he closing his eyes again, Joa had been terrified that he might never wake up.
Thanks to Cari and the others, he had managed to keep himself together.
But inside, he had wanted to scream at his own helplessness for not being able to do anything.
"I love you too. You're precious to me. If you die, I won't be able to keep living either," Joa said quietly.
After losing Vita, Joa had almost lost his heart as well.
Qiong Xing was the one who had gently reached out his hand and saved him.
If he lost Qiong Xing too, then this time Joa would probably end his own life without hesitation.
"So please… don't die before me. While you were unconscious, I was so scared I couldn't stop shaking. When you woke up and I could hold you again, you have no idea how happy I was. And now you're telling me there's going to be a child… that's the greatest gift I could ever receive."
