"I mean, you shouldn't fall in love with a policeman." Jay's eyes turned severe, adding, "You're a good girl, and you deserve a stable life."
She felt that she had been winded, and her eyes became soft. She got close to him and said sincerely, "I don't care, and I'm not afraid of that."
"But I care." Jay said seriously and continued, "Lilith, I can't make any promises to you. Even if we can be with each other, all I would bring you is endless worry."
Lilith was angry and stamped her foot, "But I said I am willing to bear all of this for you."
"Don't be silly. You still have a lot of choices to make, and you don't have to do this for me."
Lilith stood there motionlessly, with her lips compressed into a thin line, and gradually tears filled her eyes. Jay looked at her and opened the door of the office, saying resolutely, "It is time for you to go to work. Don't be late."
