Chris‘ smile did not wane. “I didn’t get you wrong at all.” But he was still

chuckling.

A while later, he finally stopped laughing. “Sorry for that.”

“It’s fine.” I’d been feeling awkward since what he’d said to Liam, and sitting

here in a place so romantic alone with him only made the awkwardness

grow.

Chris stopped smiling. “Have you gotten any new symptoms lately?

I asked, “How’d you know?

“Come on, tell me. Has your head started hurting?”

I nodded. It’s hurt twice now.”

Chris nodded. “Would you like to get treatment in the hospital?

I said, “No.”

Liam would know if I was hospitalized.

What different was having to lie in a hospital from dying?

“You’ll only get more and more symptoms,” Chris tried to say. “The headaches

are just the beginning. You’ll be able to get some support if you stay at the

hospital, you’ll feel a lot better.”

I said, “Is it like a hospice center?”

Chris nodded. “If you want, I can try hooking you up. You can stay at Saint

Jude… I’ll come visit you everyday.”

I shook my head.

Chris sighed. “I know you feel sad if I say it like that, but I’ve got to give you the

truth. I’ve sent a lot of patients off towards the end of their days. Do you know

what their last regrets were?

I asked, “What?

That they never lived for themselves,” Chris said. “You’ve still got a bit of time,

you can live for yourself.”

I asked, “Do you feel like I’m staying in the hospital because of him?”

Chris did not answer my question. “I’ve actually operated on his mother

before. Ms. Olsen went to see her all the time when she was in the hospital.

They’re pretty close.”

I said, “I’ve never met his mother.”

“She’s never brought you up, either,” Chris said. “That was two years ago.”

So Rina had been in the picture that long ago.

I said, “Oh No wonder you’re not scared of him.”

“Their family’s still pretty respectful of doctors, and my surgery was pretty

successful Chris mouth quirked up. I was surprised to replace out that you were

his wife, because I’d heard his mother say things along the lines of, ‘You’ll

marry into our family to Ms. Olsen before.”

I said, “Is he an only child?”

“Do you not even know that?” Chris said. “He’s one of three children. He’s got

two sisters.”

Do you not even know that?

He had a point…

I’d been married to him for three years, but didn’t even know that.

“I’m sorry,” Chris looked apologetic. “I’d hidden this from you for so long

because…

‘It’s fine,” I said. You’re a doctor, and i’m a patient. His mother’s considered a

patient too. We’ve all got a right to our privacy.”

“But I’ve told you now.” Chris looked at me tenderly. “It’s a huge waste for

someone to spend their entire life on being lovesick.”

I asked, “What wouldn’t be a waste to spend one’s life on, then?”

Chris said, “A better life that someone else can give you.”

I shook my head. “I feel like spending one’s entire life on what other people

think is right is a true waste of time.”

Chris stopped short, smiling. “Is that why I can’t sway you?”

I shook my head. “You’re right… do you have a contact? I’ll reach out to a

hospice center when I’m done with this.”

“I can reach out to them for you,” Chris said. “Just give me a call.”

I didn’t say anything.

The air was silent. Thankfully, the waiter came in with the food.

It was steak, on a beautiful plate with a mouth-watering aroma.

I cut into it, thinking about the cold cuts I’d had with Chris before.

To be honest, I still preferred hot meat to cold.

Anyway, Chris‘ colleague never showed up until after we were done eating.

He made a call to her after we came out of the restaurant. “She’s not done

yet, but you can come to the hospital with me to wait for her.”

I asked, “Is it Saint Jude?”

Chris laughed. “Of course not, silly. It’s the one closest to your house. You’d be

caught otherwise, wouldn’t you?”

Rinal” Yvette raised her voice.

Rina stopped talking.

At the same time, Liam took Yvette’s hand off him and stormed over.

I pushed Chris away hurriedly, trying to push him into the shop. There were

more people there, surely Liam would hold back.

But it was too late. Liam had stormed up to Chris, grabbing him by the collar

and landing a punch on his face.

Chris was around the same size as Liam, but he definitely had a weaker build.

He was also soft–spoken, and didn’t seem like the type of person to fight.

He stumbled backwards, too caught off–guard to retaliate.

I rushed over to stop Liam. “I was just talking to him, don’t hit…”

No one stopped me. I stopped talking myself.

Chapter

Despite Liam stopping, his bodyguards had come over. They began beating

Chris up, as if they were acting on an unspoken order.

How was this allowed…

I let go of Liam at once, trying to go over to help. But my arm was held down

firmly by a hand, dragging me back.

It was Liam.

He gripped my arm, staring at me coldly. If gazes had colors, his would be

gray and dull, like a raging winter. I felt like I was staring at a corpse.

I knew that I wouldn’t be able to talk him through. I saw Yvette by the car from

the corner of my eye, and shouted at once, “Ms. Yvette! He’s treated your

mother before…”

I hadn’t even finished my sentence.

Just as I was speaking, Rina opened the door and got into the car with Yvette.

This felt like a nightmare.

I looked over at Chris, and couldn’t see his head. All I could see from where I

was were his feet.

He was losing a shoe, and looked a total mess.

He did not let out a single sound, but the thuds and thumps that came from

hitting someone struck my chest, over and over again.

Towards the end, I never found out what happened to Chris. That was

because Liam dragged me into the car.

The entire journey was silent.

The snow was getting worse and worse. I returned to my senses, looking at

Liam.

“I’ve aborted the baby.“
