Love's New Bloom by Simone Hastings

Chapter 195 Why Is Your Hair White?

In the following two weeks, Erin and Roman encouraged each other and actively underwent their treatments as fellow burn patients.

Roman lived opposite Erin’s ward. The two wards had become something like a college dormitory for boys and girls. Whenever Erin wasn’t resting or undergoing treatment. Roman would visit her. The first thing he would ask after arriving was whether he’d disturbed her. Romant would only stay in her ward after getting her permission.

During those two weeks, the two of them talked about everything under the sun. Roman started trying to play games with her, not allowing her to have much time to herself so that she wouldn’t start getting lost in adverse thoughts that would hinder her recovery.

Half an hour ago, Roman and Erin had just finished their standard lunch together. The nurse had already taken away their meal trays. It was then Erin showed Roman the comic she’d drawn.

The comic depicted the story of an unfortunate woman who was abducted by a villain, had her child stolen from her, and was disfigured.

Upon seeing it, Roman felt heavy in his heart at first glance, but soon that oppressive feeling turned to one of optimism.

“Erin, I know that the woman in this comic is you. If you can publish it on a comic website and let it reach out to other unfortunate souls. I think it would have a positive impact. I personally think the experiences you’ve gone through and how you overcame them will be uplifting for others,” Roman said sincerely and gently, with a calm and even tone.

His words surprised Erin from the beginning. After patiently listening to him, she immediately said, “Roman, your suggestion is really great. Honestly, I became inspired when Paulo showed us that movie about cancer patients a week ago. While what we watched was a movie, the misfortunes that happened to me were real. So, I suddenly thought that if I could record all these emotional processes through drawing during my stay at the Garden of Eden, it would help pass time more bearably.”

Sparkles appeared in Erin’s eyes, making her whole being shine. A soft and gentle smile spread on her lips. “But Asa is still young, so I want to use simple comic drawings to make it understandable for him. I hope that when I see him in the future, he’ll understand why I

At the mention of her son, a rogue tear escaped the corner of her eye and slid down instantly, but her smile remained and her eyes were

Roman sat by her side. He then picked up the box he had brought into the ward from the floor and placed it on the table.
