Chapter 258

The members of the group chat that Kevin created were all people from Shawn's circle. I put down my phone and looked outside the window. It might rain later, for it was already gloomy outside. Exhausted, I closed my eyes and lay on the bed to sleep.

When I woke up, it was already 3.00PM.

I changed my clothes before going to the city to visit May.

By the time I arrived in the city, it was already quite late. When I reached the hospital and found May's ward, she was staring blankly out the window.

As I entered, I asked her, "What's on your mind?"

She pocketed her gaze and looked at me. I went over to sit beside her, and she reached out her hand, wanting to hold mine. At this moment, I realized she was feeling a little down, so I held her hand full of scars and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm scared that Rudy will divorce me." She had said something similar last night.

I comforted her, "He won't."

Hearing that, she explained in an upset tone, "The day before yesterday, I argued with him because of his fiancée's matter. After the argument, his fiancée asked me out, and you know what happened after that. That night, I didn't dare confront him about seeing him that afternoon… It's not that I didn't want to say it; I just didn't dare to do so, for I found a divorce agreement in his drawer before this!"

Fear was written all over her scarred face, and her eyes had no radiance in them at all. As she held my hand tightly, she said while crying, "I'm terrified that he'll ask me to split up with him. If this happened earlier on, I'd have asked him to stay, but now… my face is ruined, and I have a torn meridian on my right hand. I can't draw anymore! Ree, I've become useless! I'm a useless person who doesn't deserve to be loved!"

May was so agitated at that moment, so I stood up and bent down to hug her. Then, I comforted her by saying, "Rudy won't do that. He's not that kind of frivolous man, and he won't cheat on you. He'll be by your side."

After that, she calmed down a little and suddenly stopped crying. She then said with obvious despair in her voice, "No one knows him better than I do."

Confused, I asked, "What?"

"Ree, I know how cruel he can be."

"That's not true. You didn't see how anxious he was yesterday. He waited for you for the whole time outside the operating room…"

Yet, she cut me off with a smile. "I'm sorry for making you worry."

I was startled when I heard that. "May…"

"Ree, grab tightly onto the person you love. Make him stay, even if it costs you your pride. Just don't let go of him." She was suddenly giving me advice.

I embraced her in my arms and comforted her softly, "May, the scars on my face can be removed, and so can yours! Also, technology nowadays is so advanced that it can even save me, this cancer patient, let alone the meridian on your wrist. Don't worry, I'll find the best doctor for you, and you'll recover in no time. Trust me!"

"Okay, I trust you," she replied.

"Don't worry. Rudy won't cheat on you, or I won't forgive him myself! We will get the happiness we want, May!"

"Sure. I believe you," she said she believed me twice in apathy.

I left the hospital after spending two hours with her. In the meantime, Rudy didn't show up at all.

Rain was pouring in Bryxton again. I stood at the hospital entrance for some time before Joseph opened an umbrella above me. Then, he asked, "Are you going home, Miss?"

















































"Let's go back to the apartment," I said.

It was already 8.00PM when I arrived at the apartment, and Shawn was still waiting for me. He said that he would wait for one night, and that included tomorrow morning.

I had been on tenterhooks since I returned to the apartment. After I finished the dinner that Joseph bought me, I stood at the entrance while hesitating.

I wanted to go see him, but I didn't dare do so. No one was giving me the push!

Just then, I miraculously received a call from Florence. Shocked, I asked her, "What's the matter, Florence?"

"Your mom called me just now."

Her voice was so gentle and soft that it made people comfortable listening to her. I leaned against the door frame and asked, "Did my mom call you to talk about me?"

She has talked about me, or else Florence won't even think of calling me. She's pretty happy with Clair for the past two years since it has been a long time since I last heard her complaining about him.

"Yeah, she thinks you're afraid of something because you didn't go home for New Year. She knows you well. She immediately connected this to your relationship issues and suspected that something happened between you and Shawn."

I didn't know my mom's relationship with Florence was so good that she could discuss my relationship with Shawn with the woman.

In the end, I answered honestly, "Well, something did happen."

Hearing that, Florence asked me gently, "Do you want to talk to me about it?"

"My condition is worsening, so I don't want to drag him into this."

She understood what I meant right away. After being silent for some time, she said, "You and Shawn are going viral on the internet, so I was afraid of disturbing you even when I wanted to ask you about it. Ree, you used to love Nicholas so much that you were willing to die for him, but you chose Shawn after that. I can understand where you're coming from, for your brother was just like Nicholas. After that, I met another man too. Just when I wanted to choose him, he… I didn't cherish him at that time, and I still think about this now."

Previously, Florence mentioned the person she met after that had passed away. When I recalled this piece of information, I called her name gently, "Florence."

"Ree, you know what kind of man Shawn is better than I do. His world is full of danger that even he can't be sure whether his tomorrow or an accident will come first! As such, why are you so worried about your condition? I hope you can understand that this is not a reason for you to push him away, but a reason for him to get through this with you together. Cherish the man you love, Ree. Don't regret when you lose him."
