My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 658 Francesca’s Strangeness

I wasn't expecting to see Francesca in such a critical condition when I arrived at the hospital.

Twenty minutes later, a couple arrived as well, and the nurse identified them as Francesca's parents. They were well-groomed and looked young, and they stood outside the emergency room for two hours.

Francesca was successfully saved, but it took her an hour to fully recover consciousness. I left the ward to give them some space, thinking she might want to talk to her parents.

My heart ached to see Francesca go from being unconscious and being rushed to the emergency room to now. I crouched by the door, sobbing quietly, when I heard Francesca say, "I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I lost in the end."

Her voice was so soft that I could barely hear it.

Francesca's mother cried, "How could this happen, Francesca? How did this happen to you after just a year of not seeing you? It's all my fault. I didn't stay by your side the entire time, and I even put a lot of pressure on you."

"Don't cry. Seeing you like this will make her sadder."

"Mom and Dad, thank you."

Despite his trembling voice, Francesca's father attempted to sound calm and asked, "What did the doctor say? Let's proceed with the surgery."

"But I don't want to live in such pain anymore."

I didn't have it in me to listen any further. I stood up and left for the restroom. After washing my face, I returned to Francesca's ward and saw that her parents were not there.

"Where are your parents?" I asked softly.

"I just convinced them to leave," Francesca said.

Sitting beside her, I questioned, "Are they okay with you being here by yourself?"

Francesca's face was pale as she responded, "They're not. They are very concerned about me, but they are aware that the longer they stay, the more anxious and depressed I will become. Ms. Felix, I appreciate you staying with me all this time."

We had known each other for two years. I always addressed her as Ms. Gant, and she always addressed me as Ms. Felix. But we both understood that our bond went beyond that of simple friends.

I held her cold hand and sorrowfully said, "I don't know what to say or how to advise you because I can't help with anything. However, I can assure you that if you decide to have surgery, I will make every effort to secure the necessary medical resources."

At this point, Francesca stared at me with fiery eyes.

I thought she was going to continue with the gloomy talk, but she brought up Leon. "Recently, we went on a trip that Leon paid for. That man has finally learned to save money. At first, I didn't want to go, but then I realized that I might only be a fleeting presence in Tammie's life. I want to spend the little time I have left with her and leave her with some wonderful memories."

When I heard this, my eyes began to water once more.

she'll resent me in the future, but I want to fulfill my responsibilities as a mother while I'm still alive. In addition to the inheritance the Gants will leave her, I have also saved a sum of money that will cover Tammie's living expenses for the rest of her life. Cash might lose value

on their way. She fell silent for a while before saying, "I've imagined Tammie's future and even set everything up accordingly. But I really want to live and be there for her as she ages
