âAh!â She opened her eyes suddenly as she sat up. Then, she realized that she had a nightmare!
In the dream, she experienced the moment when Martin Weiss took her to the operating room.
However, Martin Weiss did not stop the operation but insisted on making her go through with it. The anesthesia needle went into her body. She wanted to struggle and escape, but her body could not move no matter whatâ¦
Fortunately⦠it was just a dream!
Kyla gasped and looked at her son sleeping next to her. Nelson was still sleeping soundly, undisturbed by her.
She got up and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, only to see Martin Weiss still leaning against the car from the kitchen window.
His posture was the same as earlier.
However, hours had passed since then!
Kyla held the cup tightly in her hand. After a long time, she finally put it down and walked toward the door.
When she opened the door, Martin Weiss seemed to hear her as he suddenly raised his head and looked toward the door. The next moment, he caught sight of her figure.
Martin Weissâs eyes somehow heated up.
He thought she would not look his way again even if she saw him standing outside, but she came out.
Kyla walked toward Martin Weiss step by step but stopped when she was three steps away from him.
Martin Weiss took a step forward, and Kyla took one step backward.
âDonât move. Just keep it at this distance!â said Kyla.
Gloom flashed across Martin Weissâs eyes. He stopped moving. âOkay, I wonât move!â
âWhat are you doing standing here in the middle of the night?â asked Kyla.
Martin Weiss muttered, âI⦠I didnât know where to go. I ended up here without knowing it. I did a lot of thinking as I stood here. Maybe youâre right. All this time, Iâve only been thinking about my feelings and not yours. I domineeringly decided everything without thinking about how much this decision would hurt you.â
He looked at her with pleading eyes. âKyla, will you forgive me? I know how ridiculous it is for me to ask you for forgiveness right now, but I just⦠I just love you too much to lose you!â
Even the mere thought of it made him tremble with fear.
Kyla bit her lip. After a long time, she said, âMartin Weiss, I donât think weâre suitable for each other. Itâs the same as before. You didnât force me to get the abortion in the end, so I can forgive you since you want me to. But I hope weâll stop getting involved with each other from now on. I donât want to⦠see you unless necessary.â
Martin Weiss felt as if he had been punched hard in his heart. It hurt so much. âDo you hate me that much? Even meetingâ¦â He tried to move toward her again.
However, she backed away as soon as he approached her. âDonât come over, Martin Weiss. I really donât want to see you. You know what? I just had another nightmare. I dreamed about what happened today. I dreamed about being pressed down on the operating table and being forced to undergo an operation. Youâre not me, and youâll never know how terrifying it is!â
His face was gloomy as he looked at the distance between them.
They were only three steps away from each other, but it seemed like a chasm. It was a distance he could never cross.
