Such an unequal relationship would only increase each otherâs burden in the end!
They might as well cut it off now.
Time passed day by day, and Kyla went to the hospital frequently. Every time she visited him, she cherished their time together as it might become good memories for her to recall in the future.
They had too few good memories together.
âKyla, the doctor said I can be discharged tomorrow.â Martin Weiss told her the news as soon as she stepped into the ward.
Kyla froze. âTomorrow? How⦠How soon!â
By tomorrow, they would end things once and for all⦠The thought of it stung her heart.
âWhat happened? Why do you look so pale?â asked Martin Weiss.
âN-Nothing.â She forced a smile. âTime flies. Youâll be out of the hospital tomorrow.â
âDoes it? I think it passes slowly,â said Martin Weiss.
Mrs. Weiss, who was in the ward, looked at them and said, âWhy donât you two have a good chat? Iâll go out for a minute.â
Mrs. Weiss got up as she spoke. She looked at Kyla, hinting at her before leaving.
Kyla knew it was time for her to end everything! She would remember their brief time together for the rest of her life.
Taking a deep breath, Kyla placed the food containers on the table of his hospital bed as usual. Then, she opened them one by one to let him eat what she had cooked.
Martin Weiss ate the food. When he finally had the osmanthus rice porridge that Kyla made, he said, âYour osmanthus rice porridge is really good. Whenever I want to have it again, can you make it for me?â
Kyla was silent.
He said, âWhatâs the matter? Is it too much trouble to do this? If it is, then thereâs no need to-â
âMartin Weiss, didnât you say youâre waiting for my answer?â Kyla asked suddenly as she looked him straight in the eye. âI think I should be able to give you an answer now.â
Martin Weiss froze. Then, his face lit up. âYou want to answer me now?â
There was tension and expectation in his eyes. Eventually, it became intense affection. âKyla⦠will you start over with me and be a real married couple with me? I promise Iâll never let you down.
Iâll spend the rest of my life loving you and treating you well!â
She felt a soreness spreading in her heart.
The man really loved her, but⦠she was destined not to give him the answer he wanted.
âNo, I wonât.â She heard her voice say, and the soreness in her heart turned to pain.
Martin Weissâs expression changed instantly. The anticipation and love in his eyes turned to disbelief. It was as if he did not expect her to say no.
She had been⦠so gentle toward him, cooking for him every day. She was willing to hold his hand and accompany him to sleep⦠All these made him think she was willing to open her heart to him and that he had a place in her heart!
