'Love is an unexpected thing. Who can guess who will marry whom and meet whom. Who can read who will be entangled in what kind of shackles of love?'
*****
Your wife's health condition is very complicated. She was bleeding a lot. We know how you feel, but please watch your word! We are doctors. Life is not something we should play with. You tell us to choose, obviously we can't do that, neither Mrs. Anna nor the baby, and both are lives for us.
You yourself clearly know that your wife's condition doesn't allow her to get pregnant, so why can't you stop the pregnancy and make her condition really bad? Your wife's illness was not discovered recently, but has been for a long time, and I have warned you many times not to get pregnant, if you are really worried about your wife's condition, why don't you just wear protection? Then is it still appropriate to say we didn't work hard?"
Hearing that, Elvano felt like his heart was being stabbed by an arrow. Everything the doctor said was true. It was his fault from the start.
Instantly, he felt that he was not as strong as he imagined. Even now, his knees could not support his weak body. He fell to the ground. Shameless, he wailed there sadly, imagining the days he would spend without his beloved wife.
****...****
Knock knock....
The door was being knocked on countless times but the person inside was deafening himself. He didn't answer at all.
His personal secretary was tirelessly knocking on the door of the room. "President Caldwell, you have locked yourself up there for 3 days. You have to take care of Madam's funeral procession -"
This time, the person in the room replied, "I can't possibly bury my own wife." He couldn't do it! Ever since he got the news of his wife's death, he hadn't even seen her body.
"President, if you don't see Madam for the last time, she will definitely be very sad."
Madam would be sad!? Elvano seemed to hear the funniest jokes.
While looking up at his wife's beautiful face in a large picture frame in a beautiful white dress, Elvano exclaimed, "Anna, tell me, what do you want from me? Will you be sad if I don't bury you? So, have you ever thought about me? Don't you know, I might not be okay after you're gone, but why do you keep leaving me? Tell me, will burying you make you happy? Is that what you want? Anna… you don't love me at all!"
If she loved me, she should be willing to be patient! She didn't have to force herself to get pregnant. If she wasn't pregnant... maybe they were still together by now.
His tears fell again. No one could understand what he was feeling right now! The wound in his heart, the depth of which would not be measured by anyone!
"Anna, I can't prepare a grave for you. I can't put you down in that dark ground. I can't do that!!! Anna, may I keep you by my side? It's okay if you don't move. It's okay if you don't answer me. It's also okay if you don't want to open your eyes, as long as I can always see you, always talking to you, always by my side, that's more than enough. Anna, why did you choose your path to leave me?"
But he did not have the heart to do that to his wife. With limp steps, he followed his wife's funeral ceremony.
- A few days later -
"Sir, these are all the Madam's belongings that were left at the hospital."
"Keep it well in its place," Elvano replied lazily.
It had been a week since his wife left but the pain in his heart was increasing day by day. His new hobby now was drinking until he was drunk and falling asleep, smoking non-stop, and he didn't even eat. In fact, he was not someone who liked to drink alcohol, other than at banquets or when meeting with clients. Also, he was not an active smoker, only sometimes when his heart was down.
Worst of all, he pondered for a few minutes, then laughed and talked to himself, no different than someone who had lost his mind! He was not passionate about living his life anymore.
"Alright, Sir!" The servant would just do as instructed.
But suddenly, Elvano remembered that his wife did not like it when other people touched her personal belongings.
"Wait, just put it there, I'll tidy it up myself."
"Yes, Sir." Before the near-middle-aged maidservant left the room, she challenged herself to say, "Sir… Don't you want to see young master? The doctor said....he's been crying a lot lately. His condition-"
"Don't mention him in front of me if you don't want to get fired! I don't want to see the killer's face!" Elvano replied curtly!
"..."
The maid's name was Momo, people called her butler Momo. Hearing his superior's answer, her heart ached so much!
"Sir, if it's allowed, let me take a look at him."
Elvano didn't even glance at her, "Whatever. You can do anything to him, but make sure I don't see his face, Aunt Momo."
The middle-aged woman lit up. "Alright, Sir!"
After Momo's aunt left the room, Elvano's eagle-liked eyes immediately glanced at the bag she was carrying. He opened the bag and kissed his wife's clothes. He could clearly feel his wife's scent lingering there.
Until... A little thing came out of there, the pendrive!
He was reluctant to open it because he knew what it contained must be something unpleasant to look at. He could already be sure, that it was his wife's wish!
Last request? Huh! Was it necessary after making someone lose the world in their breath?
But Elvano still opened it!!!!
