Chapter 16
Izabe had been in love with Brett for 18 years carefully keeping this love in her heart as her little
pect that nobody knew about
tabe threw back he head andughed and cried. She suddenly reached out to Brett and before
she could touch him, the man in front of her stepped back in disgust and avoided her hand
abad to grasp at the nothingness in her empty outstretched hands, with raindrops falling cold on her
palms like every chilly touch seeping deep into her heart
In that moment, she felt so distant from Brett that it seemed like no matter how much time she spent
trying to mach him, he would always be out of reach, the the rain slipping through her fingers
She looked up at Brett’s cold expression and choked. “Brett, it hurts so much”
Pett only owned not beleving Izabe’s words in fact, afte so many years, Delt knew izabe very
well, he know she was afraid of pain and suffering but kneeling for half an hour wouldnt bill her
“trabe Hop being so dramatic You were just kneeling for half an hout, don’t worry, your dad will be
fine. You can stand up now”
Her body ached everywhere, as if needies pierced all over, but the worst pain came from her heart,
which seemed to have be rotten
Cabe till wasughing but her taughter looked worse than her crying
Brett couldn’t understand why she wasughing like this just annoyed him “Crazy bitch” he cursed,
reaching out to grab her arm, only to realize her body was as cold as ice
Herughter suddenly stopped, and as she swayed, he couldn’t catch her in time She fell sideways
like a rag doll, crashing into a puddle
trabe was notughing anymore lying limp and lifeless on the ground, eerily silent.
He mouth was open and a stream of blood dripped from her mouth, staining the water beneath her
face a searing red, unbearably bright and eye–catching
Seeing this Brett stiffened, feeling as if he’d been struck heavily his brainwas dizzy and his vision
also got blurry
Finally he reacted He picked her up, and despite being soaked in rain, she wasn’t much heavier
than before. Her face was so pale and he could see the tiny veins beneath her shin
“abe” he shouted, not even realizing how shaky and full of fear his own voice sounded.
Without wasting any time, he cared her fragile body and raced to his car
Liam, who was always quick to act, followed them and volunteered to drive
Izabey limp in Brett’s arms her long hair covering his chest like seaweed, her eyes shadowed
with pain as she looked at him, feeling heavier by the moment. She was afraid to close her eyes
afraid she would never wake up again, and she wanted to use thest of her strength to look at
Brett so she could etch his face into her mind
“Bre. Brett Did you know Izabe from 16 years ago really really liked you shed liked you for 16
years. And now she can’t anymore. “Her eyes filled with teargas she trembled and spoke
It was said that karma woulde for those who wrecked other people’s rtionships. She didn’t
believe it before, but now it hade for her
She hadn’t done anything temble She just loved someone too much, for 16 long years
Izab continued speaking incoherent words, telling him they known each other since 16 years
ago, though Brett could never remember seeing her back then

Her vision blurred, and darkness encroached as she could no longer see Brett’s conflicted
expression
She felt a sudden spasm in her chest, coughing out another mouthful of blood that soaked Brett’s
shirt
“Izabe, what’s wrong with you? Frantically. Brett tried to wipe the blood from her face, only to
smudge it more
Beads of sweat formed on his brow and panic filled his eyes as he realized for the first time how
fragile life could be. The lifeless Izabe in his arms seemed so close to death
Izabe trabe
Breft repeated her name in his head, refusing to admit he cared for her and insisting his panic was
simply due to she and Kaley’s same blood type
Everyone was shocked when Brett burst into the hospital, covered in blood, carrying izabe in his
arms. The doctor at the front desk called out with an inte and immediately a nurse wheeled in a
surgical cart
He was stopped outside the operating room, watching helplessly as the door closed. He felt his
heart tighten and an inexplicable fras ovee him.
His hands shaking, he couldn’t bring himself to push open the door, feeling lost and frightened like a
child stepping out into the world for the first time
The hospital was air–conditioned and cool and Brett was lost in thought, staring at the surgical
lights. The blood staining has shirt had been dried by the air conditioning, turning it into a dark red
blood clot that
smelled like rust.
A nurse nearby having never seen such a handsome man in real life approached him, speaking
soothingly. “Don’t worry, the patient will be fine
But it was as if Brett hadn’t heard her. He lowered his head and stared at the blood on his hands
and rubbed them together, watching as the dried fakes scattered in the air
It was only when he had moved that he noticed that not only was there blood on his hands, but his
shirt, pants, and arms. were all stuck with Izab’s blood
How did she have so much blood?
Brett suddenly felt a little cold he looked up at the ceiling, found that the air conditioning vents were
not far away, no wonder the “body” would be so “cold”
Inside the operating room
Izabey on the operating bed, her stomach constantly convulsing, and mouthful after mouthful of
blood came out of her mouth, soaking the bed sheets red
it hurt so much Tears rolled down her face, her brain was muddled and her body was in so much
pain that she lost consciousness She couldn’t even tell whether this was reality or a hallucination
Many images floated before her eyes like a walking light, the shadow of Brett, Brett who was angry,
Brett who was holding her, Brett who was calling her names, Brett who was pping her Brett who
was humiliating
One by one they turned into bubbles congested in the mind, and then little by little shattered, and
finally melted into a puddle of water to form thest picture
-It was Brett from sixteen years ago
Izabe cant remember clearly what Brett looked like sixteen years ago, but she vaguely
remembered that the young boy was a head taller than her, with a clean smile on his face, thin
arms, but having the strength beyond his age when he camed her makingther feel safe
That spring seven–year–old Izabe was left at the amusement park by Lucas and got lost. It was
Brett who found her and camed her back.
On the way Brett bought her a defiut, smiling andforting her, “Cry baby let me treat you to a
donut Its sweet, don’t cry anymore alright?”
She Look a bite, and got toe–the donut was sweet on the outside, but very sour inside. Yet, that
unique taste was the best taste she had ever had in her life, unforgettable till now
After returning home he broke out in a rash and was diagnosed with an allergy to the strawberry
filling in the donut
Since then, she nevel touched one again
She liked Bref, just like that allergy causing donut Knowing she couldn’t touch him, yet she
desperately went for it
Life is like a y, in a snap of suteen years, the once gentle boy became cold and ruthless, as if he
had changed into another person. He was no longer the one who would use donuts tofort hex
the Cry Baby
She gambled four years hoping Brett would love her hoping he would remember that time sixteen
years ago However, in the end, shur lost miserably
Her foolish infatuation was only her wishful thinking
“Not good, the patients oxygen saturation is dropping The situation is dangerous!
“The patient haste–stage stomach cancer. We must have the family sign the surgery agreement
and thetical condition notice Quick, get Dr. Felton toe over and do the emergency surgery
“Beep-” The equipment sent out cold and harsh sound
