Perhaps due to the fact that it had been so many years, we weren't able to distinguish whether our relationship was based on thesecular concept of love, or our mutual guilt over the years.
We couldn't let each other go due to the guilt in our hearts.
Hendrix woke up at night. The doctor changed his bandages and instructed me, saying, "It'll be extremely painful after theanesthesia wears off. The patient can't get out of the bed for now, you'll have to take note to change his urine bag and clean hisbody, in case he feels uncomfortable."
| nodded. | knew all of that. Thinking about it carefully, it was the first time for me to take care of Hendrix in so many years.He didn't really get sick much in the past, nor did he ever have any severe illnesses.
He was rather pitiful too. He had already safely gotten through half of his life, but he still had to deal with such an unforeseenincident.

| nodded and thanked her in a hushed voice.

He smiled, his lips curling upwards. Although his face was gaunt, he was still as handsome as before. He replied, "Don't worry,it's just a minor injury. It won't take long to recover."
| glared at him, my throat hurting a little as | said, "A serious injury?" He had almost lost his life and still said that it was a minorinjury. He really was taking his life for granted.
He smiled and said, "I'm thirsty." | really wanted to be an evil wife and make him suffer from thirst, but my heart softened when |looked into his eyes.

He saw it and could not help but sigh. He smiled and said, "Why do you have so many tears? Girls shouldn't cry so much,otherwise you'll get ugly easily.”
| glared at him and said in a choked voice, "I'm already disfigured, so how much uglier can | get? Hendrix, | don't need you tosacrifice yourself for me. | won't be grateful to you."
