Female Novel
Chapter 1786
Cindy couldn’t bear it anymore, so she turned and left the ward. No matter how indifferent people mightact regarding death, it was still the most difficult thing to face.
She wandered until she saw a window. Standing beside it, she then opened it to let in the chilly wind.The weather wasn’t the best, and depressing enough, it was even drizzling. Still, the rain hadfreshened up the mood. She stood there for a while before Aurora joined her.
Aurora walked to her side and sighed. “You can’t handle such scenes, huh? Me neither. This isn’t myfirst encounter with someone leaving the world, so I thought I could deal with these things calmly. Butnow, I guess I still can’t get over it.”
She didn’t love Bryce anymore, and she no longer had feelings for him. However, she still felt sorrowfulin the face of Bryce’s death. Perhaps this was the feeling of compassion that all humans shared.
Even if it were a stranger lying on the bed, Aurora would still be upset when she saw them ill. After awhile, she continued, “Maybe if you experience it a few more times in the future, you might cope betterthan I do. No one can avoid these things, after all.”
Cindy waited for a while. “I’ve experienced such situations before. My dad left when I was in college,and I was by his side all the time.” novelbin
Aurora was a little surprised, for Cindy never mentioned anything about her own family before this. Shedidn’t know that Cindy had faced such situations before.
Cindy didn’t want to talk about this at first, but when she started talking, her words wouldn’t stop
coming, so she poured her heart out.
“Back then, my dad was bedridden with a serious illness. I had a disagreement with my mom, whodidn’t want to waste money and part with my dad in the end as well, so she wanted to stop thetreatment. I objected to it; I couldn’t accept her way of thinking. I thought that even if we fell intopoverty, we should still try to save my dad.”
Cindy’s relationship with Hazel was at its worst during that period of time. She was studying in a townaway from home, so she only contacted Hazel via phone calls.
They also argued a lot because of their differing opinions, and in the end, Cindy even stopped pickingup calls from Hazel.
After that, Anthony was sent to the hospital to get various treatments and try different medications, buthe never recovered. Instead, he was tortured beyond imagination.
When Cindy went home for the holidays, she almost couldn’t recognize her own father. Anthony wasn’tin good health from the start, and he could barely endure the side effects of chemotherapy.
Cindy refused to think too much about what happened in between. All in all, Anthony had suffered formore than ten months and still passed away in the end.
It was impossible to judge one based on one’s decisions because they themselves didn’t even know ifthey made the right choice.
For example, even Cindy herself couldn’t figure out if she had made the right choice by insisting onAnthony’s treatment despite knowing the odds.
Cindy reached up and wiped her tears. “So, what do you think? What is the right choice to make inthese situations?”
Now Cindy still had a sour relationship with Hazel, and she knew that it was caused mainly by theirdiffering opinions on Anthony’s illness. Even now, mentioning Anthony was a taboo between them. Assoon as Anthony was mentioned, they would begin to distance themselves from each other.
Aurora didn’t know what to do either. She just reached up and squeezed Cindy’s shoulder. “Any choicewould turn out to be the correct one. No matter what happened in the end, you’ll have to believe thatyou made the right choice.”
No one has the right to question anyone’s choice. Cindy turned around and leaned against thewindowsill, sighing without a reply.
They looked at the ward and saw doctors and nurses hurrying past them. They must’ve removedBryce’s life support. A while later, Cindy could hear weeping, which probably belonged to Sally.
Aurora couldn’t hold it in any longer as she said, “The last time we came here, he looked alright. Whowould’ve guessed that he would be gone in just a few days?”
With that, Aurora sighed. “Life is too fragile, so we really should treasure the present while it lasts.”
Cindy closed her eyes and let out a breath.
News of Bryce’s passing was sent out the next day, and it caused quite the uproar.
