Chapter 1140: Chapter 596: Extra Story: The Moment I Left Your Life 1
He suddenly snatched away the paper crane she was folding, his dark eyes sharply fixing on her, "You stayed up all night just to make these damned papers?"
She replied with a smile, "I’ve already told you, they’re not just papers, they’re one thousand origami cranes..."
He grasped her hand, noticing the blisters on her fingertip, and his gaze darkened.
She quickly pulled her hand back, still smiling radiantly, "It doesn’t hurt... it doesn’t hurt... please stop bothering me, I’m almost finished."
As she spoke, she pushed him out of the room.
He suddenly grabbed her wrist, speaking coldly, "Stop messing with these damned things and come back to the room with me."
She suddenly broke free from him, "I’m not going back to the room, I’m almost done..."
"How could you put faith in such an absurd fairy tale!!"
"This isn’t a fairy tale, this is my belief. I trust that if I have absolute sincerity, fate will favor me," she said with hope.
He stepped forward, softening his tone, "Alice, be good... You haven’t slept all night, go rest for a bit."
She stepped forward to embrace him, playfully, "Bro... don’t worry about me, you have a battle to fight today, you’re the one who should be resting well... go back to the room!"
Saying this, she turned around to pick up the unfinished paper crane on the floor.
"If wishes worked like this, there wouldn’t be life, death, illness, and suffering in the world!!!" His cruel words burst forth.
Her spine trembled slightly as she bent down, and then she stood slowly upright.
He moved in front of her, firmly holding her shoulders, "Wake up... go to sleep!!"
Perhaps it was his shouting, but her eyes suddenly reddened, and tears gathered in her eyes...
Seeing her tears, he suddenly panicked, "Damn it, I’m not yelling at you, I just..."
Her voice interrupted him, choked with sobs, "I just want to give myself some belief that you’ll come out of the operating room safely..."
"I’m just so scared of the surgery tomorrow, I just..."
She clasped her head tightly, her voice difficult to escape due to choking up, "I just want to do something for you..."
He suddenly reached out, pulling her tightly into his embrace.
In his arms, she cried out loud, "I don’t want anything to happen to you, brother..."
He held her for a long while, his arm slightly trembling.
After who knows how long, he slowly let her go.
She lowered her head, like a child who had lost something, still sobbing.
He brushed the tears from her face, comforting her, "Silly, I won’t have any problems..."
She lifted her gaze, her eyes full of tears, "As long as you’re fine, I’ll do anything..."
He wrapped her in his arms again, kissing her forehead, "Okay, okay, if you want to fold them, fold them... but you must sleep for a while first."
She said firmly, "No, when morning comes you’ll have to undergo surgery, I must finish before dawn..."
"Silly, your intentions are known, fate will hear them..."
"I’m just afraid it won’t hear, that’s why I’m folding cranes tonight... I’m afraid if I wish too early, it will forget."
She still seemed like a child, naïve enough to evoke tenderness.
He shook his head, his throat blocked by something, unable to speak for a while.
She tried her best to smile, instead comforting him, "Bro... as long as I can finish folding these one thousand origami cranes, you’ll be alright..."
"You’re so silly..."
"You should go to sleep now..."
She pushed him out of the room.
When he wanted to go back inside, she had already locked the door.
He stood outside the room for a long time.
The dawn finally arrived.
In the study room’s ashtray, there were already a whole ashtray full of cigarette butts.
He leaned on the leather chair back, his face silent and somber.
His hand involuntarily trembled, and the cigarette slipped from his fingers...
He suddenly held his head, his entire body falling from the chair.
The pain was like a burning fire, spreading wantonly in his head...
He twisted on the floor, knocking over the chair...
"Ah――"
He was such a strong-willed person, yet at this moment he couldn’t resist the pain in his head.
The study was filled with all kinds of things he had knocked over...
"Brother..."
An excited voice called out.
It was Alice Robinson.
"Ah!!"
Alice screamed, her joy and excitement replaced by fear and screams, "Bro... bro... what’s wrong with you?"
Alice’s scream drew the attention of other waking servants in the villa.
"Miss Alice..."
Chester Robinson had already fallen into a coma from the pain.
She held Chester, losing her voice from crying, "Call an ambulance, quickly..."
