Faded Love Chapter 5
But I had already finished my meal, while James had only taken a couple of bites. I was used to it. James slept in my room while I slept in my grandfather's room. In the middle of the night, I felt a burning pain in my knees and back. My head was also spinning. When I opened my eyes again, I saw a white ceiling and smelled strong disinfectant. I didn't think about why I was there. I just knew I was going to be late for work, and on my first day. I tiptoed to put on my shoes, afraid of waking James, who was still asleep. "Where are you going?" As I reached the door, James's sleepy voice called out. "I found a job and I'm going to be late," I replied honestly. "Don’t you know you have a fever?" James seemed somewhat displeased. Was it because I got sick and he had to pay for my medical expenses? "Don't worry, Mr. Gates. I'll pay you back for the medical expenses once I get my salary." I bowed sincerely before slipping out. Fortunately, I made it in time. T
Faded Love Chapter 6
There was a stir. My focus was on the dishes. It was all over. I had to pay for all of them. "What happened?" I heard James's voice from behind. I paused while picking up the broken pieces of the dishes, then lost my focus and accidentally cut myself. But I didn't feel any pain. I knew there would be something worse later. Sure enough, I heard Yasmin complaining sweetly to James from behind, "Jamesy, we originally wanted to put the past aside and reconcile with Nina, to catch up, but who knew..." She didn't finish her sentence, and another person continued, "Who knew she not only wouldn't appreciate it but also threw the dishes at Yasmin." They were really in sync. I nonchalantly picked up the pieces of the dishes from the ground. It looked like I was about to lose my job again. The manager rushed over and scolded me. I ended up giving all the money I had away, oh no, I still had two dollars left. Then I said sorry and left. With just two dolla

Then he hung up. After he hung up, I got beaten again. After that, I never called him again. Why was I coughing up blood? Because their whips often landed on my back, causing long-term injuries to my spleen and stomach. I saw James fall silent. I knew he didn't believe me again. I lowered my head and didn't ask him if he would send me back. If I went back this time, it would just end there. The people inside wouldn't care about life or death. I thought that after I got out, I would have a new life, but I was wrong. As long as I had anything to do with James, I couldn't find peace. The doctor called James outside, saying some test results had come out. James asked the doctor to give me a full check-up. The door opened from the outside, and James rushed in. He pulled back my blanket and my clothes. There was an ugly scar on my body. "Where's the kidney? I'm asking you a question, where's your kidney?" James's eyes were red, veins bulging on his forehead, stari

I moved my fingers, trying to wake James, who was leaning by the bed. He pressed down on my hand. It felt numb. "You're awake? How do you feel? You went into shock, you know?" I was already in shock. How would I know? But was this person really James? His beard was growing and his eyes were red. He was nothing like the aloof, refined, and composed James I knew. I wanted to speak, but I had no strength left. In the end, I gave up and just lay there. I let the doctors and James fuss over me. It turned out I had been asleep for four days. James had stayed by my side for four days. In the afternoon, the doctor removed my respirator. I could finally speak. "How long did the doctor say I have left?" I knew I didn’t have much time left. James paused in feeding me oat porridge, and after a while, he said, "Six months... maybe less." I showed a relieved smile. Great, I could see Grandpa again. "Lung cancer?" Though it was a question, I was s

The boy laughed. It would usually take me three to five minutes to make a pancake. I clumsily took six or seven minutes. The outer layer was crispy, but not burnt. However, he would probably get a sore throat after finishing this. "Do you want me to make you another one? You'll get a sore throat if you eat this." "No need." He took the already wrapped pancake from my hand and took a bite. "It's delicious! If you ask me, pancakes should be cooked to this degree to taste good, crispy on the outside." His praise made me smile broadly. "How much is it? You're not going to ask for an outrageous price, right?" The boy looked at me with wide eyes as if he had thought of something. "No, I said it's free, just as a good start." When the boy was leaving, he suddenly turned back and waved at me, saying, "Miss, my name is Jack Thomson." I watched him walk away, and in a daze, I realized how far away university felt. If I hadn't been so headstrong back then, I would have gra

"Miss, I'm back! I brought my classmates with me so they can try your pancakes too." It was Jack, the first person who bought my pancakes. I glanced at the two classmates behind him and nodded, acknowledging them. "What flavors do you want?" I asked them with a smile. I hadn't felt this happy in a long time. "Any will do. I'll take one of each to bring back for my roommates to try." His classmate stared at my pancakes. "How much is it? You didn't charge me last time, but this time you can't let me go for free, or I won't come back again." Well, I didn’t really say I was going to give him the pancakes for free. I still needed to pay back my debts. "A dollar each, but I only accept cash here. If you don't have cash, you'll have to go to the convenience store to get some." I pointed to the sign on my cart and the nearby convenience store. It stated that only cash was accepted. "Wait here, I'll be right back." I watched Jack walk away and sighed. ‘It’s great b

He hadn't finished speaking when I interrupted him. "I was just joking. The doctor said I'm doing great now."I really didn't want to lie to him with that cute face."Nina, you’ve learned to lie to me." He pretended to be dissatisfied as he looked at me, but still picked me up and spun me around twice."So can you agree to my request now?" The boy looked at me with eager eyes."Agree to what?" I blinked my eyes as I looked at him."Be my girlfriend," Jack said again."But I haven’t fully recovered yet. What if I relapse?""I don't care. I'll just make sure you're happy. When you're happy, your illness will get better." He hugged me tightly, acting all cute."Fine then, I’ll be your girlfriend." I wrapped my arms around him. There was nothing reluctant about it. I was the one who hesitated.As I held Jack's hand and prepared to head back, I saw James.He was watching us with red eyes.I hadn't seen him in two or three months. The last time was when Madam Gates passed away. Ja
