With that, Zayne led Angeline into the psychology department’s waiting room carefully. Perhaps her beauty had attracted everyone’s attention, or perhaps it was the exclamation made by the medical staff in the waiting room, so everyone turned to look at Angeline.Jay raised his eyelids and was slightly surprised when he saw Angeline.Today, she was wearing a white lace shirt with a pink organza maxi skirt, making her look exceptionally fresh and pure.His heart started pounding for some reason.Jay shifted his gaze and mocked himself in his heart. ‘You’re a married man. How can you have feelings for another woman?’Jay was struggling to escape from Angeline, but his plans were disrupted by Zayne.“Mr. Ben."Jay had no choice but to turn his head around. At this moment, Zayne brought Angeline over and stood closer to him.He could smell the faint scent of roses on Angeline. It carried the scent of love, intoxicating him a little.Zayne put on an awkward expression and said, "Mr.
“When you cross the river to the underworld, I’ll be waiting for you on the road to the netherworld. If you’re not here, then pick a red spider lily and I’ll be there.”Jay said with a frown, “The first sentence is pretty easy to understand, though I don’t understand why you would write the second part? Isn’t it an ill omen to separate lovers by death?”“In my youth, I had no idea what grief and woe were, so I wrote a song while pretending to be sad, yet unknowingly, the lyrics written by my young, frivolous, and ignorant self actually came true.”“It came true?” Jay let out an obscure smile.She must have said the wrong thing by mistake, right?How could anyone come back to life after death?Even if one had reincarnated, would one still remember one’s lover in the last life?Despite that, Angeline raised her eyelids that were filled with certainty. "Yes, everything that happened in the end actually came true as written in Red Spider Lily’s lyrics."She emphasized again in an u
The doctor performed a comprehensive examination on Angeline's eyes but did not detect any organic changes. With that, he came to a regretful conclusion. "Ms. Severe, if you can't control your emotions properly and continue to place yourself in a state of anxiety and depression all the time, your somatic disorder will become more and more serious. As it turns out, your intermittent vision loss this time has lasted much longer than the last. If medications aren’t taken to control it, I’m afraid you’ll become permanently blind.”"Take the medicine." The doctor suggested cautiously.Zayne looked solemn. "If she’s sick, then she should be treated. Please prescribe her the medicine, Doctor."The doctor said with some difficulty, "It's just… these drugs are nerve-suppressing drugs that have powerful side effects. For example, she’ll gain weight..."Angeline protested immediately. "I’m not taking it."She broke down and bolted out the door.Jaybie loved her face the most.He would not
Jay crumpled up the prescription. "It’s of no concern."Angeline felt greatly relieved. "That's good to hear."Jay brought Angeline to Zayne and persuaded him, saying, "If she doesn't want to take the medication, then it's up to her. Don’t you think it’s more important to see her happy?"Zayne dropped his head and sighed. "Emotions are the main cause of my sister's vision loss. If we can curb her anxiety and depression, then she might feel better quicker. But in the past few years, she has shed too many tears for my brother-in-law who died young, and that’s why…"Before he could finish his sentence, Angeline pinched him hard, extremely displeased that he had just called Jay ‘the brother-in-law who died young’.Zayne changed the subject and said, "Thanks for taking her around. We’ll be making a move now.""Mm." Jay nodded.Zayne held Angeline’s arm and left.When Jay watched the siblings leave, he could vaguely hear Zayne reprimanding Angeline, "I brought you to the hospital, bu
Seeing that he did not utter a single word even after she had reproached him for quite some time, Marilyn sat next to him and covered her face while weeping.She then started another round of self-pitying. "Oh, what a miserable life this is! I thought I could count on you to live a slightly better life, but here you are, acting so cold-hearted and indifferent. I put all my heart and soul into treating you kindly, yet I still can’t warm that heart of yours. We have been husband and wife for so many years, but you still refuse to sleep with me?”Her cries made Jay extremely distraught. "Should we get a divorce, Marilyn?"Marilyn's cries came to an abrupt stop.She widened her large eyes, glaring at Jay in horror and disbelief. "I knew it. You’re seeing someone out there. That’s why you’re all independent and ready to take off on your own, aren’t you? You’re trying to get rid of me so you can be with someone else, am I right?”Jay explained with a weak voice. "No. I just don’t want y
Marilyn put on an awkward expression. "Darling, you don’t actually need to tell me what your job entails or how much money you’re making. I… I…”Jay's hands were suspended in the air.Therefore, Marilyn took the card with both hands, the delight concealed in her eyes unable to escape Jay’s eyes.He explained to her. "It's not that I don't want to share it with you. I just want to use this money for something else."Marilyn let out an ‘oh’, but she still grasped onto the bank card tightly with no intention to give it back at all.Jay learned something from this. This woman's sense of security was maintained with money instead of with him.This realization made him somewhat unhappy."Take your time and practice then, darling. I'll wait for you in the bedroom." Marilyn stood up and smiled softly.Jay's eyes were condensed into ice. "Mm."Even though she showed him support for what he was doing, she did not really win his favor at all.Was she not looking forward to sleeping with
On the bench in a garden in the middle of the street, Jay sat forlornly as he stared at the cars and bustling crowd. He felt isolated from the world.He no longer had the power to keep fighting.He no longer had the power to keep on living.He was even starting to have doubts. What was it that motivated him to keep on living when he survived the car crash back then?Living was, to him, an extremely dull and boring thing.When it was about nine o'clock, he slowly made his way to Horizon Colors."Mr. Ben." On the balcony, Baby Zetty cried out with excitement and flailed her arms when she saw Jay.Jay raised his eyelids and saw Angeline and Baby Zetty wearing matching dresses—both of them looked like ethereal fairies.Both mother and daughter let out resplendent smiles when they stared at him.The heavy clouds hanging over Jay’s head seemingly dissipated and he gave them a knowing smile.Angeline and Baby Zetty bolted downstairs to greet him. The cold treatment Jay received from
If Marilyn could have at least one-tenth of that trust for him, then they would not have had such a childish argument last night.After hiding for a very long time, Baby Zetty thought that Daddy would probably start suspecting if she continued to hide, hence she opened the kitchen door and walked out naturally."Let’s go to the piano room, Mr. Ben. Mommy wants to hear you play Red Spider Lily.”“Mm." Jay stood up.Baby Zetty walked over and held Mommy's hand tenderly. When they went upstairs, she reminded Mommy constantly. “Steps, Mommy.”Jay followed behind them, fascinated by how soft and tender a daughter like Baby Zetty was.In the piano room.Baby Zetty pulled both Jay and Angeline onto the piano bench. She chirped with joy, saying, "Play Red Spider Lily, Mr. Ben. Listen, Mommy. Mr. Ben can play Red Spider Lily really well."Jay sat down next to Angeline unsuspectingly.His slender and beautiful fingers rested on the keys. Like a work of art, his well-defined bones were w
