Chapter 137 - Overwhelming Moments (1/2)
Moments have the ability to spellbind. Those moments hold so many emotions and feelings that they leave us in a state where we're not even sure about what we really are feeling. But those feelings are unfretted. Happiness... Pain... Guilt... Surprise... Shame... Fear... All these emotions intermingled to create an overwhelming sense of emotions.
"Zelie!" Ye Jie called her name softly making her blink her eyes with an effort. Azalea tried to open her mouth to say something but her parched throat felt like needles were prickling it. Ye Jie noticed her struggle and poured her a glass of water and helped her take a sip with a straw. She felt the cold sensation of water gush down her body making a cooling sensation wash over her.
Ye Jie kept staring at her face when he saw her trying to lift her hand. He instantly held her hand in his own and didn't realize that a tear had betrayed his restraint and fell down on his cheek. "Ge," She tried to speak in her hoarse voice. "If you kept crying, how will I call you my strongest brother?"
Ye Jie smiled affectionately at her and wiped his tear. "Ge is just too happy to see you awake." He said. "Ge-Ge is really sorry. If I didn't leave that day-" He couldn't continue any further. He felt her fingers trying to press on his hand and lifted his eyes to look at her.
"Ge, I don't blame you for that," She took a pause and added, "Instead, I am so glad that it was I who got in that accident and not you." Ye Jie hugged her small delicate figure and didn't know what to say to her.
"I met your parents today." He told her.
"Ge they are your-" Before she could continue, Ye Jie interrupted her.
"Let's talk about it when you're absolutely fine." He caressed her cheek. "Sleep for a while. Ge will be right beside you." She nodded as fatigue was wearing her down. She closed her eyes to relax. Talking for just this much time was extremely difficult to her. But she needed to tell her brother that she never can blame him for anything. She needed to talk to him even more but her body didn't allow it.
At this moment, looking at her sleeping peacefully with a faint smile on her lips, Ye Jie felt relaxation engulf his heart. He felt at peace. He realized that there was no moment to describe beautiful moments, they were just beautiful. Because those moments have so many unforgettable memories and feelings that it's hard to describe them in words. These kinds of moments are meant to be cherished.
His phone's ring broke his daze and he answered the call to hear an anxious voice. "Ah Jie! Where are you? Are you alright?" He smiled when he heard the concern in Xu Mey's voice.
"Sorry to scare you like this, baby. I'm fine. Actually, I'm more than fine. I'm with Azalea. I'll come to pick you up in the evening." Xu Mey's heaved a sigh of relief when she heard his deep voice brimming with strange tranquility.
"I'll wait for you then." She replied and heard him softly humming. "Hmm."
He rubbed the back of Azalea's hand and whispered, "Get better soon, Zelie. I have to introduce you to your strange and a bit crazy sister-in-law. I promise you'll love her." He chuckled to himself. "I believe you'll be able to befriend her with your nature. She's an amazing person. Scary at times and adorable at other times." He sighed heavily. "Although I don't know much about her past; I still have fallen for her. She has given me the real sense of love and I couldn't help but loving her shattered self."
