Chapter 333 - Crush Her (1/2)

Have you ever experienced a feeling where you feel like someone is tearing your heart apart? Like there is so much agony that you would want to just shut yourself away.

But what happens when along with your heart, your mind is also giving up on you? Is it any less painful? Well, let me tell you... No!

The mind is a sensible part of us. Whenever we go through the agony of heartbreak, our mind would find ways to cheer us up. To simply glue our pieces together. Just to prepare us for the next heartbreak.

As Oscar Wilde once said, 'The heart was made to be broken.'

But when that mind gives up on us... What can a person do?

Because as far as we were told, our mind was supposed to keep us from falling.

The anguish in Xu Mey was far worse than one could describe in words. She didn't even know whether to laugh or cry?

The biggest happiness of her life and the worst trauma of her life, both had knocked on her door on the same day.

Was she supposed to laugh because she was going to become a mother? The greatest gift a woman could ask for.

Or was she supposed to cry because her husband was fighting his battle with death?

She didn't know the answer when she stood up from the cold marble floor of the hospital corridor. In a robotic manner, she lifted her numb but heavy feet one step at a time to walk towards her Ah-Jie's room.

With each step, she felt her foot getting heavier as if she wouldn't be able to bear this burden anymore. As she slid open the door of the room beside her own, her hand on the cold metal handle trembled.

She didn't give up. Something inside was urging her to take a step ahead. Her heart was yearning to see her Ah-Jie. No matter how difficult it was, she had to see him at all costs.

But it didn't matter how much of strength she could muster up. Nothing could have prepared her for the sight before her eyes.

In the silent room, only the beeps of the machines could be heard. The room was spacious but lacked a touch of warmth just like her soul that felt cold and chilly. The walls were of a simple cream color. There were flowers, beautiful painting on the wall, leather chairs and a plasma screen tv on the wall.
