Chapter 338 - Enough is enough... (2/2)
Reaching over, he closed his eyes before he turned off the ventilator that had been keeping Wu Yue Xue alive. As he hugged Wu Yue Xue's body, Han Ye whispered, "We'll meet again, Yue Xue…"
Kai Xin could not take it anymore and she turned around to hug DX. She did not want this for Han Ye. She wanted Han Ye to keep having hope. If she was placed in the same situation as him, she doubted that she would ever be able to do it. Looking up at DX's face, she shook her head to get the idea out of her head. She did not even want to think of a possibility that he might be in the same situation as Wu Yue Xue.
Head Manager Han glanced at Kai Xin who was crying against DX's chest. In an attempt to comfort her, he said, "Ms. Zhen, it's time for him to move on...The best thing he could do for her is to let her move on as well…"
"It's so cruel…"
"It's much crueler to keep her alive. Both of them had been living half a life...But now, she can restart her life while he can pick up where he left…" said Head Manager Han softly as he looked at Han Ye and Wu Yue Xue.
"Let's give him some time…" murmured DX as he led Kai Xin out of the room.
Only Head Manager Han remained in the room with Han Ye as they waited for Wu Yue Xue's heart to stop moving. The sound from the heart rate monitor would haunt both of them for a long time to come. After a few minutes, her body buckled and rattled as it tried to cling to the very last of the oxygen that remained in the body.
When the heart rate monitor eventually went flat, Han Ye who had remained calm until then started to tear up. It was gradual. The frustration that had been kept in his heart for the past 10 years started to show its ugly self.
What started as a slow silent sob soon turned into a heart-wrenching cry with Han Ye pulling Wu Yue Xue into a tight hug. Her warm body that had always been colder than his was gradually losing the heat and he kept rubbing her back, all the while begging for her to breathe again and to show him a sign that she was still inside.
However, despite his pleas, her body remained limp.
"No! No! No!" cried Han Ye and he shouted. His warm body trembled against her cold lifeless body.
Head Manager Han could only watch on. Even though his face remained calm, he felt something uncomfortable in his heart.
.....
His screams could be heard by the people who were outside the ward. Kai Xin who was sitting outside the ward with DX sitting right next to her winced when he heard the loud piercing scream. With her forehead resting against his shoulder, she murmured, "It's unfair...Han Ye is such a good person…"
DX patted her head as he sighed. Even though they rarely talked about her, he knew that to Han Ye, Wu Yue Xue was someone who he could never replace. He wondered if Han Ye would be any different after this.
Glancing at Kai Xin, DX unconsciously wrapped his arm around her. He was never a religious person but he found himself asking inwardly, "God, how could you bring people together and then take them apart?"
