Chapter 36 — Late Love You

When I went to the hospital to visit him again, everyone from the Pho family was present. They all looked at me with all sorts of expressions. I know, in their eyes, I am definitely a terrible sinner. Having been divorced and making him almost lose his life twice because of me, I was mentally prepared to stand in front of Pho's mother and receive a few slaps. But Pho's mother cried and hugged me: "His biggest wish is for you to live a good, happy life. Don't hate him, you must satisfy his wish..." I was surprised to hear that. Falling into her warm arms, I realized that everyone in the Pho family did not hate me for causing Pho Canh Tham to suffer like this, but they knew how precious I was to him. So they cannot utter a word of criticism against me. I finally couldn't hold back anymore, I put my head on Pho's mother's shoulder and sobbed.

“He won't die, right?”

“You definitely won't die, right?”

I spoke haphazardly, seeing everyone avoiding my eyes, seemingly not knowing how to answer me. The second time I was diagnosed, I wore the dress that Pho Canh Tham had only once praised as beautiful to the hospital. The consultation ended, the doctor came out to announce the results.

“Plant Man.”

After hearing this news, I held Pho's mother's hand tightly, took a deep breath and fainted. The scene was a scene of crying and wailing. I stood in place for a long time. A nurse walked over and looked at me curiously: "Is it Hua Ninh Chi?" I regained my composure and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Just now, while treating Mr. Pho, we saw that even though he was in a vegetative state, he still kept calling your name. Maybe you are very important to him."

My heart felt like it had been hit. I slowly walked to the door of the hospital room, hesitated for a long time before pushing the door open and entering. Just as they said, Pho Canh Tham had become a vegetable, lying on the bed with his eyes closed, seemingly never opening again. Next to him were a few items, including the diary that I threw into the water that he desperately picked up, now so wrinkled that no words could be read anymore. There's also the watch I gave him, a birthday gift I've spent years collecting my pocket money to make. In his sleep, he still called my name every single word, like a kind of obsession. I couldn't help but bend down and use a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He suddenly fell silent, as if he knew I had arrived. Plant people can also hear people talking. I reached out and gently held his hand.

“Don't be afraid, I'm here.” I said softly, "Rest well, receive good treatment, I believe you will definitely wake up."

"I have already decided. Lately work at the company is very busy, every week I will spend Saturday and Sunday visiting you. But I never thought I would be with you. Anyway, the past is over."

"Pho Canh Tham, I understand your feelings, I also understand that you can sacrifice everything for me. But if you miss it, there's no need to turn back."

"As long as you wake up, we will still be good friends. You are my lifelong benefactor. I will find a way to repay you for saving my life no matter what."

I faced him, talking over and over about my future plans. I couldn't have imagined that the final outcome between me and him would turn out like this. I'm still forever looking at you, but this time, even if you want to look at me, I can't see you anymore. His appearance let me know that there is still someone in this world worthy of my love. You are the beautiful dream of my entire youth, letting me know what it is like to love someone wholeheartedly. But now I don't love you anymore, it's also true.
