Bye, My Irresistible Love

Charles‘ POV: 

“Charles, have you ever loved me?” 

Every word that came out of Scarlett‘s mouth was like a needle pricking my heart. All of the memories we shared together came flooding back, and I was overwhelmed by sorrow and pain.

“I‘ve never loved you, Scarlett. Not even for a second,” I said resolutely. 

All of sudden, she fainted. 

“Scarlett? Scarlett!” I panicked the moment she fell. 

I carried her to the parking lot and put her in the backseat of my car. “Scarlett, wake up! Don‘t close your eyes. I won‘t allow you to do this!” 

While I was driving over the speed limit, I kept on talking to her.

“Scarlett, open your eyes! Do not let yourself fall asleep. I‘m taking you to the hospital. We‘re almost there. Hold on! God... don‘t do this to me, Scarlett. You hear me? You‘re not allowed to leave me like this! Open your eyes, damn it!” Upon our arrival at the hospital, they took Scarlett to the operating room. I wanted to follow her in, but the doctor stopped me.

“Sir, this is the operating room. I‘m afraid we can‘t let you in.” 

With no other choice, I waited outside the operating room, staring at the red light just above the emergency room‘s door. An hour had passed by, but to me, it felt like an eternity. Waiting for that long almost killed me. By now, my eyes had turned red. It was then that Tracy arrived, seemingly out of breath.

“Is Scarlett okay?” In response, I just pointed at the operating room in silence. After quite some time, the door finally opened. Several nurses pushed Scarlett out. 

She lay on the bed with her eyes closed, and her face had turned pale. There was a needle on the back of her hand, and she was injected with an IV drip.
