Ex-wife, Please Come Back

The night was unusually cold and foggy. This was the night the tough battle with cancer ended. When Tasha took her last breath, Carlos stared at the electrocardiogram as her heartbeat plummeted to a straight line.

At that moment, it dawned on Carlos that his beloved woman had left him again. Sadly, this time she was leaving forever.

Sara was sitting next to the bed, but she was fast asleep. For five minutes, Carlos stared speechlessly. Then, he pressed the notification button and this woke Sara up.

Awake, she was shocked beyond words. She stared blankly until the doctor on duty ran into the ward.

"I'm sorry for your loss. Please take heart." After examining Tasha, the doctor patted Carlos on his shoulder and walked out of the ward.

At the hospital, life and death was a normal thing. On a daily basis, doctors saw people come and go. Perhaps the doctors actually meant it when they sympathized with the family members of deceased patients. However, in the end those words didn't change anything.

Of course, Sara already knew that her mum was gone. But she just continued to gaze at her lifeless body.

Suddenly, she stood up and touched her mother's face. Regrettably, when her mother was still alive, Sara had never touched her face. She never did because of various reasons. Sara knew that if she didn't do it now, she would never get another chance.

Meanwhile, Carlos remained silent and he didn't shed a tear. Surprisingly, as he looked at Tasha who appeared to be sleeping peacefully, he didn't feel as gloomy as before.

At that moment, it was as if a burden was eased from his heart. Previously, Carlos thought about when she would pass away and his heart was heavy. But now, he no longer had to worry.

The worst had already happened. Standing there, Carlos felt his heartbeat decline like the straight line on Tasha's ECG. The death of a loved one is probably the saddest thing in the world. There's nothing that could be compared to grief.

As the night progressed, Carlos still didn't touch Tasha's corpse. He just sat on the edge of the bed and remained mute.

Sara informed Jacob of the sad news. Immediately he heard, Jacob made his way to the hospital. The biggest advantage of having a partner is to have someone to lean on during difficult times.
