My Sweetheart

Bertie was standing by the door and heard what the doctor said. His frowned deeply.

He ran after the doctor when the doctor left the wardroom, only to see Joseph waiting for the doctor in his office already.

“Mr. Joseph, are you sure you want to hide it from Miss Kathy, the fact that her brain tumour is spreading?”

“You should know that the success rate for the surgery for brain tumour doesn’t even exceed 5%.”

Bertie froze up listening to their conversation from outside the room. He heard everything clearly and his body started to tremble violently.

Kathy was…

He abruptly rushed into the room, the two of them were surprised to see him.

Bertie grabbed Joseph by the collar furiously, “Joseph, you were lying to her this whole time!”

Joseph was wearing a heavy expression and there was a glint of anguish in his eyes.

He just didn’t know how to tell her.

It was a fact so cruel that even he couldn’t accept it.

Let alone Kathy.

She just fulfilled her dream and had just started her postgraduate. He didn’t want the illness to take away everything from her.

“What will happen if she doesn’t undergo surgery?” asked Bertie bleakly.

The doctor shook his head and answered, “Best-case scenario, she’ll have three more years to live.”

Bertie let go of his hand frustratedly after hearing what the doctor said and punched the wall as hard as he could.

Kathy was standing outside of the door. She was initially here to get her medical record from the doctor and the news came like a bolt from the blue.

She laughed bitterly, that was the reason why.

No wonder her head would hurt so badly for no reason and her health was steadily deteriorating, and that she would pass out every so often.

Three years…

And three years was the best-case scenario.

Kathy didn’t know how she walked back to the ward. She lied down on the bed and closed her eyes, she felt very sorrowful, but she couldn’t seem to cry.

She covered the blanket over her shoulder as if the sadness would go away being embraced by the blanket like this.

She only came back to her senses when she heard footsteps coming in from outside.

It was Bertie.
