Love’s Mark - Chapter 20

Actually, while Shane was hospitalized, I went home to visit Grandma.

The little old lady seemed to be doing well.

A few elderly women from the community, all toothless, were chatting at home, looking happy.

Only when the ladies accidentally mentioned their granddaughters would they suddenly fall silent.

Grandma didn’t remember anything; she talked endlessly about how excellent her obedient granddaughter was, how handsome her granddaughter’s husband was.

I think it’s good that Grandma doesn’t remember those things.

When I returned to the hospital, Shane was packing his things.

He put his phone on the bedside table, took off his valuables, and took my phone and a letter from somewhere, avoiding the hospital’s surveillance cameras, and went to the underground parking garage.

I didn’t know what he was doing; I felt something was wrong.

Seeing him sitting expressionlessly in the driver’s seat, I immediately got in.

I shouted at him, “Shane, where are you going? Why didn’t you take your phone or valuables?”

He couldn’t hear me, just stepped on the gas and sped off.

I felt anxious, watching him speed towards the coastal highway.

Even though my favorite song was playing, it couldn’t ease my anxiety.

This stupid man, was he going to commit suicide? drive into the sea, he stopped the car.

I touched my still chest, letting out a long sigh of relief.

“Jerk, you scared me, I thought you were going to jump into the sea.”

Shane closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then took out a lighter and lit the envelope on the passenger seat.

“Holly, I’m sorry.” “Holly, are you here? If there really are spirits, please, accept my letter.”

The flames slowly rose, and a letter slowly appeared in my hand, with the words ‘To Holly‘ written on it.
