Love’s Mark - Chapter 23

When Shane woke up again, I was still by his side.

The moment he opened his eyes, his eyes were red.

Unfortunately, with the oxygen tube still in his mouth, he couldn’t speak; he could only roll his eyes towards Li Hao.

Li Hao understood, leaned closer, took out his phone, and lifted Shane’s hand.

Shane typed two words on the phone: ‘Grandma‘.

He still remembered to take care of Grandma for me.

Li Hao glanced at the two words, immediately understanding.

Then he closed his eyes, tears of regret welling up.

What’s the use of regretting; I’m already dead.

I squatted on his chest, looking at his pained and laughable face.

I should laugh, laugh at him choosing that woman, laugh at his pain, laugh at his deserved suffering.

But I couldn’t help but sniffle, feeling awful.

I was with Grandma again.

Shane kept his word, hiring the best caregiver for Grandma; even Li Hao would chat with Grandma.

Grandma was happy every day; I happily floated in the air.

One day, Li Hao was telling Grandma a story, and Shane came.

Seeing Shane, Grandma suddenly asked, “Young man, are you Holly’s friend? You’re so handsome, a perfect match for my Holly.” Shane smiled, his eyes red again.

He hugged Grandma, then softly said, “Yes, Grandma, Holly went on a long business trip, she asked me to keep you company.” Grandma’s illness was getting worse.

Li Hao stayed with Grandma; Shane went back to my room.

Seeing the photos he had ripped to shreds, he started to tremble uncontrollably.

“Mr. Shen?” Shane waved his hand, “I’m fine.”

Then he pushed Li Hao’s hand away, walking into my room, seeing the photos he’d ripped, trying to piece them together.
