abad to grasp at the nothingness in her empty outstretched hands, with raindrops falling cold on her palms like every chilly touch seeping deep into her heart

In that moment, she felt so distant from Brett that it seemed like no matter how much time she spent trying to mach him, he would always be out of reach, the the rain slipping through her fingers

She looked up at Brett’s cold expression and choked. “Brett, it hurts so much”

Pett only owned not beleving Izabella’s words in fact, afte so many years, Delt knew izabella very well, he know she was afraid of pain and suffering but kneeling for half an hour wouldnt bill her

“trabella Hop being so dramatic You were just kneeling for half an hout, don’t worry, your dad will be fine. You can stand up now”

Her body ached everywhere, as if needies pierced all over, but the worst pain came from her heart, which seemed to have become rotten

Cabella till was laughing but her taughter looked worse than her crying

Brett couldn’t understand why she was laughing like this just annoyed him “Crazy bitch” he cursed, reaching out to grab her arm, only to realize her body was as cold as ice

Her laughter suddenly stopped, and as she swayed, he couldn’t catch her in time She fell sideways like a rag doll, crashing into a puddle

trabella was not laughing anymore lying limp and lifeless on the ground, eerily silent.

He mouth was open and a stream of blood dripped from her mouth, staining the water beneath her face a searing red, unbearably bright and eye–catching

Seeing this Brett stiffened, feeling as if he’d been struck heavily his brainwas dizzy and his vision also got blurry

Finally he reacted He picked her up, and despite being soaked in rain, she wasn’t much heavier than before. Her face was so pale and he could see the tiny veins beneath her shin

“abella” he shouted, not even realizing how shaky and full of fear his own voice sounded.

Without wasting any time, he cared her fragile body and raced to his car

Liam, who was always quick to act, followed them and volunteered to drive

Izabella lay limp in Brett’s arms her long hair covering his chest like seaweed, her eyes shadowed with pain as she looked at him, feeling heavier by the moment. She was afraid to close her eyes afraid she would never wake up again, and she wanted to use the last of her strength to look at Brett so she could etch his face into her mind

“Bre. Brett Did you know Izabella from 16 years ago really really liked you shed liked you for 16 years. And now she can’t anymore. “Her eyes filled with teargas she trembled and spoke

It was said that karma would come for those who wrecked other people’s relationships. She didn’t believe it before, but now it had come for her

She hadn’t done anything temble She just loved someone too much, for 16 long years

Izabela continued speaking incoherent words, telling him they known each other since 16 years ago, though Brett could never remember seeing her back then

Her vision blurred, and darkness encroached as she could no longer see Brett’s conflicted expression

She felt a sudden spasm in her chest, coughing out another mouthful of blood that soaked Brett’s shirt

“Izabella, what’s wrong with you? Frantically. Brett tried to wipe the blood from her face, only to smudge it more

Beads of sweat formed on his brow and panic filled his eyes as he realized for the first time how fragile life could be. The lifeless Izabella in his arms seemed so close to death

Izabella trabella

Breft repeated her name in his head, refusing to admit he cared for her and insisting his panic was simply due to she and Kaley’s same blood type

Everyone was shocked when Brett burst into the hospital, covered in blood, carrying izabella in his arms. The doctor at the front desk called out with an intercom and immediately a nurse wheeled in a surgical cart

He was stopped outside the operating room, watching helplessly as the door closed. He felt his heart tighten and an inexplicable fras overcome him.

His hands shaking, he couldn’t bring himself to push open the door, feeling lost and frightened like a child stepping out into the world for the first time

The hospital was air–conditioned and cool and Brett was lost in thought, staring at the surgical lights. The blood staining has shirt had been dried by the air conditioning, turning it into a dark red blood clot that

smelled like rust.

A nurse nearby having never seen such a handsome man in real life approached him, speaking soothingly. “Don’t worry, the patient will be fine

But it was as if Brett hadn’t heard her. He lowered his head and stared at the blood on his hands and rubbed them together, watching as the dried fakes scattered in the air

It was only when he had moved that he noticed that not only was there blood on his hands, but his shirt, pants, and arms. were all stuck with Izabela’s blood

How did she have so much blood?

Brett suddenly felt a little cold he looked up at the ceiling, found that the air conditioning vents were not far away, no wonder the “body” would be so “cold”

Inside the operating room

Izabella lay on the operating bed, her stomach constantly convulsing, and mouthful after mouthful of blood came out of her mouth, soaking the bed sheets red

it hurt so much Tears rolled down her face, her brain was muddled and her body was in so much pain that she lost consciousness She couldn’t even tell whether this was reality or a hallucination

Many images floated before her eyes like a walking light, the shadow of Brett, Brett who was angry, Brett who was holding her, Brett who was calling her names, Brett who was slapping her Brett who was humiliating

One by one they turned into bubbles congested in the mind, and then little by little shattered, and finally melted into a puddle of water to form the last picture

-It was Brett from sixteen years ago

Izabella cant remember clearly what Brett looked like sixteen years ago, but she vaguely remembered that the young boy was a head taller than her, with a clean smile on his face, thin arms, but having the strength beyond his age when he camed her makingther feel safe

That spring seven–year–old Izabella was left at the amusement park by Lucas and got lost. It was Brett who found her and camed her back.

On the way Brett bought her a defiut, smiling and comforting her, “Cry baby let me treat you to a donut Its sweet, don’t cry anymore alright?”

She Look a bite, and got toe–the donut was sweet on the outside, but very sour inside. Yet, that unique taste was the best taste she had ever had in her life, unforgettable till now

After returning home he broke out in a rash and was diagnosed with an allergy to the strawberry filling in the donut

Since then, she nevel touched one again

She liked Bref, just like that allergy causing donut Knowing she couldn’t touch him, yet she desperately went for it

Life is like a play, in a snap of suteen years, the once gentle boy became cold and ruthless, as if he had changed into another person. He was no longer the one who would use donuts to comfort hex the Cry Baby

She gambled four years hoping Brett would love her hoping he would remember that time sixteen years ago However, in the end, shur lost miserably

Her foolish infatuation was only her wishful thinking

“Not good, the patients oxygen saturation is dropping The situation is dangerous!

“The patient has late–stage stomach cancer. We must have the family sign the surgery agreement and the cntical condition notice Quick, get Dr. Felton to come over and do the emergency surgery

“Beep-” The equipment sent out cold and harsh sound
