Hospital
Love, Lies, and Second Chances
I was helping my childhood friend, who was hospitalized, to the bathroom, but at the door, I ran into my ex-boyfriend whom I hadn’t seen in five years.
He was half-embracing a pregnant woman, his head slightly lowered, their posture intimate.
I vaguely heard the pregnant woman call him “husband.”
After five years of separation, I had imagined countless scenarios of our reunion, but I never dared to think that he would already be married.
Stars Without End
I chased after He Chenyi for six years, coming whenever he called, leaving whenever he waved me away.
While he was holding another woman and drinking a wedding toast, I was diagnosed with Leukemia at the hospital, with only three months left to live.
Later, he knelt by my hospital bed, crying and begging me to accept a bone marrow transplant.
How ridiculous. I never even wanted to live.
