Chapter 386 Longing Is Pain
The children were sleeping soundly, and Selena smiled when she imagined how they must have looked when she was pregnant with them. I wonder if they were already fighting since then.
She gave all of them a goodnight kiss before going to sleep on the sofa. When she noticed the window was ajar, she went to close it, but then she saw someone downstairs. She craned her neck to see the tree outside and realized there was the light of a cigarette behind. Someone’s there.
For a moment there, she thought it was Pierre, but the light had gone out when she looked at the tree again, so she closed the window, feeling despondent. He doesn’t even like me now. Why did I think he’d show up? And the hospital’s closed for the day. She closed the window and curled up on the sofa.
Pierre came out from behind the tree downstairs, and his face gleamed a handsome silver thanks to the moonlight. A cigarette butt lay dead beside his feet. He came to see her because he couldn’t hold back his longing anymore. He knew how painful that feeling was, and he thought he’d never feel that anymore, but he never expected to eat his words that soon.
The hospital was closed, and the front gates were locked, but he was agile enough to leap past the wall. He looked up at the window and noticed that the lights were out. She must be getting along well with the kids. It was a beautiful sight to behold, but one that was forever out of his grasp. They’d probably stop missing me if I stop coming back.
