Evershining Stars, Everlasting Love novel Chapter 29

Vince Yi stepped forward to stop me.

"Why are you here?" He looked at me. I kept my head down, not looking up at him, just wanting him to let go of my hand quickly. I didn't want to be so pathetic in front of him.

"Vince, what’s up?" Vince's grandmother walked over slowly with the help of a middle-aged woman, and her face changed abruptly when she saw me.

"Who is this lady?" Vince's grandmother pretended she didn't know me. She scowled at me, and then she withdrew her haughty gaze quickly.

"I don't know her. I think I've got the wrong person." Vince let go of my hand. His words penetrate my heart like an arrow in an instant. It hurt me so much that I can't breathe. Then I stepped aside.

Vince accompanied his grandmother into the hospital. I watched the man I had been thinking about, and when he disappeared from my sight, scalding tears poured down my face. His words broke my heart deeply.

I laughed bitterly. I told myself I had nothing to be sad about. From now on, he would live his life, and I would live mine. We would never have to bother with each other again.

Despite what I thought, my heart still hurt.

When I got back to the hospital room, I saw a text message from Vince. He asked me to meet him on the rooftop of the hospital now.

I looked at the time on my phone and it was midnight.

The lights in the ward had been turned off and I pushed my way out through the hallway. I got on the elevator and went to the rooftop. The rooftop was black, with only the light from the distant street lamp.

I walked cautiously, looking around. I suddenly felt that I was silly. Why did I listen to him and come to the rooftop? If I accidentally fall down the stairs, there might be news tomorrow about me, a model that jumped off the building after getting a divorce.

As I looked around, there was no one at the rooftop. I felt cold when the wind was blowing in my face.

Suddenly, someone hugged me from behind, and I knew it was Vince. I was familiar with his distinctive perfume.

He put his face next to my ear and said in a low voice, "Come back to me."

I was silent. I had mixed emotions. His relentless words were still keeping repeating in my ear when we were downstairs.

I didn't reject him, and I let him hug me. I can't believe I met him again at the hospital, so maybe that meant we were meant to be together.

"Why don't you say something?" Vince asked in a cold voice, then he let go and looked down at me.

I lifted my head slowly. This wind messed my hair up. He helped me pull my hair behind my ear. I smiled, and said, "What a coincidence."

"I ask why you are at the hospital." He looked at me in hospital gown and asked, "Are you sick?"

I shook my head and said, "I'm fine."

"There's always something you're not telling me." Vince let go of me and turned around angrily. I stood still and looked at his back.

"Why did you come to the hospital? Is your grandmother sick?" I asked. Vince turned around suddenly and looked at me seriously.

"How do you know she's my grandmother? I don't think I have introduced you to her. You and my grandmother met before?" Vince's questioning left me speechless.

I was so dumb. Every time I was in front of him, I made mistakes. I wish I could dig a hole and bury myself so I could never make mistakes in my life.

"No." I denied, "I saw that old lady with a little gray hair, and I figured she might be your grandmother."

"Really?" Vince looked at me in disbelief, "Well, since you’re so smart, then you just guess what I am thinking at the moment."

I smiled faintly and shook my head.

I watched him in silence as he approached me step by step. I took two steps back, but I stepped on the uneven concrete pit of the rooftop, and fell over suddenly.

Vince saw the situation and stepped forward immediately, and he carefully helped me up.

I looked at Vince and I wanted to hug him so badly. I wanted to tell him that our baby was gone, yet I didn't say the words.

"I'm going back to the ward." I tried to push him away, but Vince's hand held my wrist tightly.

"Nance, what the hell are you avoiding me for?" He asked sternly.
