Ex-wife, Please Come Back novel Chapter 339

At that very moment, Michael didn't act on impulse, and Jacob proceeded with care and thought. However, Jacob suffered some degree of harsh criticism from the public because of this.

Carlos, on the other hand, failed to understand this. He once thought, 'What kind of person could have his family members euthanized?' However, if Tasha insinuated having euthanasia here and now, he might consider it without thinking twice.

But still, what mattered to him the most was his earnest hope, that fortunately, Tasha would make it through this ordeal and be with him happily. These last few days had been the most difficult days of their life together. It was so tough that Carlos couldn't help musing that the past ten years just went by in the blink of an eye. And now, it made him feel that he was already in a moment where he was almost nearing half of his life.

Youth and happiness just disappeared without a trace. Apart from this, the patient lying in front of him now seemed to have a different face, slowly withering away against time. Helplessly, Carlos heaved a deep sigh, pausing momentarily. In this respect, words seemed to be elusive that he didn't quite know what to say.

He had just cried his heart out, and oddly he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he felt much better. It was more like he finally got something off his chest after it weighed him hard down.

However, his emotional state currently remained the same. It didn't make him feel relaxed and at ease. After crying a lot, his tears eventually stopped. He still wanted to cry, but his eyes could no longer shed a single tear. He felt empty. Although Tasha's consciousness was getting foggy, Carlos knew that she certainly didn't want to hear him crying now.

So he forcibly braced himself and started focusing his mind on how he should take good care of himself and not be sad in front of Tasha. Otherwise, she would be sad too. He had grown familiar with her better than anyone else.

When he was angry in the past, Tasha was even angrier than him. Of course, she would still feel the same this time. It was apparent that his extreme sadness all stemmed from Tasha's unfavorable health state, which didn't need to mention.

"Tasha, are you feeling better? Recover as soon as possible, honey. The doctor just told me that you are getting better. You know what? I was so glad about the news that I cried."

Without him realizing it, Carlos wiped out his tears as soon as his words left his mouth. While at the door, there stood Sara. She was holding Jacob in her arms as she watched her father. She then burst into tears.

Witnessing how her father had been comforting her mother in a soft voice, Sara had to cover her mouth with her hand and kept crying. Probably, this was the only moment when she had cried hard. No matter how sad she had been in the past, her tears hadn't flowed like running water as they were now.

Jacob tenderly held Sara in his arms. It was all he could do. He reached out his hand to wipe off her tears and comforted her in a soft voice, "Honey, don't cry. You don't look good doing that."

With her eyes filled with tears, Sara tried to come up with words, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything. She just felt afflicted with unbearable sorrow. Especially now, when she heard her father was still pretending to be strong and calm despite the harsh reality, she couldn't help breaking down into tears again.

Feeling her pain, Jacob knowingly stopped uttering words to console her. Instead, he remained to hold her in his arms after it dawned on him that he couldn't give her strength at this moment. But deep within him, he knew that his presence could at least make her feel reassured that he was with her.

As the old adage said, companionship was the longest perceived confession of love, so Jacob completely captured this basic sentiment amongst all things. He understood that even if he uttered nothing, his action alone would prove that he would constantly be by her side.

But of course, Sara knew this rather acutely.

At this age and time, surprisingly, there were still a lot of people who deemed that finding a wife or a husband was just for the sake of getting married and having children. In reality, however, it was not true at all. And for a person, it was not the point of one's way of life.

The significant point was that after you got married, you finally had someone to think for you, worry for you, and feel sad for you. And by all means, the person involved would have no difficulty in doing these things for their partner.

Probably, this was the best part of a marriage. Even if it was merely an ordinary marriage filled with ordinary love, it could surely make people live in bliss. Even if the marriage was regarded as common and simple, the people who enjoyed this relationship within their happy marriage would be very pleased and contented.

This was love. It both made people happy and suffer in pain. In this life, those paths were not that necessary, but that was what everyone yearned for.

Someone even said that what people wanted the most was what he couldn't have. This was presumably the part that made love most attractive. Sara, however, had different thoughts regarding this matter.

To her, since she couldn't get the person she wanted, then it only meant one thing: she was definitely not meeting the right person for her. True love, as she perceived, would not let you chase after it obsessively, then at the same time give you a blow that would helplessly knock you down.

What made her so disheartened was that she finally saw her parents' love, but as it turned out, fate had chosen the cruelest and the most heartbreaking way to show it.

She could attest that her parents truly loved each other, but most of the time, their love was like a one-on-one play of his father, which perfectly served as an inspiration for her. But somehow, her father neglected the importance of communication in their marriage.
