Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 Rhys Died Long Ago

The real Rhys met him at the age of seven. Frail and sickly, he died of illness less than a year after he came to the orphanage.

At the orphanage, they were each other's only friends.

When the real Rhys was dying, he stood by the hospital bed, alone.

He looked at the dying Rhys...

"It's okay. You will be fine."

Rhys smiled, his face pale. "Don't be sad, we will always be friends."

"I don't want you to die. "

He didn't shed a tear, but he meant it.

At that time, even if they were displaced, they were just seven years old or so and playmates to each other.

Rhys smiled and comforted him, "I won't feel hurt anymore in heaven. I'm sick of the pain."

"But if you go to heaven, I can't see you anymore."

Clenching his hands tightly, he answered in a muffled voice.

Rhys smiled and asked, "Will you forget me?"

He answered without hesitation, "No."

Rhys, on the bed, kept smiling when he heard this.

"We will always be friends."

Standing beside the bed, he gritted his teeth when he heard this.

He thought Rhys would live longer if he didn't talk, but...

He failed to keep his only friend.

Before dying, Rhys looked at him sadly, his big eyes were full of disappointment.

"I guess I'll never see my parents."

"You will, as long as you live."

Rhys chuckled, pulled off the family badge necklace that he had been wearing all the time, and handed it to his friend with difficulty.

He knew what Rhys wanted to do. "No, I don't want it. It's yours. Keep it."

He took a step back, but Rhys grabbed his hand.
