He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 34

Chapter 14

By the time I woke up again, many days had passed.

The hospital room was quiet, and no one had tied me down anymore.

But strangely, I was completely calm and didn’t try to run.

I saw the calendar.

Ten days had passed since Finn Reed died.

If I went now, I wouldn’t even be able to see him one last time before he was buried.

I was really awful.

The person who loved me most had been in an accident, was brain dead, and I only stayed with him for three days before forgetting him

completely.

Left him behind overseas.

I didn’t even go see him when he died.

Could you find another girlfriend in this world as cold–hearted as me?

I was just awful.

I had no right to face him.

He must have been so heartbroken. When he was alive, he treasured me so much.

In winter when I got cold easily, he’d heat up water and soak my feet for me. In summer when the AC was too cold, he’d always adjust it or give me his jacket.

Fine, I won’t go see him.

I have no shame.

And I don’t want him to see me and feel disappointed.

He was so handsome, so warm, so talented and responsible.

In his next life he’ll definitely meet the best girl in the world.

Not like me–I was like some debt collector haunting him, making him save me and take care of me.

And in the end he lost his life saving me.

What kind of monster am I?

I should have died at the hands of those thugs. I never should have followed him home.

Chapter 14

If he hadn’t met me, he wouldn’t have died.

He would have lived a good life.

He was so amazing–everyone said he was a genius doctor. How could I ever make up for this?

Even me dying wouldn’t be enough.

“Iris, let me take you outside for a walk, okay?”

Cole came again.

I ignored him.

Just stared numbly at the sparrows outside the window.

But he sat quietly by my bed, turning to look at me peacefully.

His eyes looked terrible.

Sunken and red, unshaven face–so ugly.

How did I ever think he was handsome?

I must have been blind.

After a long silence, he spoke.

“His ashes were brought back home. He’s buried at Redwood Cemetery. Aren’t you going to visit him?”

Without warning, a tear fell from my eye.

Cole Nash reached up to wipe it away.

“Don’t cry. You still have me. I’ll always be with you.”

I turned my head away.

My eyes were full of disgust.

His hand paused in midair, then fell limply.

“I’ve investigated everything. After you went abroad, it wasn’t what we imagined–studying and learning. The day your plane landed, the million dollars your family gave you was stolen.”

“You couldn’t go to school, had no money, worked day and night, and when you were desperate, you even had to sell your blood.”
