Chapter 384

Chapter 384

Jace suddenly remembered what happened three years ago. He was on the highway when he heardabout the Zelda family’s bad news. Then, he hurried from his branch office to Nadeem City.However, halfway through his journey, he received a breakup call from Sienna.

She was crying. “Jace, I'm sorry. I love you, but I can't be with you anymore because of the Zeldafamily. Please, tell Aunt Freya to let us go. Let's break up.”

Sienna hung up the phone before he could speak. He tried to call her again, but she turned off herphone.

He wanted to tell her that even if she wanted to break up, they should speak in person to respecteach other.

At that moment, his mother's aggression and the breakup ruined his mood. He did not slow downwhen he reached the fork in the road. A truck suddenly appeared without slowing down and hit himdirectly.

Bang!

He was in a daze as his chaotic memories hit him. He saw his memories as a child. He saw hisparents’ endless arguments, where his father slammed the door, leaving his mother behind.

His mother trembled in anger and smashed everything in the house. There was a loud cracklingnoise from all the destruction. It reminded him of the firecrackers during the New Year. If the noisewas like New Year, it was as if their family was celebrating the New Year every day.

His father had no right to educate him. Meanwhile, his mother disciplined him very strictly. He didnot know if she was just venting her anger on him. Every time after quarreling with his father, hismother would come to check his homework.

He would be severely punished for missing a word or a question. After the punishment, his motherwould put the cane aside, She held his shoulders and ordered him to grow into a successful manwith a grave tone.

“Be sure to become the best in the Yuriel family with all you have. You have to earn back the dignityI lost with your dad! Did you hear me? My son must become the most successful man!” As a child,Jace longed for his father's love, but he feared his mother. When Jace grew up, he no longer knewwhat love was. No one loved him, and he would not love anyone.

The only woman who loved him had abandoned him for her family's interest. In the end, he was stillsomeone who could be discarded at will. Death seemed like the easy way out for him.

He was seriously injured and was rescued thrice in a critical stage. More than ten notices of criticalillness were issued. His condition was hopeless until Dr. S's arrival, which turned everything around.His body was alive, but his heart had died. He lay on the bed, paralyzed and unable to take care ofhimself.

He would rather die and end the torture fast. Why live with such a broken body?

Even so, his family refused to let him die, and neither did his nurse. He suffered from urinaryincontinence continuously. It happened frequently and was often an embarrassing problem. He wasashamed and begged the nurse, “Please euthanize me and put me out of my misery. You can befree too.”

The nurse named Sage answered him as such, "Do you think death is a relief? No. Death is just anescape because everyone knows that it's harder to live.”

Not only did she reason with him, but she also started reading books for him, such as Tagore’s StrayBirds and other motivational books. She randomly chose the book to read daily by mood. Her voicewas clear and melodious. It was not the best reading voice, but it was full of emotions. She read thenovels out loud and expressed her emotions when she read poetry collections. However, whenevershe hummed occasionally... It was squeaky and terrible. Perhaps, the stories had given him somecourage and strength, allowing him to see a ray of light in the dark days. Without knowing it, thetoughest days passed quickly.
