Chapter 386 Longing Is Pain

The children were sleeping soundly, and Selena smiled when she imagined how they must have looked when she was pregnant with them. I wonder if they were already fighting since then.

She gave all of them a goodnight kiss before going to sleep on the sofa. When she noticed the window was ajar, she went to close it, but then she saw someone downstairs. She craned her neck to see the tree outside and realized there was the light of a cigarette behind. Someone's there.

For a moment there, she thought it was Pierre, but the light had gone out when she looked at the tree again, so she closed the window, feeling despondent. He doesn't even like me now. Why did I think he'd show up? And the hospital's closed for the day. She closed the window and curled up on the sofa.

Pierre came out from behind the tree downstairs, and his face gleamed a handsome silver thanks to the moonlight. A cigarette butt lay dead beside his feet. He came to see her because he couldn't hold back his longing anymore. He knew how painful that feeling was, and he thought he'd never feel that anymore, but he never expected to eat his words that soon.

The hospital was closed, and the front gates were locked, but he was agile enough to leap past the wall. He looked up at the window and noticed that the lights were out. She must be getting along well with the kids. It was a beautiful sight to behold, but one that was forever out of his grasp. They'd probably stop missing me if I stop coming back.

The sun shone magnificently the next day, and Selena pulled back the curtain, letting the glorious light shine on everything in the room. Since the kids were still sleeping, she went to get some breakfast alone. The VIP ward had breakfast included, but only for the patient and one family member. She had two more kids with her.

Selena decided to get some sandwiches at the bar near the hospital, since they made good sandwiches. The janitor was sweeping the ground when she went past the tree downstairs. "I can't believe this! Someone smoked in the hospital! My god!" the janitor mumbled.

Selena looked at the tree and noticed a small heap of cigarette butts under the tree, and there were still embers glowing in the ash. He probably left not too long ago.

The janitor said, "The guard told me a man in black left the hospital this morning, and he couldn't stop the guy. Said he smuggled in here last night."

"What was he trying to do? We're in a hospital. Was that a thief?"

Selena's heart sank. He smuggled into the hospital at night and smoked under the tree? She looked up and noticed that the tree was facing Juniper's ward. That must have been Pierre alright. So that was him. Her heart ached, but then she muttered, "That's what you get for breaking up!"

She then went to purchase the sandwiches and some chocolate milk, since her children loved it. They were already awake when Selena came back with breakfast.
