After getting my reply, Susan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There are too many things in the world that are beyond our control. You shouldn’t be too hard on yourself."
Susan uttered the last sentence meaningfully.
I remembered what had happened between her and Tyler. She was bent on being with Tyler at the time and once hoped to spend the rest of her life with him as husband and wife.
Alas, not only did it not work out as hoped, Tyler even looked for a bitch like Sara to piss her off in the end!
I don't want you to do things that you'll regret forever just because you're anxious right now.” Susan held me even tighter.
Yeah, Munchkin had fully occupied my heart. I worried and feared for him, yet not for the child in my belly. This was not what a mother should do.
"Come, take me to Munchkin." As though she was trying to pull me out of this melancholic mood, Susan suggested I take her to see Munchkin.
Munchkin was sent to an isolation room for treatment because of his acute myeloid leukemia.
On the way to the ward, I saw patients walking toward me showing various symptoms due to chemotherapy and felt stabbing pains in my heart.
Some not only experienced hair loss on their heads. Even their eyebrows had fallen off too. Some of their complexions were slightly dull, and even their fingers had changed colors.
I could not bring myself to look yet could not turn away.
Susan noticed it and reached out to hold my shoulder tightly.
The isolation rooms were fully isolated, and one could only communicate with the people inside via video or phone.
"Hi, I'm the family member of the patient in Room No. 3. I'd like to speak to him."
