"This may be the only evidence and significance of my life..." Sighing, Danica pleaded humbly, but it was difficult to hide her sorrow.
All her life, she was like a puppet, controlled by what she thought was parental love and made very few decisions for herself. The family she loved and cared for was all an illusion. The happiness she could reminisce about was very little. For her last moments, she was too eager for them to be beautiful, even if it was just a dream.
It was all too sudden. Frederick was dumbstruck for a moment.
After a while, he slowly pushed away the small hand on his arm. He looked down as Danica's face grew paler and colder.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe moment her hand was pushed away, Danica's eyes widened. They were filled with disappointment, despair, and disbelief.
She was going to die. Couldn't he fulfill her last wish? Did he have to be so cruel? No! He was the man who she had given the most for, treated her the best, loved her the most, and was crazy for her! The only past of hers that was worth being proud of! Did he really have to destroy her little dying wish like this? Couldn't he fulfil it? Frederick withdrew his hand. His voice, however, was much softer than before.
"I am very sorry that this happened. Danica, if I were alone, I may consider doing this, even if it's with a stranger. But I have my own life now, and my own difficulties! I'm sorry..." Accidents were ubiquitous. Her accident cout of the blue. If he gave her his six months, who would be considerate and give him their six months? In half a year, a lot of things could happen! Moreover, even if it was acceptable for him to waste stfor her, he had no right to ask others to do the sfor her. Alicia would not understand. Even if she did, she might not be able to accept it. Even if she did, many things could change in half a year's time.
She only gave him a bouquet of flowers, and he just happened to be nearby. Yet, the two of them had not been on good terms for a long while. No matter how much he sympathized with her misfortune, he was not confident that Alicia could be so generous! He didn't want to get involved in any women's affairs at all. He already had what he wanted most! At that moment, Frederick's heart felt heavy. After all, the woman standing before his eyes was one of the few people who once made a significant impact on his life. However, he couldn't afford to bet his current life on this, not even for a second! The pain of losing someone he cared about was something he had already experienced once! He didn't want to go through that torturous tagain! He sympathized with her, but he couldn't do anything about it! If she wanted money, he might be of help, but there was no way he could fulfil her request! In an instant, the two words pushed Danica down the abyss of despair. Tears immediately streamed down her face again as her fists were clenched so tightly that her veins bulged. "Frederick..." Why did he say " I'm sorry" to her? Why was it those annoying words again? "I'm begging you! I'm dying. Can't you givea chance? It's only six months, they'll pass in a blink of an eye! Why are you all so cruel to me? I'm not asking you to leave her or to do anything with me, I just want to make sbeautiful memories with you. Can't you letleave this world with a fake dream?" As she choked on her tears, the hatred in Danica's heart spread even more.
The hatred for her father's injustice, the hatred for her biological mother's abandonment, the hatred for her adopted mother's painstaking efforts, the hatred for her parents' plot, and the hatred for life's unfairness and God's cruelty! Finally, bit by bit, they all combined and turned into hatred for his heartlessness.
Danica cried so hard that she was trembling all over. Her lips parted and closed. Frederick clenched his fists, but still did not say a word.
It was unnecessary to drive her to a corner. She was already at death's door. No matter how deep the hatred was, it was tto let go.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face of the person he once loved, Frederick couldn't tell how he felt about her. Other than being silent, he had no idea how to face her! Hence, for a long time, the two of them stood in front of the office's entrance in the same, unmoving posture.
When Chet drove the car over, he also seemed to have sensed something unusual. He did not honk, but just stopped the car, and got down after a while.
"Frederick!" "Right." Frederick suddenly cback to his senses. He took a look at Danica again. He held back his hand, fighting the urge to hand her a handkerchief. In the end, he sighed and muttered to her, "Leave!" As soon as he opened the car door, a hoarse roar cfrom behind him. "Frederick, are you really this heartless?" Frederick paused, feeling a pang of heartache spread in his chest. He let out a sigh, but did not turn around. Instead, he got into the car. The moment the door was closed, the air turned blue, and curses in a hoarse voice could be heard. "You'll regret it! You'll rue the way you treat me..." "You've failed me. You will never be happy!" "Why are you all doing this to me?" The car started up and pulled away slowly. At the traffic junction, Chet turned his head to look at him. "Frederick, are you okay?" Opening his eyes, Frederick forced a smile. "She has liver cancer and may die soon!" "What?" After a moment of shock, Chet suddenly turned back around. "Is it real? It's not another conspiracy, is it?" With just one look, Frederick could guess what he was thinking. He shook his head and said, "I don't know either! I didn't agree to anything she asked for!" Whether it was true or not, he selfishly wanted to protect his own happiness! As the car started moving again, Chet bore a serious expression on his face.

Alicia's appearance was what he didn't expect! Of course, at the moment, he was also more inclined towards Fredrick's decision. As for Danica, other than sighing, he had nothing to say. When Chet had driven him all the way home, he turned towards Frederick once more.
"Frederick, you're not Christ. You can't do universal reconciliation. Although it's a real pity that this happened to her, isn't it still because of her own doing and her own choice?" Clearly, she only had herself to thank for it!
