Filed to story: I Got Married Without You
Every time she took a step closer, her heart sank a little, countless memories rushing in like a tidal wave.
She remembered the kindness Ryan showed her.
Ryan remembered Rosalyn, the girl who would never come back.
They looked at each other from afar, with only her in his eyes and only relief in hers.
They had promised each other a forever love, even in the next life, but in the end, she no longer belonged to him.
Tears covered Ryan’s eyes, hiding the deep sadness of being trapped in hell. Then, a hint of a gentle smile emerged, as if bathed in a spring breeze.
Seeing that warm smile, Rosalyn stopped in front of him, extending her tender hand as if meeting an old friend after many years.
“Ryan, it’s been a long time…”
Staring at that hand in front of him, he silently looked at it for a few seconds before lifting the fingers that were resting on his knee and gently holding her hand in his palm. Ryan’s eyes instantly turned red.
“Mrs. Evans, it’s been a long time.”
The title “Mrs. Evans” created distance between them and constantly reminded him that his Rosalyn was already married, and he couldn’t have any unwarranted thoughts. Former lovers who had once loved each other, after a brief touch of their fingers, let go of each other. One stood, one sat, and suddenly, they fell into silence. After a few seconds of silence, under Ryan’s stunned gaze, Rosalyn bent down and squatted in front of him, compassionately and sympathetically looking at his legs. “Ryan, how are your legs now?”
Ryan’s reluctant gaze moved away from her hand that he had held and fell on Rosalyn.
“The specialist recommended by Eva said that as long as I cooperate with the treatment, I have a chance to stand up.”
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy and a smile appeared on Rosalyn’s pure and clean face.
Ryan smiled and nodded slightly, then looked at Eva standing next to him.
“If you don’t believe me, ask Eva.”
The leg specialist was recommended by Andrew, so Rosalyn naturally believed it, but she still turned to look at Eva.
“I forgot to tell you, the specialist did say that as long as Ryan cooperates with the treatment, he has a chance to stand up.”
After finishing her cooperation, Eva looked at Ryan with deep concern, furrowing her brows.
He had severe depression and had lost interest in everything in the world. Would he really cooperate with the treatment?
Rosalyn was worried about this, but she didn’t show it. She smiled and looked at Ryan, raising her chin.
“Ryan, you must cooperate with the treatment. When the day comes that you can stand up, I will definitely give you a big gift.”
Ryan, who was already in hell, didn’t care at all about whether he could stand up or not. But the hope in Rosalyn’s eyes made it impossible for him to refuse. “Okay.”
It didn’t matter what the gift was. As long as she said it, he would cooperate and do his best, never wanting to disappoint her.
Seeing that he was still the same as when they were young, always agreeing to whatever she said or asked for, she felt guilty again in her heart.
She lifted her gaze and carefully examined the man in the wheelchair…
Although his appearance was just like before, he had become so thin that there was no flesh, only bones.
THIS weakened body was so weak that it seemed a gust of wind could blow him over.
His face was as pale as paper, his eyes dull and lifeless, like a dying person waiting for death, tortured by illness and unable to see any hope.
He probably couldn’t sleep well every night. The deep hollows under his clear eyes were like branded dark circles on his face.
Although Ryan had tidied himself up to see her, the exhaustion emanating from him could still be seen.
He wanted to tell her that he was doing well, but his condition was far from good…
If she had known that Ryan would end up like this, she would rather he had lost his memory forever, never remembering her, than seeing him like this now.
She lowered her eyes in shame, afraid to meet his gaze again, as if she was afraid that when they locked eyes and she was the only one he saw, she couldn’t help but cry…
“Rosalyn, Eva told me yesterday that you would come, so I asked Nora to prepare a lot of food that you like. Stay and have a meal.”
At the moment he received the message, he also hesitated whether to refuse her or not. But after thinking about it, if he didn’t see her, wouldn’t Rosalyn think that he couldn’t let go? Amen to know that he had let go of her, and then let her live a happy life with Andrew. That would be Rosalyn’s lifelong happiness.
It had been a long time since he had seen Rosalyn, and it kept him awake all night. At five o’clock in the morning, he pushed his wheelchair and sat by the flower sea, waiting for her to come…
When the morning sun shone down, he finally saw the person he had been yearning for.
The moment he saw her, his heart, which had been like stagnant water, started beating again.
He understood that he could never let go of her in his lifetime, but he had to pretend to let go of her. “Okay.”
Rosalyn nodded with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face.
Ryan led her inside, and as they passed the entrance, the wheelchair stopped for a moment.
He remembered that in this spot, Rosalyn had knelt here, begging him over and over again not to abandon her.
If he could go back to that time, he would definitely pick up Rosalyn and answer her with all his strength, “Okay, I will never abandon you.”
However, time passed and he couldn’t go back. Even if he took the regret medicine, there would be no chance to start over.
After entering, Nora, who was already married, hurriedly greeted Rosalyn.
“Rosalyn, it’s been so long.”
She looked Rosalyn up and down.
“I didn’t expect you to still be as beautiful as before.”
“You too.”
Looking at the smiling girl in front of her, Rosalyn smiled knowingly and her gaze fell on Nora’s stomach.
Nora’s stomach was a bit big, clearly indicating that she is pregnant.
“This is mine and Zoey’s child.”
Nora pointed to her stomach, then reached out and held Zoey, resting her head on his arm.
“Nora, congratulations.”
