Chapter 5

Penulis: Evening Breeze
"Scott, didn't you promise to spend my birthday with me? Why did you abandon me when the day isn't even over yet?

"You left me all alone, and now everyone's looking at me like I'm a joke! I don't know what to do… Please come save me…"

It was her birthday starting last midnight, after all.

Putting one hand over the microphone, Scott turned to me and stared at me, unblinking. "Wendy, if you tell me not to leave, I won't. I will stay here with you."

I pried my fingers out of his grip and tugged the tube out of his hand as well.

"Go with her if you want. I don't care."

With that, he scoffed. "Fine. Don't say I didn't ask you."

Raising his phone again, he spoke into it with sweet, honeyed words. "Don't worry, Roanna. I'm coming for you, alright?"

Before he left, he said, "Wendy, no matter what happens now, and what will happen in the future… You asked for it!"

Then, he slammed the door and left.

Not much later, the doctor came in.

    "Don't worry, I'll be by your side even if there's a thunderstorm, alright?"I hummed in response."I'll hug you and protect you so that the lightning hits me first! Wait, if anything, I'd want the lightning to hit that guy first…"I smiled weakly.I wanted to tell her not to mention that man anymore, and that it was boring, but I didn't have the energy to say it anymore."Wendy, can you still hear me?""...""Wendy? Don't scare me!""Wendy!"'Sorry, Mary. The sunlight really is too nice, and I just really want to take a nap.'If we can't outrun the coming storm, we should just… Let it be.'-The day Wendy died, the sky roared with thunder all night, and rain poured endlessly from the sky.Scott rushed from the airport to the train station, trying every possible way to find her, but the flights were grounded and the trains were canceled.He was doomed to never see her one last time.When he finally drove over a thousand kilometers to catch up, all that was left was a hea

  • Her Silent Heart   Chapter 10

    I wanted to go somewhere warm, somewhere I could feel the warm sunlight on every inch of my skin.In response, Mary brought me to Springville, where every season was warm and lightning was few and far between.The both of us rented a small house there, where the sun poured in every day.However, my body got worse. Even lifting my arms sometimes caused dizziness from lack of circulation. Despite this, Mary never complained, carrying me onto the wheelchair and insisting on bringing me out to bask in the sun each and every day.Every time I dozed off in the courtyard, she'd gently press her hand on my chest, feeling for the heartbeat that was barely there.She would then cry—silently, so that I wouldn't be roused from my slumber.I wanted nothing more than to comfort her, but I couldn't even lift a hand anymore. The sunlight could warm my skin all day, but it was as if my whole body was trapped in everlasting ice.And so, my heart beat on, slowly and faintly.-One day, an unwelc

  • Her Silent Heart   Chapter 9

    However, no one knew just how much I sacrificed for this marriage.The enemies of the Harris family, having failed in their kidnapping, bore a grudge. Now knowing that they had no way of hurting them directly, they set their sights on my family instead.The second day of our marriage, a heavy truck barrelled into my parents as they were driving home, and they died on the spot.After the incident was ruled an accident, I received a message from an anonymous sender."They died because of you."Before I could even screenshot it, the message vanished.I didn't even know if I imagined it.I never told Scott about any of it. I knew I shouldn't hate him, and I couldn't bring myself to blame him.The only person who I hated was myself.Because I loved Scott, and because I married him, I had to pay the price.After that, I could no longer look at him in the face and tell him that I loved him. Every time I saw him, I saw my parents' bodies, stitched up in the morgue.I couldn't think

    "You didn't know a damn thing, because while her chest was being cut open, you were off kissing Roanna at a new year's party!" Mary spat, trembling with rage as tears ran down her cheeks. "Are you sure you aren't the one with a fake heart, Scott?"-The hospital ward was quiet for a very long time.After what seemed like an eternity, Scott finally opened his mouth, his voice choked with emotion, "But she… She was the one who acted coldly to me and ignored me in the first place…"We'd only been married for a month, and she already stopped loving me. I tried so hard, but she wouldn't say much to me at all… I-If we had talked more, then…"Mary immediately cut him off, "Oh, shut up! Are you going to stand there and tell me that you cheated because she was giving you the cold shoulder? Did you think that she stopped talking to you because she didn't love you? Well, you're wrong!""Then why did she?"Mary didn't give him a reply. "Just… Let her tell you herself."-The first tim

    Scott looked quite annoyed."Stop spouting nonsense. The doctor told me your artificial heart is strong, and you look perfectly fine to me! If you were going to die, you would've died during the surgery, so stop using your heart to scare me!"Hearing his words, I completely lost control over my heartbeat. I gasped like a fish out of water, completely losing control of my heart rate and my body.It wasn't until I collapsed onto the ground, body limp and lips turning a startling shade of blue, that Scott finally realized how serious it was."An ambulance! Call an ambulance now!"My heartbeat was so deafening that I couldn't hear anything else, and all I could see was the panic-struck look on Scott's face.He seemed to be begging me again, begging for my heart to slow down, but this time, my heart no longer listened to him.-I was brought to the hospital, and all I saw as I faded in and out of consciousness was Scott's face, streaked with tears. He was talking to me, but I couldn

  • Her Silent Heart   Chapter 6

    I asked to meet Scott in the parking lot, and Roanna came together with him."What do you want?" Scott asked impatiently, his voice filled with annoyance.I didn't have the energy to argue, so I replied quietly, "Give me back the prayer card my parents gave me. It's in your car."He hadn't guessed that that's what I wanted. He threw his car keys towards me, hitting my shoulder.Judging from the sharp pain, it probably left a bruise."Go get it yourself."When I checked inside the car, I didn't manage to find the card where it was usually hung up."It's not here. Where's it? The one my parents got for me, remember?"Before Scott replied, Roanna chimed up, "Are you talking about that old thing? It was gross and dusty—and totally clashed with the aesthetic of Scott's car, so I threw it away! You wouldn't blame me right, Scott?"In an instant, I lunged forward and grabbed her collar, gritting my teeth. "What did you say? Threw it away? Where?!""Ahh!" Roanna screeched, reaching t
