If I Can't Make You Stay Chapter 9
Because Rita refused to apologize, she eventually caused a huge commotion at the hospital and was taken to the police station.When Quentin arrived at the station, he felt strangely calm.Ever since he read my letter yesterday, he had begun to reflect. He thought about many things—about Rita, about me.The more he thought, the more uneasy he became. The more he thought, the more disgusted he felt toward Rita.But the moment he remembered she was a patient, he had no choice but to bury that disgust deep in his chest, where it suffocated him.He wanted to find me. He wanted to make things right. He wanted redemption.But I had already said it—I never wanted to see him again.He used to think that when Rita tried to kill herself, his heart hurt for her. But now, he finally understood. What hurt him most… was my leaving. But it was already too late.The police chief was one of his former comrades. After hearing why he came, the police chief quickly explained what had happened.The

Unfortunately, none of this had anything to do with me anymore.On the other side of town, Quentin returned home."Cammy! Cammy! I know I was wrong, Cammy! I'm sorry! I bought the locket you wanted! Cammy!"But no matter how loudly he called, no one answered.Panic surged up his spine.He searched the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom…They were all empty.A sudden thought struck him. He opened the wardrobe. Half the clothes were gone.Everything that belonged to me had disappeared, except for one white dress, the one he bought for our wedding.I was nineteen then. I had said to him, "Quentin, when we get married, can you buy me a white dress?"He agreed.And on our wedding day, I did wear that beautiful white dress.But our marriage brought no happiness.Quentin remembered that day too. I had my hair in braids, cheeks flushed with shy warmth. In front of both families, I placed my hand in his.I said, "Quentin, from now on, we're a family."The cheerful scene still

Rita immediately crouched down, trying to hide the string around her ankle."I… it's nothing…"Quentin's expression darkened, his gaze sharp as a blade. "Where's the locket I told you to keep? Take it out."Her eyes dropped, guilty and evasive. "Quentin… it's just a locket. I—""I'll say this one last time. Take it out."A storm gathered in his eyes as he stared at her.Panic finally washed over Rita. She stumbled to her feet and backed away, the locket exposed at her ankle— It was the one he had bought.Quentin lunged forward and yanked the locket off her ankle. His fingers dug tightly into his palm."Nurse… earlier you said Cammy was here?" His voice was strained.Lily frowned."Cammy? Cammy Mason? Yes, she came by. I saw her leaving this room in the hallway—that's what prompted me to come here in the first place."Rita shot her a glare, then quickly forced a sweet smile, reaching for Quentin's hand."Quentin… I fell asleep. I didn't know Cammy came."But Quentin said no

If the book had flown even a little farther, it would've hit her eye."What happened, Lily?" The head nurse carefully dabbed disinfectant over the wound while speaking with obvious concern.Lily Altman had joined the hospital staff earlier that year. She was only nineteen and unmarried. Now she had an injury on her face. If it scarred, it could even affect her future prospects for marriage.Lily understood that too. Her eyes reddened the moment she saw the head nurse."Mrs. Grant, she's the one who threw something at me." She pointed at Rita, looking thoroughly wronged.The head nurse's expression chilled."Miss, don't you have anything to say for yourself? We live in a cultured society. Hurting people without cause carries consequences."Rita had calmed down by then. Panic flickered in her eyes at the head nurse's words. Instinctively, she looked toward Quentin, hoping he would defend her.Catching her gaze, Quentin moved to speak for her out of habit."Rita didn't mean it. S

A sharp 'bang' echoed through the room.The lunch box hit the floor, scattering food everywhere, but no one cared.Quentin shot to his feet, disbelief tightening his voice."You… what did you just say?"Startled, the nurse stared at him, puzzled."Are you Cammy Mason's family member? Cammy was hospitalized a few days ago for a miscarriage. She forgot to take her medication."I just saw her walk out of this room, so I came to ask. Which one of you is her family?"Quentin opened his mouth, his face draining of color."I… I'm her husband."The moment the nurse heard that, her previously kind expression vanished. She looked him up and down, a sharp, mocking glint in her eyes."So you're Cammy's irresponsible husband? Your wife had a miscarriage and has been in the hospital all this time, and you didn't bother visiting her even once? Impressive."Quentin's pupils trembled. He forced out the words, his voice rough."I… I didn't know she miscarried…"The nurse let out a cold, der

I forced a small smile and said casually, "Pregnant women get emotional. It'll pass in a moment."Quentin let out a breath of relief."Good. I forgot to ask—what kind of locket do you want? How about a star-shaped one? Supplies are tight these days; simpler designs are better."I froze, surprised he cared enough to ask. If only he had cared this much before."Sure," I said softly. "Whatever you decide."He nodded, reassured, and headed for the door. But just before he stepped out, he turned again."You're really okay?"I parted my lips. Suddenly, a thin thread of hope rose inside me."If I weren't okay… would you stay with me?"He paused—only for a heartbeat—then smiled."Cammy, don't be ridiculous. Rita's still waiting for me at the hospital. Go to bed early. I'm leaving."The door closed. And I finally broke.I cried for choosing the wrong man.I cried for how foolish I was—still holding out hope for someone who had already shown me the ending.I cried because, deep dow
