Love Wilts Like a Flower Chapter 10
Three years later, I finally left the remote mountains and embraced the outside world once more. My mindset had completely changed.As soon as I arrived at the airport in Blumland, I heard someone calling to me."Mel!"I turned around and saw Hansel. His face, which was covered in stubble, broke into my line of sight.Dark circles hung beneath his eyes. He looked like he'd aged ten years."Mel, it's really you… I finally found you. Let's go home. Our child is waiting for us at home. We can go home together…"Before I could react, he pulled me into a tight embrace—so tight I could hardly breathe. He did not want to let go for even a second as if that would mean losing me forever."Miss, do you need help?"An airport security guard pried Hansel off me and stood between us. They told me that Hansel had shown up at the airport almost every day for the past three years. He had been harassing countless women and refusing to leave no matter how many times they chased him away.Look

Colin chuckled softly, but it was a sarcastic smile."Hansel Saddler, aren't you the one who's faking your symptoms? Since you can't make sense of Melissa's patient records, let me walk you through it."She suffered from severe depression after her miscarriage five years ago. Have you noticed the scars on her wrist and her neck? Do you have any idea how much suffering she's been through?"However, she refused to be warded because she needed to look after you. Every smile she put on for you hurt her more."I'm more surprised that you faked your depression. I really feel sorry for Melissa. She's getting treated abroad. I'd advise you not to harass her, unless you want her to die."Colin's harsh words drove a knife into Hansel's heart.Hansel stood there, frozen and speechless. He nearly could not breathe from the heartbreak.Memories of my lifeless eyes flashed across his mind.He wondered, "When did Mel lose her spark?"After what felt like an eternity, he finally croaked, "Wil

Back at the hospital, Hansel seemed shocked when I hung up on him, as that was a first.It suddenly occurred to him that I was hospitalized and treated for a night before I was out of critical condition, all because I accidentally consumed fish.He'd often pay attention to my diet, making sure I didn't accidentally consume fish. Even he was surprised that the detail had slipped his mind.Perhaps, he had faked his depression for too long that he had forgotten about everything else.His heart hurt. He felt oddly on edge."Hansel, what's going on? Y-You are hurting me."When he finally snapped back to reality, he let go of Giselle's wrist that had reddened from his grip. He stood up and walked out the door."I'm leaving now. I promised Mel I'd go back and be with her. I'll visit you again tomorrow."Hearing that, Giselle immediately flipped open her blanket to reveal a tight bunny suit. She hugged him tight, suffocating him with her perfume. She pressed her soft body against his c
Love Wilts Like a Flower Chapter 7
The excitement in Hansel's voice was no different than the time I became pregnant five years ago.I finally realized that his excitement stemmed from the fact that he had a child, not with whom he had a child.He did not care about the vessel carrying his child.Our years of love turned into a joke. He and I were childhood friends spanning 20 years. We went from being schoolmates to marrying each other.When I turned around, I met Colin's sympathetic gaze. He immediately offered me two pills when he noticed the gradually despairing look in my eyes and my trembling body.After I thanked him, I told him I’d get my visa and move abroad as soon as possible. …Hansel was at the hospital until nighttime, totally forgetting that he had left me in his car.Clutching the divorce agreement, I went to the inpatient department and pushed open the door to a VIP room.Hansel, who was in the middle of feeding soup to Giselle, froze upon seeing me. He blurted out, "Why are you here?"Stoppi

This was Hansel's first time driving in five years.In his five years of faking his depression, he had been good at acting. He did not talk and barely consumed anything. He even needed help to put on his clothes.My life revolved around taking care of him. Every day, I'd wake up at 6:00 am to make breakfast for him. He'd come home at midnight. I could only head to bed late after getting him in bed and washing up.I had to coax him, feed him, and take care of his physical and emotional needs. I drove him to work and to his treatment appointments.The last five years of my life were all about Hansel. I lived for him.Never had I thought that Hansel would use his psychotherapy sessions to seek pleasure with Giselle. I had so much hope in psychotherapy.No wonder he looked overjoyed before his hospital visit every time.I was more surprised at the fact that he had faked his depression. My fear, anxiety, and sacrifice over these years in hopes of his recovery were nothing but a joke.

A strong gust of wind swept past, sending the ashes into the air. My attempt at reaching out and gathering them was futile.I felt so sorry for failing to protect my unborn child. Now, I had failed to even protect his remains.Hoarse from crying, I fell on my knees, trembling all over. I clutched tightly to a fistful of ashes.I felt a warm touch on my back. Hansel was giving me a hug. He whispered, "Mel, shall I take you home? We can always have another kid. I promise."I flashed a bitter, sarcastic smile at his so-called promise.When we got married eight years ago, he had made a vow, promising to only love me in this life. But reality had proven that such promises were nothing more than poison-coated candies."Fine. Let's go home," I replied softly.It was time to pack my belongings and leave. I had no place to call home from the moment Hansel lied to me.He helped me up from the ground. I shunned Giselle, who tried to support me.She pouted while looking pitiful. "Mel, I
