Chapter 18 A Year To Life

"That's rude you know? "Zuchen chipped in when she suddenly cut the phone

"I know right?" she bluffed as she stares at the sky.."So empty and lonely!" she sighs as she kept looking at her phone screen

"Are you expecting someone's call? you keep staring at it " Zichen removes a strand of hair from her face and she flinches

"not used to a man's touch " She apologized not wanting any misunderstanding

"Ooh so what you said to me last time was true? you really hate the opposite sex dont you? I know I might be prying into your private life but can you spare me some secrets?"Zichen carefully says not to make anyone seem offensive

"Ooh that well...I never grew up with a parent talkless of love ,I grew up with my Grandpa,My parent divorced when I was 7 because of some misunderstanding, I guess my mother was a cheat and got pregnant for another man I guess,but all I heard was that the marriage was over! I begged and begged but it seemed I became a thin air for them " she scoffed as she held her tears

"That's all,it doesn't seem that's all,for you to hate children to that core then something big must have happened right?"Zichen asked

"Haven't I spared a little secret why do you wanna know more?" she rest on his shoulders..."anyways I have been confirmed with kidney cancer which its at the second stage,it can't be cured and I have only a year to life Soo why not die now? at least when you've little loved ones Soo the grieve won't be much? I am such a loner Soo who'd care about me,I am rumored the killer,minster just name it!"

"I dont think you're that bad only when angry! Yuxi? can you drop all self blame you've been throwing at yourself? when you tried to kill yourself I found out that its not your voice inside you,its a mind controller and you've got to get it out of your head "

"No therapist has been able to help me,I am kinda hopeless just leave it like that " she removes her head and looks at him

"Only a year? you've not found a donor?" Zichen stands up as they both head towards the car where Meimei had laid peacefully

"who cares! my grandpa tried finding one but immediately they hear its for me many people shiver in fear,maybe I am that scary!" she enters the car and shuts the door and they drove to Yuxi house

"Are you sure you dont wanna crash at my house? I dont feel comfortable leaving you alone after what has happened " he says as Yuxi stops in her tracks

"Its okay I am tired to do anything stupid!" she yawns as she bids him goodbye and enters into her house and locks the door.

"Can I wake up now?"Meimwi chuckles as she gets up startling Zichen

"You're not asleep?"
