Dead Heart (2)

Su Xue was nineteen when she left the country to study architecture at Harvard. After that, Su Xue started her own architectural company. Three months after the opening of her company, Su Xue started experiencing symptoms of the Dead Heart disease. Since it was a rare illness, not every doctor knew about the disease. When Su Xue was taken to the hospital, the same doctor, Doctor Song, that was in charge of his father's case years ago was also assigned to her. This gave Su Xue a bit of comfort. Since he had dealt with this case once before he should be able to save her but unfortunately, that wasn't going to happen. Doctor Song told her that she was already in the last stage of the illness. There was nothing they could do about it. Su Xue didn't believe him and tried to find other doctors both inside the country and outside the country but none of them knew anything about the disease.

Su Xue didn't know how to break this news to her grandparents. Ye Ning is the only person that knows about her condition. It's been five months since she was diagnosed with the Dead Heart disease. She didn't want to break their heart. They lost their only child and now they were going to lose their only grandchild. How would they bear all of this?. Su Xue was even scared that they might be the ones to pass on first due to shock. They were already old. They should not be getting overly excited or shocked.

Su Xue walked to her bed and grabbed her phone. She dialed Lu Tian's number. To her greatest surprise, he answered her call.

"Miss Su?" Lu Tian.

Su Xue glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost 10:00 pm.

Su Xue was quiet for a while before she said

"Sorry. I shouldn't have chased you out like that."

"Miss Su you have every right to do whatever you want with me I don't mind" Lu Tian said.

"If I want you to come over, will you still come?" Su Xue asked with a laugh.

"Yes. Do you want me to come?" Lu Tian asked as he stood up from where he was sitting.

"No. It's already getting late." Su Xue answered.

"Can I see you tomorrow?" Lu Tian asked with a hopeful tone.

It was silent for a while before Su Xue spoke

"Lu Tian. We shouldn't see each other anymore. I only called you to apologize"

"But...." Lu Tian did not finish his statement when the call ended.

Su Xue felt miserable and lonely. Though she had Ye Ning by her side, she didn't want to be a burden on anyone and wanted to carry her cross alone. She thought she wouldn't need anyone and that she would quietly deal with this but she was wrong. She could have taken Lu Tian back but she was already tired of the games she was playing with him.
