Love Is Regret, It's Also You

When my life almost came to the end,

the first thing I did was to hand over the divorce agreement to my husband who didn't like me.

The second thing was to go back to my hometown and wait for death.

Unexpectedly, not long after I returned home,

the developer in the town came to the nail households who were unwilling to move one by one.

And my nominal husband was the developer here.

When he saw me, he shouted at me to go back without saying a word.

But this was my last way out.

I said with a brave face, "Can you let me stay for a while longer? I will leave soon."

"I would never appear in front of you again."

...

***

I didn't know if it was because I hadn't been back for a long time.

I was a little unaccustomed to the weather in the small town.

I occasionally caught a cold and had a fever.

Maybe it was because I was approaching the end of my life, I had developed a fear of hospitals.

I dared not go to the hospital for a check-up, so I bought some fever-reducing medicine from the pharmacy outside.

My headache was severe at the moment, and I was tossing and turning in bed.

I struggled to sit up.

It felt like something was about to come out of my chest.

I couldn't help but cover my mouth and cough violently.

My chest kept vibrating.

It hurt so much that I could hardly breathe.

Waiting until I calmed down,

I tremblingly came to the bathroom.

My whole palm was soaked in blood, and the air was filled with a strong sweet and bloody smell.

I washed my hands and leaned on the washbasin, looking at myself in the mirror.

The scattered long hair stuck to my face in a mess.

But my face was pale without any color of blood.

After the dizziness faded away, I started to clean the blood stains on my body.

Fortunately, there was only me at home, so no one would see me in this miserable state.

But if Matt saw me like this...

He should think that I was trying to attract his attention again.

I smiled helplessly and coughed even harder.

Because of the fever, the coughing affected my ears buzzing.

After a while, I finally recovered.

I went to get some water and took painkillers.

Anyway, I still needed to sleep.
