“Honestly, I've tried my best, but. He didn't need to finish.

Nelson sighed and nodded.

“If I had agreed to the surgery earlier, she would have... Right?" He couldn't even bring himself to say it.

Josiah too couldn't say anything.

They both knew the truth.

Cathy had been complaining about her headaches for a long time. Nelson knew he had to do something about it, but he was too indecisive. This was where it brought them.

Camila was right.

He had indeed saved Cathy years back

But today, he was the one that had killed her.

Josiah sighed heavily.

He didn't have any comforting words to offer.

Nelson walked to the operating table where Cathy lay still. She had stopped breathing. A violent chill went through his body as he fell on his knees. He grabbed her hand tightly and cried bitterly, "Cathy! oh Cathy! This is all my fault!"

He hit the table with his fist and shouted in pain, "I brought this upon us. If only I had agreed to the operation sooner then... Then you would have been here with me..."

Nelson wept and hit the floor with his head in anger.

Josiah stood at the back in silence, his eyes closed the whole time.

“Cathy, Cathy..."

Nelson's shoulders shook violently as he cried.

His face was covered in tears and snot, but he didn't care.

He had never felt this sad before in his life. It seemed to have pulled him into a black hole with no way out.

He didn't care about the people that watched him. It was as though they didn't exist to him.

The image he had spent so many years building mattered not to him anymore.

“What am I going to do without you?" His voice broke as he sobbed hard. He brought Cathy's hand to his mouth and kissed it as his tears fell down.

“Don't, please. Don't Leave me alone...”

Camila looked away from the scene.

After watching that, she could hardly discard the fact that Nelson loved Cathy.
