Suddenly her image appeared before his eyes. Her small smiling face would be extremely adorable if Bertha were here.
He wants to hug her so much, he won't let go for the rest of his life...
The phone screen again showed the message Bertha had sent.
"Are you asleep? Are you unable to receive messages there?"
"Or is there no phone signal? Then I won't bother you anymore, good night."
After sending that message, Bertha's chat box no longer appeared.
His long fingers gently caressed the words Bertha sent him.
A tear slid down from the corner of Shane's eye, silently wetting his sideburns, and then it disappeared without a trace.
His heart.
Suddenly he had a feeling of desperate pain.
He was in so much pain that his bones and limbs couldn't stand it and they were shaking.
Shane lay curled up on the bed, sweat beading on his forehead, the hand clutching his chest was covered with blue veins.
Every time he breathed, he was in so much pain that his whole body trembled.
The cramping pain in my intestines persisted and never stopped, becoming more and more painful.
The pain was so unbearable, that his mouth groaned softly, his hand tremblingly pressed the warning tool at the head of the bed, but because his body lost strength, he fell from the bed to the ground.
The noise startled Edsel in the next room.
Edsel hurriedly ran to Shane's room. As soon as he pushed the door open, he was shocked.
'Shane! I told you to focus on controlling your emotions and limit the excitement that harms the heart. Once you have a heart attack, you will suffer until death."
He said as he quickly went to find the medicine, then he stuffed the medicine into Shane's mouth.
It took a while for the medicine to take effect, Edsel helped Shane into bed, and then he covered him with a blanket.
Edsel sat and watched Shane for a few more hours, until Shane was so tired that he fell asleep, and Edsel breathed a sigh of relief.
Tonight, Bertha also couldn't sleep.
She lay on the bed and looked at the light on the ceiling. She suddenly remembered that the last time Shane was on duty, he was almost hit in the heart by a bullet, bleeding a lot.
This time Shane went to the border, she heard that the situation there was very chaotic, full of vicious people who were not ordinary at all.
But Shane didn't reply to her messages, she didn't know if he was injured or if everything was resolved...
She thought for a while, not knowing when she would fall asleep.
Bertha had a bad night's sleep, and the next day, she went to work with fatigued eyes.
The man she still remembered last night suddenly returned today.
Shane was sitting on the bed reading a book, his eyes extremely attentive.
Every time his long fingers turned the pages of a book, his movements were noble, elegant, and extremely outstanding.
He just leaned his back slightly against the bed, that familiar handsome face still made people look at him passionately.
Hearing the noise at the door, the man glanced into his dark eyes, his eyes looked at her gently, his voice was low from his throat, and he called. 'Bertha.''
Bertha smiled and sat on the bed, she sat cross-legged in front of him, her hands cupping his face, she intently observed him at this close range.
''I didn't expect you to return from the border this time, but you weren't exposed to the sun there and turned into a black boy with honey-colored skin. I just want to bite you.''
She gently kissed Shane's cold lips twice. Like a child winning candy, she smiled evilly in satisfaction.
'Shane, why didn't you tell me before you left? If I hadn't accidentally seen Liam standing outside the door, maybe even now, I still wouldn't have known about your return. Do you want to surprise me?''
Shane smiled faintly, trying to hide the tiredness in his eyes.
''Yes, it was a surprise.''
Although he tried to hide it, Bertha still realized that his mood was a bit depressed, and his voice was also shallow.
''Shane, is this border trip not going well? Why do I get the feeling you're not happy?''
Shane pursed his lips, then he extended his arms toward Bertha.
Bertha immediately understood she sat to his left, resting her head on his shoulder, her cold little hand reached into the dark black nightgown he was wearing, and she groped his waist. His warmth.
He was so cold that he was trembling slightly, but he still didn't move, the corner of his mouth showed a pampering look, letting her cold hands touch his body and grope his skin.
''Among the long-time senior employees of Miller Corporation, a person has been with me for many years. He has devoted his whole life to Miller Corporation. He and his wife also love each other very much.''
He spoke in a low voice, his expression exuding calmness.
Bertha realized that he seemed to have a lot to say tonight, so she just silently hugged his waist, she looked up and seriously listened to Shane's story.
''Recently, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he only had a few months to live, he didn't dare tell his wife. He didn't want her to know about this, so he asked me to think of a way, but in matters related to death like this, it's tough for me to choose.''
After Bertha listened, she felt a bit heavy in her heart, she exclaimed: ''The relationship between him and his wife is so good that if his wife knew, she would be the most depressed person. Moreover, in matters related to life and death like this, the person who suffers the most is the one who stays behind.''
Shane's spine suddenly stiffened, and his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he was trying to hide the sadness in his eyes.
''That's right, the living is the ones suffering the most.''
Half a year ago, because of his death, Bertha was so miserable that she turned into that appearance.
There's nothing more painful than losing something you once had.
If she goes through that again, she'll probably be devastated, right?
Bertha didn't detect Shane's lost mood, because she was also remembering something half a year before something happened to him.
Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable and her eyes turned red.
Her white arms hugged Shane's waist even tighter.
