Chapter 8: Powerless

In the face of death, no one can resist its harvest of your soul. You want to live, you want to continue the life you haven't enjoyed, but death won't give you that chance...

When I heard the news of Christao's death, I was cold, as if death was hurting Christao, and the cold light of his scythe was also stabbing me. I froze in place, trying to say something, but the news of Christao's death left me speechless, and I wanted to cry, but the tears were imprisoned in my eyes...

"She... She... Yes! Tang Rong screamed first, although her heart-rending shout pierced my heart, but I couldn't cry like her, and I couldn't use tears to vent my grief.

Tang Rong, who was pregnant, didn't care about the child in her belly, and her legs were overwhelmed and she collapsed to the ground, but even so, she was still desperately moving towards the operating room, and the nails that were clasping the ground made a terrible sound...

"Chris... Chris Peach, what's wrong with her? Is Christao going to come out in a while? "How can I accept such a fact, a few hours ago Crissy Tao was still standing alive in front of me, and was still with me in the mall to pick out her child's future clothes, how could it be now...

"Rui Rui, you calm down, don't get excited." Wu Yao held my cheek, although from his eyes I saw a calm darkness, but through the darkness I saw despair...

We've been with Christao for so long, and even though we come from two different countries and have been educated in different cultures, we see each other as confidants, and we can confide in each other about anything... Over the years, we have known each other and have established a relationship that is deeper than friends, and she is like my family...

"No... No, it won't! How could she die! How could she die! I pushed Wu Yao away with all my might, turned around and walked into the operating room, perhaps because my lower body had not yet recovered its strength, so that I almost fell like Tang Rong when I turned around.

I wish the operating room was a delivery room, and Cristao was asleep from a C-section. But the curdling blood that dripped from that place revealed the cruel truth, and the scene through the translucent film was even more horrific...

"Uh... Uh..."Although I didn't look directly at the tragic appearance of the two dead babies, I couldn't bear it with this barrier alone, and the smell of disinfectant water and blood in the air mixed together, which also irritated my nasal cavity even more.

Through the curtain, I saw Christao lying on the bed, the outline of her body faintly visible, even though her face was obscured by a white cloth.

I was about to walk over to take a look at Cristao's remains, but was pulled back by Wu Yao and Xu Shaohui. "Don't look!" Even though the two of them were clutching my arms, I could feel them trembling and their tone was a little unbearable.

"Nope! I have to see it! "I struggled to shake the arms they had imprisoned, but their strength was so great that I couldn't do anything to struggle, and I was just pinned to the spot by them.

I heard Tang Rong's heart-rending cry behind me, although she was about to come in, she was also stopped by Qin Feng. As for Cristao's so-called "husband" William, he was still sitting on a chair outside the operating room at this time...

I reached for the curtain that blocked my view, trying to open the gap between me and Christao. But it's like a barrier between us and death, Cristao is on the other side of death, and I'm on this side of life...

Wu Yao and Xu Shaohui couldn't stop me from wanting to see Cristao, although they still tried their best to stop me, but I approached the operating table with Cristao little by little.

One step, two steps..."Whew! "Finally, I opened the curtain with my own hands, and saw Kris Tao covered in a white cloth, and at this time, tears welled up like a spring, and the sky was spinning in front of me...

"Ahh Yes! "I screamed and screamed at the top of my voice, hoping that my screams would snatch Cristao back from death, that she would walk safely off the operating table, but...

"Let go of me!" I raised my leg and kicked Wu Yao's stomach, and after a period of colic, Wu Yao also collapsed to the ground, Xu Shaohui saw the situation and quickly helped Wu Yao up, letting go of the hand that was holding me.

When I put my hand on the white cloth, I only felt a tingling in my heart, and when I pulled it away a little bit, revealing Christao's face a little bit, the tears in my eyes became even more turbulent...

Once the sunniest smile on Christao's face, the pupils that once shimmered with sapphire blue, and the gentleness that used to be revealed between the lines... Now... It's all gone.

The upturned corners of her mouth froze on both sides of her cheeks at the moment, and the sapphire blue pupils were also covered by the eyelids, and as for the gentleness, it also turned into the blood that dried on her cheeks...

Although Christao has fallen asleep forever and does not have the makeup she should have on her face, she is smiling, as if her wish has been fulfilled...

"Chris Peach... I'm sorry for you, I'm the one who hurt you, I shouldn't have taken you to the mall, and I shouldn't have taken you out of the hospital... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."I confessed as I fell on top of her, listening to her heartless chest, but she couldn't hear me anymore...

The last time I saw the operating table was when I had surgery, and Chris Tao said with tears in her eyes that she wanted me to be strong... When I saw the operating table this time, the person lying on it changed his appearance and became my best friend.

Scold... It's ridiculous... I thought that the damn person would be me, and the person who went to hell in advance and abandoned his friends in the world should be me, how could I have thought that it would be the kind Christao...

Touching her cold corpse, thinking back to the heat she once had, all the emotions of guilt and debt overwhelmed me. It's me who hurt Christao, it's me...

"Ahh I screamed again, and after that shout I seemed to feel the sweetness of the blood in my throat, the taste of it mixed with tears, but I didn't have time to savor it.

At that moment, the body lost its strength again, and the whole person collapsed in front of the operating table. Little by little, the strength flowed out of my body, so that I had no strength to open my eyes, and I wished that Christao could walk down from the operating table at this time and wake me up...

However, she didn't...

In the darkness, I seemed to hear Christao's voice again, and saw her dancing in the sun...
