Troublemaker Boy novel Chapter 34

Playlist: Stay with me - Sam Smith

The doctor looked at Farrel with an inexplicable gaze, he walked over to Farrell and tapped Farrel lightly on the shoulder, "We are sorry."

Farrel's eyes made perfect, he immediately burst into Retha's room. Her long steps stopped when she saw the sisters removing the tools that had been used to help Retha live. Now, almost half of the tools have been removed and there is only a breathing device left that is attached to Retha's nose. As one of the nuns started about to let go, Farrel shouted, causing the nun to stop.

"You will die if you dare to remove the device from his body," Farrell's cold voice caused the two nuns in front of him to stop their activities.

"Sorry, sir. Your wife is gone, you have to give up."

"Not!" snapped Farrel, "my wife is still alive! Put the tools back on, you are causing her pain, hurry up and put it on!"

The two nuns looked at each other, then they walked out of the terrifying room without heeding all of Farrell's calls to tell them to come back and put the devices back on.

"No, no, no!" Farrel ran towards Retha's gurney.

With trembling hands, Farrel took one by one the tools that had been attached to Retha's body. However, it seems in vain because Farrel doesn't know the function and has to put the tools where they are.

Farrel glared at Retha, who was lying lifeless. In front of Farrel now was only the body of the woman he loved so much, without any more life in her. Now, everything is finished. Maybe they were not meant to be together, maybe their soul mate had ended up here.

"If one day I leave, and won't come back again, how about you?"

The question suddenly made Farrell's closed eyes open wide. Currently, he and Retha are relaxing in the gazebo with Farrel sleeping on his wife's thigh.

"What do you do? Yes, if you go, I'll go too." Farrel answered casually but sarcastically, of course he did not like his wife's question.

"If I die, will you marry again or not?" asked Retha again.

"No." Farrell replied quickly. "If you die, so do I."

Retha smiled faintly. He rubbed the top of Farrell's head as he had done the last few minutes with great affection, after which the woman sighed heavily.

"Farrell," he called softly.

Farrel just muttered in response, his eyes too heavy to open because the caress on his head was really a powerful lullaby.

"If later I go, and I won't come back again. Please don't come along, okay? You have to continue living."

Farrel muttered again, confirmed Retha's vague words. After that, Farrell actually fell into his senses, and he began to fall asleep.

Farrel recalls several years ago, when he and Retha were relaxing in the gazebo of their house. Farrel cursed himself, why could he be this stupid? If he didn't tell Retha to run to the highway, then this wouldn't have happened. And if anyone is to blame for this incident it is actually himself.

"Mother ..." Dave's voice distracted Farrel's attention.

The boy was crying in his wheelchair pushed by Valerie, seeing Dave like this, made Farrel's heart break even more. How could he explain to Dave what had happened?

"Dave," Farrell called softly, "Your mother is gone."

"Where did you go? Why didn't she take me? She said she would never leave me! Dad, where are you? I want to come!"

"Mother has gone to a far, and beautiful place. Dave, you can't come, your life is still long. We both belong to each other," said Farrel comforting the boy.

"No, I don't want to. I just want to be with you, I don't want to be with you if you aren't around. Where is that far away place? Tell me, I want to catch up with you!" Dave started pounding Farrel's shoulder, tears already streaming down his chubby cheeks.
