My Love for You Broke Me

Chapter 261

I had the will to live and didn't want to leave the world so soon. That was why I would be willing to try the surgery

even if I was reluctant to do it on the inside since it would help with my illness. Deep down inside, I knew that I was

unwilling to leave this world.

At this moment, it felt different than I was with Nicholas before, probably because it was Shawn. I would give up on

everything, but not him! Although I looked like I had everything, I had nothing. The only warmth I had was given to

Shawn, but he would never forgive me again. In the end, Shawn was just my fantasy.

…

When it was almost nighttime, Anthony sent me a message. 'Everything's set, Miss.'

'Where is it located?' I asked him.

Anthony replied, 'Since France has a medical institute specializing in this field, I made an appointment there.

Moreover, nothing will go wrong since the doctors doing your surgery are experts, and their success rate is over

ninety-five percent!'

He was always such a reliable person.

'Alright.'

Anthony then asked, 'When are you going to France, Miss?'

Thinking for a while, I replied, 'Tomorrow.' After all, I didn't want to wait any longer. Plus, it would be hard for Shawn

to suspect anything if I were in France.

At that moment, I didn't know that Shawn was watching my every step!

After confirming the date with Joseph, I put my phone in my pocket and decided to head to the hospital to visit May.

When I opened the apartment door, I realized that Joseph was guarding the entrance. Hence, I asked in curiosity,

"Why are you standing here rather than resting in your room?"

"You went out alone again yesterday," Joseph explained in a deep voice.

Hearing his words, I recalled yesterday's event. If it weren't for Nicholas, I would have fainted at the entrance!

"I'm sorry. Why don't you accompany me to the hospital?" I smiled guiltily.

When Joseph and I arrived at the hospital, we didn't see May, and the doctor told us that she had been discharged

yesterday! I remembered that she didn't look mentally well when I visited her yesterday, so something must have

happened now that she was discharged immediately! I wondered if Rudy indeed filed a divorce with her.

Thinking about it, I was worried about her injuries, so I took out my phone and called her. When she didn't pick it up,

I was anxious and hurriedly asked Joseph to help me check on her whereabouts. After some time, Joseph said to

me, "Ms. Sommer went to Mizzle Town yesterday night."

Mizzle Town… It was where Alba had lived.

May is my best friend, and I'm worried about her. I wonder why she left the hospital while still injured and went to

where Alba used to live.

Thinking about it, I looked at Joseph and said, "Let's go to Mizzle Town."

There was a long distance between Bryxton to Mizzle Town, and it suddenly rained while we were traveling. By the

time we arrived, it was already midnight.

On the road, Joseph told me that May was now living at that old house where Alba used to live when he was alive.

Alba's grandmother used to live there, but she had moved out ever since he passed away. Hence, what was left was

just an empty house.

The rain was still pouring, and Joseph held an umbrella for me as we walked along an alley for about eight minutes

before arriving at that old house. As I pushed open the door, I saw a square-sized backyard. Then, I noticed May

wearing very few clothes. At that moment, she was sitting in a wheelchair, staring at the rain droplets dripping off

the roof with empty eyes. I didn't know what she was thinking about, but I could feel the despair radiating from her.

Seeing her in such a state made my heart hurt, and I quickly rushed to her side. Then, I crouched in front of her

and called out to her softly, saying, "May."

When she heard my voice, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Ree."

The wound on her face had yet to heal, and it looked terrifying with the yellow ointment. However, her eyes were

shining brightly; that was the only color left on her.

"It's me," I replied gently.

"Thank you for coming here to be with me, Ree." As she spoke, her tone was full of gratitude.

"Did something happen?" I asked in a low voice.

Hearing my words, May shook her head and said in a weak tone, "I'm fine. It's just that I miss Alba, that's all. It has

almost been two years since he left me, and I have been living miserably ever since. The only warmth that I felt

was from you and Rudy, but now… I realized that I still can't forget about Alba!"

Hearing the gratitude in her tone, I felt relieved since this proved that the reason she was here wasn't that Rudy

had bullied her.

"What are you planning to do?" I asked her gently.

"I want to get a divorce with Rudy and stay here to accompany Alba," she replied.

At that moment, I didn't know that she had already signed the divorce papers and had gotten the divorce

certificate. The reason she told me a white lie was because she was afraid that I would be worried about her and

head to Rudy's place to argue with him for her sake. That was why she lied to me and said that she wanted to get a

divorce from Rudy.

"A divorce with Rudy? Are you out of your mind?"

"I have thought about this decision thoroughly, and I still love Alba! I want to be able to make up for my feelings for

him, Ree," said May softly as she sat in the wheelchair.

Looking at the wheelchair, I knew that it was from Alba without guessing. I knew that she loved Alba dearly to the

point that she would sacrifice everything for him and was still willing to stay by his side after he died. During those

years without him, she had built a grave and buried herself in it, along with her love!

At that moment, I remembered the first time I accompanied May to this town. May was anxious, frightened, happy,

and filled with hope! I knew that she loved Alba, but I didn't know what was the point of her being so persistent

about it when Alba had already died, long gone from this world. Moreover, she told me personally that she loved

Rudy!

Thinking about it, I wanted to scold May, telling her to snap out of it and forget about this matter. However, I

suddenly recalled that she was terrified that Rudy would divorce her yesterday. Suddenly, I realized something was

off, and May was still hiding something from me!

Even if I had thought it through, I didn't want to give her a hard time anymore. Then, I pushed her into the house

and saw that it had been cleaned up nicely. "The neighbor next to me helped me clean the room and made dinner

for me yesterday," May explained.

I ignored her, and she knew I was upset, so she swung my arm. In the end, I couldn't bear to give her the cold

shoulder anymore and said gloomily, "I don't care about what happened between you and Rudy, but you can't stay

here. No one is here to take care of you, and I suppose I will be staying at Bryxton from now on. Thus, it's better if

you go back with me."

"I'll head to Bryxton after I recover." May nodded her head and obliged.

Looking at her, I said worriedly, "Now…"

"Don't worry, Ree. I can take care of myself. I promise I won't make myself suffer." She smiled brightly at me.

Looking at her bright smile right now, I didn't know that she was hiding the misery in her.

"I'll ask two of my men to stay and take care of you," I said, and I insisted when I saw that she was going to refuse.

"This is my only requirement."

Then, she didn't refuse anymore. Since I had to fly to France the next day, I left hurriedly and told Joseph to

investigate May!

When we were almost at Bryxton, he told me the result of his search. "Miss, Ms. Sommer received the divorce

certificate Rudy sent in the morning."
