Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 448:

Rachel snapped a few more pictures of the couple, each one capturing the warmth of the sunlight and the soft breeze that lifted Myrna’s hair. In every shot, they…

They looked like the perfect couple—wrapped in each other’s arms, their love on full display.

Myrna faced the camera with a gentle smile, while Huey’s eyes stayed fixed on her, filled with tenderness.

What a beautiful sight! Rachel couldn’t deny that she felt a little jealous. To be cherished by someone so deeply—it was truly a rare and precious gift.

After capturing the moment, she handed the phone back to Myrna, who eagerly showed the pictures to Huey. His face lit up with the same joy, as if those images alone were enough to bring him happiness.

Around noon, Huey ordered lunch, and they ate together.

Because of Myrna’s condition, she could only manage a little liquid food. Seeing this, Huey barely ate anything himself.

Myrna, noticing his lack of appetite, playfully nudged him. “Huey, eat more. You’ve lost weight lately, and it’s starting to show in the photos. If this keeps up, I might stop finding you handsome.”

Huey straightened up and nodded immediately. “Alright, I’ll eat properly.”noveldrama

And with that, he finished every last bite.

After lunch, Huey stepped out to take care of some matters, leaving the ladies alone in the hospital room.

Rachel hesitated for a moment before speaking. “Myrna, your mindset amazes me. How do you manage to stay so positive?”

Deep down, Rachel couldn’t shake the thought that one day, she too might end up in a hospital bed, just like Myrna. Would she be able to face it with the same resilience? Or would she crumble under the weight of it all? She wanted to learn from Myrna.

Myrna smiled softly. “To be honest, I wasn’t always this way. I was a mess in the beginning. When I first got diagnosed, it felt like the whole world collapsed around me. I couldn’t accept it. I didn’t want to drag Huey down with me, so I told him we should break up. But he refused. No matter how much I pushed him away, he wouldn’t leave. Eventually, I became desperate. I disappeared, hoping he’d finally give up. I locked myself away, shutting out the entire world. But no matter where I ran, Huey always found me. Then…”

Myrna paused, her smile turning bitter.

“Then, I did something even more foolish. I tried to end my own life. I cut my wrists, took sleeping pills—once, twice, three times… But every time, Huey found me. He never let me go. I’ll never forget that night. I woke up after another failed attempt, and there he was, sitting beside me, holding a knife to his chest. He told me that if I died, he’d follow me immediately. No hesitation, no second thoughts.”

Rachel had thought she was long past the age where love stories could move her.

And yet, hearing this, she felt something tighten in her chest. Blinking away the tears gathering at the corners of her eyes, she took a quiet breath, trying to steady herself.

Myrna went on, “That night changed everything. I was terrified—I didn’t dare to try again. That was when I decided I had to be strong. Now, I’ve made up my mind to cherish every moment. Even if I only get one more second with him, it’s worth it. It was his love that brought me back. His love gave me the strength to fight this illness.”

In that moment, Myrna seemed to glow under the sunlight, radiating warmth and light.

Rachel watched her with admiration. “To be loved like that… it’s a rare blessing. A kind of happiness most people only dream of.”
