Chapter 1379
In the operating room.
With Silvia around, Felix's condition had improved a lot. All the doctors were surprised, but this was not the time for them to be amazed. They had to get ready for another round of surgery.
"Silvia, Silvia..." For the past few days, Felix would call out Silvia's name whenever he was conscious.
Silvia stood beside the operating table, trying as much as she could not to interrupt the doctor's preparation. "Felix, I'm Silvia. I'm here to accompany you. You don't have to worry about the surgery, okay? Everything will be fine."
"Silvia..." Felix suddenly reached out his hand and grabbed Silvia. "Silvia, leave Jayden and return to my side, alright? I love you. I can't live without you."
"Felix, let's not talk about this first. Let's focus on the surgery instead, okay?" Everything between them was already a thing of the past. There was nothing they could do to turn back time, but why couldn't Felix understand it?
"Answer me, Silvia. If you don't, I'll refuse the surgery." This was Felix's final bargaining chip. If he could not make Silvia leave Jayden this time, then he would lose her completely. Thus, even if he were to threaten her like this, he would not hesitate one bit. For him, there was nothing more painful than losing her.
"Felix, Jayden and I are already married. I'm his wife now, so it's impossible for me to leave him. I hope that you can get well soon and find someone who can spend the rest of her life with you. Since we've already missed out on each other, we should just move on." Silvia knew that her words were harsh, but she had to say it anyway. She knew that if she did not make it clear to Felix, he would still think that they had a chance together. That was not what she wanted to see.
"Silvia, do I not own a place in your heart anymore?" All this while, Felix refused to believe that Silvia no longer loved him. He would not believe it, unless Silvia told him personally.
"Felix, you do have a place in my heart, but I only see you as my brother." In Silvia's opinion, some people were meant to stay in the past. One must not dwell in the past, but look forward in life. "You really don't have me in your heart anymore..." Felix repeated. He became so agitated that he removed the needle from the back of his hand. "Silvia, I don't care if you love me or not but you must remember this, I love you!"
"What are you doing, Felix?" Silvia screamed. She was so scared that she did not know what to do. Felix then said to her, "Silvia, I know I told you that I wouldn't mind who you got together with but they were all lies. I care about you very much and I want you to be mine. When I said those words to you, my heart felt like someone was cutting it open with a sharp knife."
Silvia was terrified. She said while sobbing, "Felix, let's not talk about this first. We can talk about it after the surgery, okay?"
Felix waved his hand to stop the doctor from approaching him. He said, "Silvia, you said you would marry me when you grow up, and that you would hold my hand and be with me forever. I remember what you've said to me, and that was the thing that kept me alive when I was dying. I told myself that you're still waiting for me and that I mustn't die because I was worried what would happen to you if I were to die."
Felix was extremely agitated. The medical staff could not hold him down nor could they give him any sedatives. If he were to undergo the surgery in this state, the doctors were worried that things might not turn out well.
Dr. Leopold said, "Miss Turner, you are his only hope now. If you don't promise him, I'm afraid that the surgery will fail before it begins."
Felix continued, "Silvia, without you, what's the point of me living?"
Felix kept calling out her name, but Silvia could no longer feel any affection that she used to have for him. She could no longer see the warm and gentle smile that he had in the past. It was as if he was no longer the Felix she knew.
Perhaps, both of them had changed. After going through so many things, he was no longer the cheerful Felix, and she was no longer the Silvia, who used to get into fights.
"Okay Felix, I promise you. I'll do whatever you say." Although it was against her will, that was her only choice at that moment.
She was the one who had wronged Felix. She must not let anything happen to him...
Felix's eyes lit up. "Silvia, are you willing to leave Jayden?"
"Yes." Silvia nodded heavily.
"Silvia, you're willing to return to my side too?" Felix asked, insisting on getting an answer.
"No Felix, we are never ever going back again. What we have between us is all in the past now. I can leave Jayden, but I can't get back together with you." That was Silvia's bottom line.
"Silvia..."
"Felix, let's get the surgery done first, okay?"
"Okay." Felix firmly believed that as long as Silvia would leave Jayden, she would eventually return to his side. Thus, he did not persist any further.
Felix's surgery was a success. The blood in his abdominal cavity was all cleared and he was no longer in a critical stage. However, the doctors still suggested that he stay in the ICU for two more days.
Now that Felix's surgery was so successful, and he was even awake, Silvia should have felt happy. However, Silvia could not bring herself to be happy at all. She did not know how she could face Jayden. More importantly, she did not know how to break up with him.
She did not want to leave Jayden at all. She wanted to stay with him forever, but she had to leave him. Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated.
"Silvia..." Silvia was deep in her thoughts when she heard Jayden calling her name. She raised her head and saw the worried look in Jayden's eyes. "Felix's surgery was a success, but why are you still not happy?"
Silvia pursed her lips. After hesitating for quite a bit, she said, "Jayden... what, what if I were to break up with you..."
Jayden, "Is that what Felix wanted?"
"How, how did you know?" Silvia was shocked. She stared at Jayden with her eyes wide open, hoping that he would give her an answer. However, he did not. Instead, he gave her a solution. "You promised him that you will leave me, but it doesn't mean that I'll let you go."
"But..."
"There are no 'buts'. I only have one question, do you want to leave me?"
Silvia shook her head desperately. "No."
Jayden added, "Since you don't want to, then just listen to me."
Silvia was still worried. "But I'm afraid that I will hurt Felix again."
Jayden's face darkened. "You're afraid of hurting him, but are you not afraid of hurting me?"
Silvia murmured, "Of course I am."
