Chapter 473: I Don’t Want Them to Be Sad
She knew Henry well. When he was angry and emotional, he would lock himself in his room and refuse to eat, but he would never do anything too extreme.
The crackling in the room probably meant that he had accidentally fallen down.
But…
She thought about how it was useless for her to stay in the hospital at the moment and how Bruno did not want to see her at all! Her appearance would only worsen Bruno’s health.
Moreover, she had to adjust her emotions.
She could not just sit here and cry forever. The next time she saw Bruno, she had to smile and have a strong heart.
Therefore, it was better to go to the hotel first.
Erwin and Nancy returned to the hotel room together.
Looking at the exhausted Nancy, Erwin said gently, “Go take a shower first. Eat something to fill your stomach before you take a rest.”
“I’ll go take a look at Henry.”
Nancy nodded. “Okay.”
Erwin walked toward the door of Henry’s room.
He knocked on the door gently. “Henry, can you open the door and let me in for a while?”
There was no movement in the room.
Henry did not seem to be able to hear him at all.
However, Erwin knew that Henry would definitely be able to hear him!
Erwin continued, “Your mommy is back as well. We’re worried about you. If you’re really unwilling to open the door, I can only…”
At this moment, the door to the room was opened from the inside.
It was Henry who opened the door.
He only took a glance at Erwin before turning around and returning to the corner of his bed. He hugged his legs and sat there without saying a word.
Erwin followed Henry into the room.
He saw that a vase in the room had broken into pieces.
He did not ask why. It was not important that the vase had broken into pieces.
Erwin only took a glance and was relieved to find that there was no blood on the broken vase. He walked straight to Henry’s side.
Erwin reached out and gently rubbed Henry’s head. His gaze was gentle as he said softly, “Why didn’t you eat? Why did you lock yourself in your room?”
“Mommy will be worried about you if you do that. Besides, it’s not just mommy. It’s me and Bruno too. We’ll all be worried about you.”
Henry raised his head.
His eyes were red as he tried his best to hold back his tears as he looked at Erwin. “Daddy won’t worry about me. He won’t even acknowledge me. He won’t want me anymore!”
“He won’t!” Erwin affirmed.
He looked at Henry with a determined gaze and told him gently, “You are so outstanding and adorable. No one will be willing to give up on you.”
“Daddy won’t give up on you!”
“He’s just sick, so he probably doesn’t want Henry to see him fall sick. He doesn’t want Henry to feel bad…”
Henry asked, “Is that really the case?”
Erwin replied, “Yes!”
He told Henry with absolute certainty, “That must be the case!”
Henry was depressed for a long time.
He thought that Bruno really did not want him anymore, and he was extremely sad. He felt even worse than when he was sick and about to die in the past.
Upon hearing Erwin’s words and hearing Erwin’s affirmation, his dark eyes immediately lit up. “So daddy didn’t really abandon me!”
“VVhat does it matter if he is sick? I was very sick in the past and was on the verge of death. Now, I’m still being treated by the doctor. Am I not fine now?”
“Daddy will definitely get better too!”
Henry immediately stood up.
He was going to the hospital to see his daddy right now. He had to tell his daddy not to be afraid and not to abandon him and his mommy. They would accompany him to fight against his illness.
He would accompany his daddy just like how he had accompanied him before.
Furthermore, he would definitely not be a deserter for any reason. He would persevere to the end and stay by his side until he recovered!
He ran to the door.
When he saw that Erwin did not follow Erwin, Henry turned to look at Erwin and asked. “Why don’t you drive to the hospital with me?”
Erwin did not reject Henry directly.
Instead, he asked and told Henry, “How about tomorrow? Tomorrow morning, I’ll bring you and mommy to the hospital to see him.” “It’s already too late today. Bruno is resting too.”
“At this time, let’s not disturb him.”
“Besides, you haven’t eaten today. Let’s go down first and eat with mommy. How about it?”
Henry was speechless
He wanted to see daddy right now.
However, after some thought, he decided to nod. “Alright.”
Then, that night.
Erwin came to the hospital alone and appeared in Bruno’s ward.
Looking at the man who had been tormented by his illness, Erwin said in a deep voice, “I know you’re very sick right now and don’t want to acknowledge them.”
“But they really want to be with you!”
“Nancy suffered so much to find you. Did you see the scar on her cheek? It was because she wanted to find you that she was deceived and left with that scar.”
“And Henry. He locked himself up after he went back today…”
Erwin wanted to talk about Nancy and Henry with Bruno, but he did not allow Erwin to say too much.
Bruno’s gaze was cold.
He pointed at the door and said in a loud voice, “Get lost. Get out now!”
“Why are you doing this?”
Erwin asked, “You’re very sick. You only have three months to live at most. Can’t you just cherish these three months?”
“Let them accompany you to fight against the disease. Perhaps a miracle will happen. What if you recover?”
Erwin had a detailed chat with Bruno’s doctor.
He knew that it was a slim chance of recovery.
Thus, Erwin continued, “Even if it doesn’t work, you’ll still have to… let them accompany you through this final journey…” “There’s no need!”
Bruno interrupted Erwin.
He turned to look out the window.
It was late at night, but the lights outside the hospital were still on. He could still see the lonely withered tree with only a fallen leaf hanging on it.
It looked tenacious, but the withered leaves would eventually fall.
A bitter smile appeared on Bruno’s face as he continued, “I don’t want to see Nancy crying every day for the next three months.” “I don’t want her and Henry to cry for me and feel sorry for me.”
“Just take it that I’m being selfish!”
Bruno said, “I just want to spend the last three months peacefully and die.”
After he finished speaking.
He turned around and looked at Erwin.
His pitch-black eyes were deep as he instructed Erwin, “I’ve handed over both Nancy and Henry to you. You must treat them well for the rest of your life.”
“Don’t let her suffer anymore!”
“Pamper her and Henry. Give them a complete and happy family.”
Erwin was conflicted
