Love You Can’t Say

Leo shuddered and turned his face, saw me being tackled, gritted his teeth and let out a low whimper, refusing to give in any more, but the pain from his right arm that separated flesh and bone still called him to bare his teeth uncontrollably and shouted, “Don’t cry Clara, can’t cry, I’m fine, er ah-! ”

“Benjamin! If you don’t get me killed today, I’ll make the rest of your life worse than death!”

“Leo stop it!” I cried, my voice almost begging, please, just this once, don’t be a hero.

However, my worst fears still happened, his stubbornness stimulated the hands of the black man, the black man looked at his pain, playful smile, and then slowly raised his hand, the blood-stained steel pipe over his head.

Finally, security from both the neighborhood and the house rushed over, warning with voices from far away at the intersection, “Stop! What are you doing! Put the stuff down!”

The sound of dense footsteps got closer and closer, and I almost thought Leo was going to be saved.

But I forgot, they were originally a gang of desperadoes, even though they knew what would happen if they were caught, but none of them left their companions, instead they all looked at the black man stepping on Leo, like watching a “holy” ritual.

“LOL-”

The sound of cracking bones overshadowed all the noise into my ear canal, Leo numbly stiffened his neck, and then his whole face fell heavily to the ground, no longer able to make any sound.

The whole world seemed to become mute at this moment, and I only saw the red on Leo’s arm.

The blacks were vicious, and at first security did not take advantage, and as the number of yellow people who joined the fight gradually increased, this gave an advantage.

No one pays any attention to me anymore, instead I crawled to Leo’s side as if I were in no man’s land, easily.

I hugged him, my mouth vaguely talking to myself, “It’s okay, it’s just a superficial wound, it will heal, it will heal …”

I don’t know if I’m comforting the unconscious Leo, or comforting myself, I just know I don’t dare to touch the bloody arm, and I don’t dare to look at it, as if there is no hope to look at it.

The Leo who treats me the same as always, the best Leo in the world, how can there be one hand missing?

What’s wrong with him? He just taught a scum a lesson for his sister, why should he be treated so unfairly?

I can’t figure it out, tears to the end all turned into hatred for Benjamin, I can’t wait to eat him all alive!

…

The operation went on from night until daylight, when the red light went out and the nurse pushed a sleeping Leo out of the operating room.

With an IV hanging by the bed, Leo was covered only with a thin hospital quilt, and if his right hand didn’t have a thick, blood-stained gauze, it looked like he was asleep.

I came forward, lying on the side of the hospital bed, his face has a few small scrapes, but does not affect his features of the yuppie, and even add a few tough guys for this reason.

His eyes suddenly turned red, he sniffled, looked up and asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is my brother’s condition?”

After a night of surgery, the doctor’s face didn’t look too good, and nodded somewhat tiredly, “It’s past the danger period.”

“However,” the doctor wanted to say, “Mrs. George, Mr. Kennedy’s right hand is a fracture injury, the later need to bone surgery, in addition, although sent to the hospital in time, the arm muscle tissue is still necrotic a considerable part, even if the recovery, the nerve is unable to Reproduction of …”

“It’s just …” I made a swallowing motion, swallowed all the tension, and forced myself to play it cool, “In the future, the right hand, can’t be used, right?”

The doctor sighed “With the current level of medical care, it’s very likely.”

“You have to be prepared.”

After saying that, he took the nurse and left.

I stood still, not knowing where to go.

The sound of high heels clicking in the hallway, accompanied by the sound of small steps, Folly rushed in, looked at the operating room with the double doors wide open, and put her hand on my shoulder, “Is everything okay?”

I couldn’t hold back any longer and hugged her and cried out, “Leo’s right hand is broken and will never be cured! It’s all my fault!”

Perhaps people always have to witness the injury and humiliation of their loved ones before they realize how useless they are.

I can’t give my feelings, but I also let him take a hand for me, I completely lost the idea.

I have never been so disappointed and angry with Dennis at any moment when I saw him, and I even stopped crying so abruptly that I didn’t want him to see, “What are you doing here?”

Without waiting for his answer, he said to himself again, “Coming to see our joke for Benjamin? You’ve served your purpose, you can go now.”

The person I wanted to pull back from the devil countless times, but now I have to push away with my own hands, how can I feel better in my heart.

But I couldn’t help it, couldn’t stand Dennis’ indifference like a stranger, at least, not when Leo was unconscious.

I hate anyone, including myself, as if the whole world is a pusher to harm Leo.

Dennis was unmoved, his thin lips slightly open, “Leo is too reckless.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you mean?” When emotions get the better of you, any little nuance will be infinitely magnified, and his words irritated me so deeply that I didn’t hesitate to speak viciously, “Are you saying that Leo had it coming and said he deserved it?”

Dennis closed his lips tightly and did not answer, Folly was beside himself to persuade, “Clara you calm down.”

“How else can I be calm.” I suddenly desperate, no one can understand how tormented I am, I can neither at this time, justified the world’s most vicious words used on Dennis, nor can pretend that nothing has happened only to focus on whether they can find the love of their hearts.

I was afraid that those vicious words would really push Dennis to Benjamin completely, and I was also afraid that I would let Leo down for selfish reasons by making a big deal out of his injury.

Dennis and Folly really didn’t seem to be able to understand my feelings, one looked as normal, the other with pity, making me realize more clearly that they couldn’t empathize with me.

“Forget it.” I deflated and gave in, looking up with red eyes into Dennis’ cold, ice-hardened eyes, “You said Leo was reckless, what about you?”

I pressed closer to Dennis, my face almost against his, “Still like to act alone after all these years, you still think it’s great to do that when it’s the old days, don’t you?!”

The corridor is full of my echoes, but Dennis is motionless, dropping his eyes from goodness, still so lightly, “You’re right, this is not the old days, I have no interest in greatness, sacrifice, such words.”

“I came, and only for the sake of the child, today’s matter you accept or not, Benjamin’s warning has been very clear, tell your family, do not presume to hit the stone with an egg, or even the mother of my child, he will no longer be merciful.”

I can’t find any words to describe Dennis at this moment except strange.

And he dismisses my unwavering trust in him with these cold sentences?

I laughed in exasperation, “So you’re trying to say that Leo didn’t die because of your kindness and that I should be grateful to you and Benjamin for ruining my husband and daughter and finally showing mercy by taking away one of my brother’s arms, is that what you’re saying?”

Dennis doesn’t retort, just says extremely coldly, “You’re not fit to talk right now.”

Then to Folly, she instructed, “Take care of her.”

When he finished, he turned around and walked away without looking back.

The moment the words “aiding and abetting” appeared in my mind, I rushed up to Dennis like crazy to argue, “Stop, say it clearly before you go! Bastard!”

After all, it was Folly who held me back, until Dennis’ cold back disappeared at the elevator, all struggles and complaints were meaningless, and I fell on the bench in the corridor like a deflated balloon, covering my face and whimpering.
