The Unfinished Vow

Summary

I went to the hospital to pick up my boyfriend from work, but in a ward, I saw my fiancé who had been declared dead five years ago.

His hands and feet were tied to the hospital bed, his body covered in self-inflicted wounds. When he saw me, he immediately turned his face away, buried his head in the pillow, and cried for me to leave.

He said, "Lily, I beg you, let me go."

I vaguely heard doctors and nurses whispering about him.

Saying his legs were crippled, his temper violent and gloomy, a freak.

My heart ached dully.
