Chapter 384

Jace suddenly remembered what happened three years ago. He was on the highway when he heard
about the Zelda family’s bad news. Then, he hurried from his branch office to Nadeem City.

However, halfway through his journey, he received a breakup call from Sienna.

She was crying. “Jace, I’m sorry. I love you, but I can’t be with you anymore because of the Zelda
family. Please, tell Aunt Freya to let us go. Let’s break up.”

Sienna hung up the phone before he could speak. He tried to call her again, but she turned off her
phone.

He wanted to tell her that even if she wanted to break up, they should speak in person to respect each
other.

At that moment, his mother’s aggression and the breakup ruined his mood. He did not slow down when
he reached the fork in the road. A truck suddenly appeared without slowing down and hit him directly.

Bang!

He was in a daze as his chaotic memories hit him. He saw his memories as a child. He saw his
parents’ endless arguments, where his father slammed the door, leaving his mother behind.

His mother trembled in anger and smashed everything in the house. There was a loud crackling noise
from all the destruction. It reminded him of the firecrackers during the New Year. If the noise was like
New Year, it was as if their family was celebrating the New Year every day.

His father had no right to educate him. Meanwhile, his mother disciplined him very strictly. He did not
know if she was just venting her anger on him. Every time after quarreling with his father, his mother



would come to check his homework.

He would be severely punished for missing a word or a question. After the punishment, his mother
would put the cane aside, She held his shoulders and ordered him to grow into a successful man with a
grave tone.



“Be sure to become the best in the Yuriel family with all you have. You have to earn back the dignity I
lost with your dad! Did you hear me? My son must become the most successful man!” As a child, Jace
longed for his father’s love, but he feared his mother. When Jace grew up, he no longer knew what love
was. No one loved him, and he would not love anyone.

The only woman who loved him had abandoned him for her family’s interest. In the end, he was still
someone who could be discarded at will. Death seemed like the easy way out for him.

He was seriously injured and was rescued thrice in a critical stage. More than ten notices of critical
illness were issued. His condition was hopeless until Dr. S’s arrival, which turned everything around.

His body was alive, but his heart had died. He lay on the bed, paralyzed and unable to take care of
himself.

He would rather die and end the torture fast. Why live with such a broken body?

Even so, his family refused to let him die, and neither did his nurse. He suffered from urinary
incontinence continuously. It happened frequently and was often an embarrassing problem. He was
ashamed and begged the nurse, “Please euthanize me and put me out of my misery. You can be free
too.”



The nurse named Sage answered him as such, “Do you think death is a relief? No. Death is just an
escape because everyone knows that it’s harder to live.”

Not only did she reason with him, but she also started reading books for him, such as Tagore’s Stray
Birds and other motivational books. She randomly chose the book to read daily by mood. Her voice
was clear and melodious. It was not the best reading voice, but it was full of emotions. She read the
novels out loud and expressed her emotions when she read poetry collections. However, whenever she
hummed occasionally… It was squeaky and terrible. Perhaps, the stories had given him some courage
and strength, allowing him to see a ray of light in the dark days. Without knowing it, the toughest days
passed quickly.
