Book:Echoed Love in Hell Published:2024-6-2

She lowered her head pretentiously like she was about to leave, but when she was passing by Jimmy, she got at the fastest speed the gun hidden at his back.
She held he gun and screamed to them, ‘Don’t move!”
Clinton looked at the weapon in her hand, totally shocked, but Jimmy cursed and said in black face, ‘The gun was just a toy with fake bullets. You thought you could threaten us?”
Jessig sneered, ‘Okay, let’s see if it is real or fake.”
Jimmy was astonished that she was totally insane and thought to himself that he must get the gun back. But the huge sound arrived suddenly, as if the surrounding was quiet, air was frozen and the time stopped.
The one, which Jimmy had been protecting, was not in bed, because she was now falling in the arms of Clinton.
Just now in the mid of all the gun fight and bullet flying, Sandra rushed to the front of Clinton to shield the bullet for him. It seemed that all the memories came back to her at that moment. What she knew was she couldn’t let that man die. Her body reflex took action fast than her brain.
When the gun shot, numerous policemen came in to take Jessi out.
Clinton gazed at Sandra, and didn’t know how to react at that moment.
It must be a dream, it must be…
Sandra touched Clinton’s face with her trembling hand, and stretched a smile in difficult. Blood dropped again from her mouth, ‘Are you Mr. Fu?”
Clinton took her hand immediately and he was panic with nervous look in his eyes, ‘Don’t talk. We are in the hospital, you won’t die…”
He carried her up after his words, but she opened her mouth, ‘No, not necessary. I want to have a word with you.”
Clinton couldn’t help his tearing from running and her heart was like emptied. He was sobbing, ‘Okay.”
‘I got some disease, so that I couldn’t remember a lot of things, but I remember you. I must love you a lot. Do you love me?” Sandra tried all her effort to have her eyes open, but the warmth in her body was fading gradually.
Clinton nodded immediately, ‘Yes, I love you, very, very much. If you don’t die, don’t leave me alone, we can do a lot of things together. You shouldn’t…”
Her hands fell down before he finished his sentence. Her breath stopped too.
Clinton paused for a second and then buried his head in her neck, sobbing till he burst into tears. ‘Sandra, are you taking revenge? When I finally realized I was in love with you, you left me like this forever. Good for you! Good for you!”
The past lingered around his head like the movie. Her smile, her frown, the laundry and meals she did for him, the stupid things she made to please him. Her carefulness in order to stay around, so many things were like happening just yesterday, and so vivid in front of his eyes. But why didn’t he see them before. why was he such an asshole before?
He took her hand and slapped it on his own face, while his voice was trembling with tearful eyes, ‘Beat me, scold me. Do whatever you like. Don’t leave me alone, please…”
The former proud man behaved like a helpless child. His world went blank at that moment. Before when she was around, he didn’t care, but now she was dead, there was nothing meaningful any more.
Why didn’t he listen to his heart? Why didn’t he believe her? So this was the karma he deserved.
Suddenly he put on a smile, ‘You don’t wake up because you want me to go with you?”
He took up the gun on the ground, looking ahead with blank eyes, ‘Sandra, I am sorry.”
‘I come to accompany you so that you won’t be lonely.” The gun fired with a loud noise immediately after his words. With a smile on his face, he was lying on her body.
He felt the pain in his body and sensed clearly the life was fading away from his body.
He held her hand closely and waited for the time to meet her again.
If it could start again, he would hold her tight and would never let her go next time when he saw her at first sight.
If everything could be renewed, he could love her devotedly…
However, there was no restart, so that he could only expect next life. In next life, he would rather suffer all in order to make sure she could be happy. She had suffered too much pain and injustice this life.
Clinton closed his eyes slowly, and his breath stopped immediately too.
The ground was covered with blood in the shape of equinox flowers. It seems they were sleep under the eternity flowers
After so many years, they were finally together at this moment.
No quarrel, no hurting each other, no other people, and also no words needed…
Maybe this was what Sandra wanted. In the end she possessed his love, but it only came too late.
