Johnny POV

While waiting, I was reminded of Lydia’s parents and I immediately rushed to the front desk, wondering if they knew of her predicament.

“I’m sorry, but have you informed her parents yet?”

The staff behind the desk looked at me with a baffled expression, his eyes darting left and right. He seemed to be having a debate with himself but finally, he turned to face me and his words caused my heart to stop beating.

“I’m sorry sir, but her parents died in the car crash, pronounced dead on the spot.”

I turned away silently, letting my hands slide from the counter. I shuffled my feet along the clean floor as I dragged my body across the hallway.

How do I tell her…? Will she even survive?

The red “OPERATION” light was still on even after 10 hours, a stark reminder that the fight for her life wasn’t over. I couldn’t get her bloodied face out of my mind, and I wonder if that’s the last view of her I will ever see.

Please, please let her survive…

As if the heavens have heard my prayer, the red light dimmed into nothing and the doctor walked out. I raced towards him, frantically asking if she was alright.

“We’ve managed to save her life, but she’s not out of danger yet. She suffered heavy blows to her head and she’s in a coma now. It might take her days to wake up, or perhaps week. We don’t know for sure, and now we can only wait and see. My deepest apologies, but we did our best for her.”

“Thank you. May I go and see her?”

“Unfortunately, no. She’s too weak to receive patients now and she will be in the ICU, unit 103. For now, you can view her through the glass.”

“Thank you, you’ve worked hard.”

I bowed to the doctor and his team trailed after him, their backs hunched. They must be tired, having worked through the night.

Racing up to the ICU units, I quickly located her room and the sight of her pained me. Gone was the feisty girl who would not hesitate to put me back in my place, and in her place lay a damaged, broken girl. Multiple tubes and needles were attached to her and her head was wrapped in bandages. If not for the shallow rise and fall of her chest or the lines of the monitor next to her moving up and

Chapter 31: I BINGED. Oh damn wow. This was really good, I can see why you're proud of it. You know how much I love slice of life and the message you're putting across in this could not be more true - our past wounds may heal over time but the scars never fade away. And sometimes we have to come to terms with that, even if it's a painful reality to accept. Really enjoyed this one, Del! Hit me in the feelz

Chapter 31: I absolutely love this story and this is definitely one of the most well written fanfic i have ever read. I do really like the plot twist and the ending. At first i do hope that they would end up together but i guess it just isnt right for lydia to live on with the fear and the doubt she felt. This fanfic really get me thinking about life and i hope you will continue writing such beautiful fanfics.

*ill continue here :))
At first, I didn't like the fact that she decided to leave him after the precious time they had in HK. But slowly a thought came to my mind saying it's not right as well for her to be in a relationship where she doesn't feel right. And partially, it's really not fair for him as well to be in a relationship where his love is doubted, when he's obviously giving his all to her. Its funny how my thoughts immediately went to reality, wondering if someone, somewhere out there living a life exactly like this, did they choose to leave like she did? Or stay and break herself more and his heart along the away? I'll never know. But if I was to be her, I'd do the exact same. Because if two souls are meant to be together, they will always find their way back to each other no matter what. If not, you just have to learn to let go. No matter how hard it gets. If not for the other person, do it for yourself. The void in your soul doesn't always has to be filled with someone else's presence. Sometimes the void can only be filled with your own self. Someone wise once said, you can only love someone else fully, if you learn to love yourself first. Thank you for sticking to your original storyline. If it wasn't for the fact that you went along with this ending, I would've sworn, I'd forget that our feelings- what feels right to the heart and soul- matters the most if happiness is what you seek for in this often mistaken world.

Hai author-nim.
First of all I want to applaud your awesome writing. The way you write your story was really different from the fanfics that are available these days. It almost felt like I was back in my teenage days where I was awake in the middle of the night in my bedroom reading fics that would make me feel like someone was gripping my heart so tight, almost breaking it to pieces. And i didn't mind it at all. These type of fics were always my fav. It's was really an eyeopener and to be honest, just what this tired soul of mine longs for. I'm really glad I found Smudge. I haven't read something that made me look back in life for quite awhile now. Your story made me think alot.
