The nurse quietly told the doctor that Arlo Seys was the patient’s husband and requested to enter the operating room to accompany her. No one knew Arlo Seys’s identity, but soone who could invite the director to have four specialists perform surgery on his wife was undoubtedly famous throughout City C. The doctors said nothing about his request to accompany his wife during the surgery and granted it.
Arlo Seys crouched by the bedside, holding Ariel Morris’s hand with one hand and gently stroking her features with the other.
Arlo Seys’s thin lips trembled slightly, and before he could speak, tears gathered in his eyes and began to flow. He pressed his face against Ariel Morris’s cold, pale cheek, hoping to use his warmth to comfort her chill.
One by one, warm tears slid down his cheek, falling onto Ariel Morris’s face, which was pressed against his.
With a hoarse voice, Arlo Seys gently called into Ariel Morris’s ear, "Ariel, promise , don’t let go, stay with to the end."
"Ariel, Heaven is not good. You said I was your favorite, your God Seys. There’s no there, so don’t go. If you go there, you won’t be able to see , right?"
"Ariel, there are still decades ahead in life. How can you leave alone?"
"Ariel, don’t sleep. We still have so many things we haven’t said, so many things we haven’t done, so many landscapes we haven’t seen. Why are you sleeping? Wake up! I will really get angry!"
"Didn’t you want to accompany you to Dublin for Christmas? When you wake up, we’ll go to Dublin this Christmas! We’ll see where you lived for eight years, and then you can tell how much you’ve missed over those eight years."
"Rember? You gave 1001 paper cranes, saying they were very effective for wishes. Do you know what I wished for? ’May this person et another and grow old, hand in hand, forever.’ That person is you, so wake up, fulfill my wish, stay with until we grow old together!"
"Ariel Morris, a person must keep their word. You promised to be Mrs. Seys for a lifeti. Don’t make hate you, okay?"
"Ariel Morris, eight years ago you entered my world without my permission, leaving indelible footprints in my life! And now, you can’t leave without my permission! I won’t allow it!"
"Rember the deal we made between us? You still owe forty thousand dollars, did you forget? I haven’t forgotten! Pay back! Don’t think you can escape the debt just because you’re asleep. I won’t allow it!"
"Ariel Morris, don’t be too cruel. A person can’t be selfish, right? You entangled , and now you want to leave? That’s impossible! Either we die together, or we live together!"
"Ariel, wake up. As long as you wake up, I can lose everything, even the entire world."
"Ariel, stop this nonsense. Wake up, I will give you half of my life. You need to wake up!"
"Ariel-----Ariel-----Ariel-----wake up, pull through, I’m waiting for you-----don’t give up!"
"Mrs. Seys, if you die, we can settle the accounts underground! You owe money, owe everything, and I will chase you until you pay back!"
....
The surgery had been going on for more than an hour, and Arlo Seys kept talking, without pausing once, tightly holding Ariel Morris’s fingers and pressing his face against hers, his eyes deep red.
Suddenly, the heart rate monitor showed Ariel Morris’s heart rate plumting, and the faces of all the doctors and nurses in the operating room turned grim.
"The patient is losing too much blood, imdiately prepare plasma! Hurry!"
"The heart rate is too low, start cardiac resuscitation!"
