Stand Still, Don’t Run Away, My Little Wife

“Dane, do you hear me? I don’t care… I just want you!”

“I won’t let you do that.”

Charlie should be really angry this time. If Danae was healthy, then everything was easy to say.

But how can his grandson marry a mentally ill person?Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Grandpa, you are not the kind of stuffy person…”

“This has nothing to do with stuffy! Her illness cannot be cured. She can commit suicide. What else is she afraid to do? I can’t let you be with her!”

“I also said that I would never give up on her!”

This stalemate seemed to have no end.

Danae suddenly smiled.

Instead of being so deadlocked, let her, a “mentally ill person”, ended it.

Was this kind of smile too heartless?

“Cyril.”

She called his name without a trace of temperature, as if, the name was just a stranger.

“You said you only wanted me, but I… didn’t want you.”

There were a lot of things, a lot of people in this world. You couldn’t have them all just because you wanted them.

At the very least, she did not belong to him, which she knew better than anyone else.

“Danae…”

Cyril looked shocked and did not believe that this would be what she said.

“I am indeed… sick.”

In the last two words, she looked out of the corner of her eye at the man who was enjoying the play in his spare time. Her eyes were so obvious with hatred.

“Your grandpa is right. It cannot be cured.”

It couldn’t be cured. She was beyond cure. There was no medicine to save her.

“What does it matter if you don’t cure it well? Danae, I will always be good to you. No matter what you become, I will…”

“Don’t you think it has always been your wishful thinking?”

She interrupted his touching confession aloud, which was really exciting. If she wasn’t Danae, she would have fallen in love with this teenager long ago.

“Cyril, I never liked you, so… I didn’t want to get engaged to you, so I chose to commit suicide.”

－Cyril, I never liked you.

－Therefore, I didn’t want to be engaged to you, so I chose to commit suicide.

Because she didn’t want to be engaged to him, she didn’t want to be with him, so… she wanted to end her life?!

Cyril’s pupil eye－popping, how was this possible!

Clearly, last night, she also had hoped for the engagement banquet. Even if she didn’t say it clearly, he did recognize it.

“No! Danae, this was not this truth.”

“Cyril! Did you still have some backbone?” Charlie was completely angry, and he wanted to swing the crutch in his hand at his useless grandson. He was trying to control the anger.

The girl had already said that she didn’t like him. But his grandson seemed to be crazy. Seem possessed!

“If I couldn’t even keep my beloved girl, There’s no need of backbone?”

“How could you say that!”

Cyril’s mother had just finished the chores at the meeting and heard these outside the door when she arrived at the hospital.

“Cyril, do you know what you are saying?!”

She came forward to support Charlie, for fear that he would hurt himself with anger. She pointed to Danae and said －

“Is it because of her that you can even contradict your grandfather, and you even ignore the fame of the family?!”

For the fame of their family.

Danae mocked herself and hooked her lips. Ah… When did she have anything to do with that?

It turned out that this was the case.

She really realized.

Those who could be kind to her could regard her as a family member and thought they can get along well with them.

However, it was only a superficial gesture. After knowing of her “illness”, they would naturally abandon you and save their face if they were not related to you.

And who was she? The future grandson’s daughter－in－law? How ridiculous!

Perhaps this was what Raymond wanted her to see clearly.

Raymond, you wanted me to know that anyone in this world would abandon me for different reasons.

－Except you, was that right?

But why, when I thought that you were the only one in the world who would not give up on me, I felt so sad?

“Uncle Macaulay, don’t you want to say anything?”

At last, she made a faint noise, breaking the dispute between the family and looking at Raymond with mockery in her eyes.

The man who turned her into such a person. Aren’t him going to say something?

It seemed that he was her guardian, she became like this, he was indifferent, would it be some… irrational?

“Mr. Macaulay, please believe me. I will definitely be engaged to Danae!”

Cyril was not a perfidious person. Unfortunately, he did not know that he was never the wrong person.

“But she is not willing to.”

Raymond walked to the edge of her hospital bed and sat down with a light smile. He stretched out his hand to touch the still gaunt face of the person.

Danae avoided her head. She… didn’t want him to touch her now.

Especially, in front of others, it was disgusting.

“This marriage should be annulled.”

“Mr. Macaulay.”

“Fine!”

Before Cyril wanted to say something, Charlie blocked all his responses with a word.

Since Raymond also said that the marriage was annulled, it was not the intention of one family unilaterally.

“I don’t agree with you!”

Cyril yelled. This was his marriage with Danae. Why was it so controlled by others?

“… I agree.”

Danae hanging her eyes no longer look at him, although the voice was low, but so firm.

“Danae…”

Cyril only felt that his heart, was being scratched by a sharp sword.

Why did she become like this?

What exactly happened, one night, she changed everything!

“She needs a rest.”

Raymond thought, the ward needed to be quiet. such noise, was really－

Not so good.

Cyril looked at the girl who was already very tired. His heart was both painful and pitiful.

“I will not give up on you!”

He would never give up, the one he loved.

Danae leaned slightly, did not look at him and closed her eyes, as if she could not hear anything.

But her heart was sour and bitter.

In the end, the whole family left.

It’s like a farce, so absurd, but it’s over.

“I didn’t like talking to people with their eyes closed.”

After a moment’s silence in the ward, there was a man’s cold voice.

Danae moved her eyelashes and was unmoved.

Now she just wanted to sleep quietly by herself.

However, he just refused to let her get what she wanted.

The strength of the body abruptly pulled up made her cry in pain and her hands trembled all the time－

“…”

It really hurt. Blood oozed from the wound. She opened her mouth and could not say a word. Her eyes were tight and her face was painful.

However, the next moment he buckled his lower jaw with one hand, forcing her to look up at him.

“Does this hurt?”

If she couldn’t bear this pain. How could she kill herself?

Her eyes turned red and she was opposite his eye. The darkness of Raymond and the hatred in her eyes, thus deadlocked with each other.

Time went by, and the three words were almost uttered with all her strength－

“I hate you…”
