You Are My Mr Right

Luna’s gaze flickered, and in an instant, it returned to calm.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“Even though I told them not to contact you… they still did.” Luna’s voice was weak.

Freya, too, remained calm, not daring to show any hint of sadness.

With Luna in such a state.

If she were to show her own distress, Luna would likely never find peace.

She sat by the bedside, holding Luna’s hand.

There were many needle marks on the back of her hand, remnants of injections, green and purple, clustered together.

She dared not apply any pressure, afraid of causing her pain.

She lowered her eyes, not wanting Luna to see the pain in them, “You don’t contact me, are you enduring this alone?”

Luna pursed her lips, “I just don’t want you to be sad!”

Unable to contain herself, Freya said, “Even in this state, you’re worried about me?”

Without waiting for Luna to speak, she continued, “I’ve told them that I’ll take you away, find a doctor to treat you. I know many doctors, they will surely cure you…”

“It’s okay.” Luna said calmly, “I know my own situation. Besides, even if the body can be healed, what about the heart? If the heart is gone, what use is the body?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.” Freya whispered, “You can’t give up on yourself. You still have a child!”

“A child.”

A flash of light passed through Luna’s eyes.

Then dimmed.

In this state, she might scare her own child.

How could she be a good mother?

“Don’t worry about me.” Luna said firmly, “I won’t go with you.”

Unable to hold back, Freya asked, “Do you really want to die?”

Luna replied, “Yes.”

Ignoring her feelings, Freya said, “No matter how you look, you’re still the mother of a child. Without you, she’ll be motherless, fatherless. Even if she has a father, not having a mother is a lifelong regret. I promise you, I can cure you, even if your appearance changes, you’ll still be beautiful.”

“Freya, you can fix my face, but can you fix my body?” Luna’s eyes darkened, “With this body of mine, I disgust even myself, I can’t go on. I really don’t want to live anymore. I–I’m sorry to those who have been kind to me, you know? If I hadn’t been with Tyler, maybe, Tyler wouldn’t have died. I’m probably a jinx…”

“How can you say that about yourself? Even if something happened, it wasn’t your choice. How can you say it’s your fault?” Freya said, pained, “No one will care, no one will know. Come live with me in France, away from everything here, start fresh. You’re still young, you have a long life ahead of you, you can start over. Don’t give up on yourself, trust me, things will get better.”

“Even in this state, how can things get better?” Luna said, “Leave, don’t tell anyone about me, let me wither away here.”

Freya couldn’t leave, listening to Luna’s desperate, hopeless words.

Her heart ached terribly.

“I will always be by your side.”

“Why bother with me?” Luna said, “You can’t save me, no one can save me. This is my fate, I accept it.”

“Nonsense, things will get better, just listen to me!”
