I will still make the same decision

Three years ago...

A few people were panicking in front of the operation room. Though they are already on the verge of broking down, The more time it takes to make them more and more anxious.

Among them was a teen who was more anxious than anyone. He was still holding onto his last bit of hope. Though he looks all calm and composed, His soul leaves and comes back every other minute.

He knows it was his carelessness that lead to this. They have been through a lot in the past 35 weeks. It's like the entire world is turning dark to him. It was his whole world that is struggling for her life there. All he wants right now is the news that nothing happened to her.

A middle-aged man and a woman walked into the waiting area. The pair man greeted the old man who was seated before tracing their eyes over the people present there. And at last, it stopped on the teen.

They couldn't help but heave a sigh as they can't blame anyone for what had happened. The man sat beside the old man, while the lady walked to the door of the operation theatre. She stood there for a moment and looked helpless. It hurts her heart when she stands outside while her precious daughter struggles for her life inside.

She turned around and walk towards the boy sitting there. She sat beside him and placed her hands over his shoulder. Only then did he break out of his thought and lifted his head to look at her. upon seeing her clear, Caring, kind eyes which are filled with motherly love, He broke out completely. The last bit of stronghold on his emotion broke.

"Mother... No, Aunty Chen. I... Failed you. I failed to take care of her and protect her. I didn't keep my promise. You can punish me as you want. I won't step back from my responsibility."

Mother Chen can sense the remorsefulness in his voice. She didn't say anything. And she knows very well that saying something will make this young man more remorseful. She just sat there and patted his back trying to console him. She didn't know that her silence made the young man think that she is reprimanding him for what happened.

Not only Mother Chen even the people who were there couldn't help but feel sad for him. Among all of them, he was the one who was so eager to welcome the new life and he is the one who will be reluctant to see her in any danger. And now that she is fighting for both the life inside there, he must be feeling guilty for what happened in front of his eyes.

"Ah Yuan, It's not...", when Father Chen began to talk, The doors of the operation theatre opened and a nurse walked out of it carrying a few papers,

"May I know who the father is?", As she spoke she swept her glance over the men there. She had seen many old people marrying a young women. So her eyes naturally traced between the older men.

Upon hearing it, Yang yuan stood abruptly, "That's me. What happened? Is it serious? Will she be okay?", His last bit of rationality is falling into an abyss along with the hope.

"You are the father? I mean you are the husband of the patient named Chen Jie Xuan?", The nurse recovered quickly from her shock as she doesn't have time to be shocked with two lives at stake. But she needs to be sure she didn't hear it wrong.

"Yeah, That's me. Chen Jie Xuan is my wife. I even signed in the admission procedure. you can check.", Yang Yuan answered with a trembling voice. It was as if the answer was an automatic response when his brain is still hanging up.

"Okay, Can I have a word with you? Here is the thing. She is suffering from a Placenta abruption after the fall. A C-Section is necessary right now. Can I have your consent?", The nurse finished in one go while handing the papers to Yang Yuan.

He reached his hand to take the papers While asking, "It won't cause any complication to her right?"

"No, it won't. The baby will be kept in the incubator for some time as it was born prematurely. And you need to take good care of the baby. Except for that, It won't cause much of a complication for the mother. Dr. Han is the best obstetrician in our city. You can rest assured.

With the assurance of the nurse and the consent of Mr & Mrs. Chen, Yang yuan signed the papers.

He didn't even know how long he had waited in front of the operation theatre. The only thing he remembers after that was hearing the loud cry of a baby coming from the operation theatre and seeing a baby being carried away by the nurse. He just took a glimpse of the baby who was so tiny like a doll while hearing the nurse say that it was a baby girl. That's it, He felt that the world was dark and his body fell to the ground.

Now...

When the car stopped in front of Rosemary Avenue. Unlike the star garden, Everything about the Blossom Boulevard and the Rosemary Avenue is so simple that all walks of people can afford it. The houses were not isolated and in solitude. People were too familiar with each other.

Yang Yuan and Chen Jie Xuan snapped out of their thoughts. Right away, Chen Jie Xuan alighted the car and began to walk toward the building. Yang yuan followed her silently while dragging the luggage.

It was only when they were about to enter an individual house at a corner of Blossom Boulevard community, A simple community with a few individual houses and a few apartments, did Yang Yuan voiced out what was in his mind.

"Jie Xuan, Do you regret any of the decisions you took that year? Because no matter how I think...."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Jie Xuan answered before entering the house. "Yang Yuan, I never regretted my decisions. Though I can't change the past, No matter how many times I have to decide at that very moment, I will still make the same decision. There is nothing more important in my life than you nor will be there in the future. You should not think too much."
