Mr. Marsh’s Twins

She seemed to recall something, yet everything was hazy, with faint flashes swirling in her mind. It felt distant, ethereal, and almost surreal.

The contradictions of these feelings troubled her deeply.

Suddenly, she did not feel like getting married anymore. She didn’t know why.

That night, Summer couldn’t sleep.

And the heavy rain poured all night long.

After a medical examination, it was confirmed that Angel had multiple fractures. However, given her current condition, these were considered minor injuries. The real concern was her abdomen; her uterus was at risk of needing to be removed. The doctors quickly developed a plan and contacted her family. The situation was dire. If the uterus wasn’t removed, and surgery was delayed further, she was at risk of losing her life. Her injuries were severe.

After a difficult decision, her family reluctantly signed the consent form for the surgery. They couldn’t bear to watch her die.

At night, Spencer stood on the balcony with a glass of wine, looking at the dark room next door. He worried about Summer and missed her. Is his sister also at the hospital with her tonight?

A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes. Despite reprimanding Angel, he still blamed himself for not protecting her.

He waited for the daybreak to find a good reason to visit her.

He missed her… a lot.

The next morning, the rain stopped.

Spencer, who had waited all night, quickly tidied himself and left the house.

Passing by a flower shop, he parked his car and hesitated for a moment before walking in, “Hello, I’d like to buy a bouquet of flowers to visit a friend in the hospital.”

“Is it for an elder or a classmate? Is it for a boy or a girl?” the young shopkeeper asked attentively.

Spencer thought for a moment and answered carefully, “A friend, a girl.”

“Is she your girlfriend?” The shopkeeper’s smiling eyes fell on his face, observing his expression, and made an educated guess.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He didn’t answer, but the subtle change in his expression said it all.

So, the shopkeeper smiled and said, “Then, orchids it is. Orchids signify elegance, purity, beauty, and detachment. They also symbolize love, care, resilience, and longevity, with an additional meaning – happiness is on the way!”

“Then I’ll take a bouquet of orchids,” Spencer didn’t hesitate any longer as he was pressed for time and said to the shopkeeper.

“Alright, I’ll pick the freshest ones for you,” the shopkeeper turned to pick the flowers, “There was a man around your age who came to the hospital to see his girlfriend yesterday, also got orchids. He really liked them.”

Spencer didn’t pay much attention to the shopkeeper’s words.

Soon, the shopkeeper wrapped a particularly beautiful bouquet of orchids for him, and after paying, he took it with him.

He also bought breakfast for her on the way to the hospital.

Having called Dr. Watson, he brought light and easily digestible food.

This was the spontaneous Spencer’s first time being so meticulous, moving toward an image of a caring man.

Arriving at the door of the ward, he saw Summer lying alone in bed, and once again, his heart ached.

Without knocking, Spencer gently pushed the door open, not wanting to disturb her rest.

Summer opened her eyes, surprised to see him.

“Where’s Elisa?” Spencer asked softly, “Aren’t she here to accompany you?”

Summer struggled to sit up, and he quickly placed the breakfast and orchids on the bedside table, only to find an identical bouquet of orchids already sitting there, which surprised him.

But he didn’t dwell on it and quickly turned to help her, “Be careful.”

“I let her leave early, but she still stayed with me last night,” Summer told him, “Elisa just left, my sister had a friend’s birthday party last night and stayed over at her friend’s house, she will be coming to the hospital later, she only found out about my situation.”
