My Sweetheart

Only by praying in front of the Buddha for the child who died, can Kathy get a moment of peace.
After praying, she found a familiar Buddhist monk in the temple, donated a sum of money prepared in advance, and then
proposed that she wanted to enshrine an ever-bright lantern.
Since the ever-bright lanterns required people who specialized in Buddha dharma to sing the prayers, a Buddhist monk asked
her to take a rest in front of the hall, and he went in to invite the master abbot.
After a while, The Buddhist monk turned back and said apologetically, "A guest told master abbot that he also wanted to enshrine
an ever-bright lantern, and I just went in to help him deal with the matter, so I wasted some time."
Then he asked, "Miss, who do you want to enshrine the ever-bright lantern for?"
With that, The Buddhist monk took out a pen and paper and asked Kathy to write down the name.
She was slightly stunned. Looking at the blank paper in her hand, she felt the grief spreading.
Yeah, she didn't even think about the child's name and it left her.
The breeze passed through the hall, making the white paper in Kathy's hand rustle.
Seeing her in a daze, The Buddhist monk called her tentatively, "Miss?"
Kathy came to her senses, and then said, "I'm sorry, I haven't thought about it yet, can I come to you again later?"
"Okay, but I'm going to do other things in the hall later, you can go there to find me if you have any needs."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The Buddhist monk gave a salute and left. In fact, he was holding another piece of paper with words written on it. Kathy
accidentally saw the name on it when he turned around, and suddenly froze. She could only saw the word “Jos”.
After The Buddhist monk left, Kathy stood there and didn't move. After a long time, she crumpled the white paper into a ball and
threw it into the trash can.
As the sun went down, the leaves fell on the ground in the yard, and the yard was dappled with sunlight.

Kathy didn't know how long she had been waiting, her body was exhausted, and her thoughts drifted further and further with the
solemn Buddhist song.
It wasn't until her legs became numb that she finally saw someone coming out of the meditation room at the end of the corridor.
The wrinkled but vigorous abbot walked here with a handsome man across the threshold.
The long corridor of the meditation room has a large pillar every few meters, and the red paint on them had flaked. It had been
not as brand new and bright as it was when it was just renovated.
Kathy leaned on the side of the pillar, so the abbot did not see her.
She watched them speak a few more words at the door before the abbot returned to the meditation room.
She didn't deliberately avoid them. She frowned, it was really him.
Thinking of the name written on the piece of paper in the Buddhist monk's hand again, her heart ached.
She watched from a distance at that handsome profile. The sun cast an orange glow over him. His expression was always
indifferent. Even if he laughed at this moment, it didn't make people feel warm at all.
If a child is born, will he be like him?
Her chest seemed to be pressed against a boulder, and her breathing gradually became quick and uneven, so Kathy just leaned
on the pillar without any movement for a long time.
After saying goodbye to the abbot, Joseph turned and walked down the stairs, but he quickly changed direction, and suddenly
walked in Kathy's direction.
She didn't even know how he found her.
Obviously he didn't look at her from beginning to end.
When he was getting closer, she hid all her emotions and said coldly, "I'm going down the mountain."
"Go together." He looked at her.
She didn't mention the ever-bright lantern, nor did he say it.

She didn't even know what name he named the child.
When going down the mountain, they did not take the cable car again. The stone steps were very winding, with lush trees on
both sides.
People would feel cold in the mountain. The afterglow of the setting sun was about to dissipate, leaving only a small orange halo.
Stepping on the solid and cold stone steps, Kathy stopped suddenly.
She looked at the sky in the distance, and the setting sun finally disappeared between the valleys completely in her sight.
The last trace of heat in the air also dissipated, and the wind blew coldly on her arms, but Kathy didn't seem to realize it and just
stared at the sky in a daze.
She was dressed very thinly. Her skirts on her limbs were blown to stick to her legs, and her long and supple hair fluttered gently
on her back.
It seemed that after a long while, she heard the man next to her ask her, "What wish did you just make?"
The voice was familiar to her. It was a little deep, but it was as clear as ice water, so she couldn't tell whether it was true or false
and whether what he said was all pretence.
She did not answer, but frowned slightly.
The cries of various insects came from the forest, one after another, which sounded very cheerful.
It seemed that because of this, Kathy was slightly in good spirit.
She spoke slowly, "Do you really want to know what I wished for?"
When she was speaking, her gaze was still looking into the distance, but she knew that he was standing behind her, never
moving.
His breath had always been so strong, she can feel it even at a distance.
She once thought that meeting him was the greatest luck in her life.

But she didn’t expect that after all, it was just a dream. She was helpless when she was taken away from City N three years ago.
But he finally gave her a blow. She won't give up being with him until the last moment.
But he married someone else first.
Since then, no matter how beautiful or pleasing things were, she can no longer feel them.
She felt like she was like a dead-alive person, but she also pretended to be very strong and worked hard to live as if nothing had
happened.
She hid all the fragility and erected a strong shell, but the moment she met Joseph again, she suddenly collapsed.
But now, can everything really come to an end?
"Do you want to know what I wished for?" She withdrew her dazed gaze, and finally turned slowly to look at the man behind her,
but she said word by word, "Then tell me first, why did Veronica die for me?"
Hearing that, Joseph finally had some emotions on his dull face. Kathy could tell he was in pain.
He pursed his thin lips and his voice was low and depressed, "The night when Veronica had an accident was the night you
disappeared. At that time, you left with Reece. Veronica was waiting for Reece to see you get on the car and even behave
intimately. She ran a red light in a fit of temper and led to tragedy."
After Joseph finished speaking, he became sad, and even his eyes were red.
Kathy had been stunned for a long time, she was in a coma that night, and she didn't know what Reece had done to her that
could stimulate Veronica.
However, she was also passive and she was even the victim.
"Do you think I will have something with Reece?" Kathy asked expressionless. She was shaking all over, revealing her anxiety
and panic.
