Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 896

Chapter 896 Only Memories Left

That night, Jimmy was forcibly sent home by Bryce. To kept him from losing control due to missing Anna too much, Bryce stayed with him for a night.

The next morning, Jimmy, who had not slept all night, left the room.

Bryce was brewing coffee when he heard a commotion and immediately walked out of the restaurant. When he saw Jimmy about to leave, he quickly stood in front of him to block his way.

"Jimmy, snap out of it! She's gone, and the fact can't be changed no matter how you searched." Bryce earnestly persuaded him with a heavy heart.

Jimmy lifted his head, and in his bloodshot eyes were full of sadness and pain that he couldn't hide.

"I need to numb myself with work now. Maybe... it can help me temporarily forget reality."

His hoarse voice highlighted his pain at the moment.

Bryce sighed, he understood Jimmy's longing for Anna, but...

"Are you sure your body can handle the heavy workload? I don't want you to collapse," Bryce asked with a serious tone, his eyes showing concern for Jimmy.

"I'm fine."

Knowing that Jimmy had made up his mind, Bryce had no choice but to take him to the Harrison Group.

When Jimmy returned to the office, his face was haggard as if he could collapse at any moment. This startled Randall, who stayed by his side, afraid that he would faint due to weakness in the next moment.

"Please arrange more work for me and fill up all my time. I don't want any free time."

Jimmy, who was buried in the documents, ordered with an expressionless face.

"But... are you sure?"

Jimmy frowned slightly. "Make arrangements."

Randall had no choice but to start organizing the new schedule.

For the next day, Jimmy didn't eat anything except for drinking coffee to keep himself alert.

Watching his CEO constantly using work to numb himself and temporarily forget all the pain, Randall was worried.

"You go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

After reading the last document, Jimmy spoke in a hoarse voice, slowly.

Randall nodded and, although worried, still left the office and considerately closed the door.

Jimmy dragged his exhausted body, as if he could collapse at any moment, to the window and looked out into the distance.

Anna, how are you doing over there?

You even... never appeared in my dreams.

Jimmy felt a sharp pain in his heart, and mist appeared in his eyes.

Bryce sighed and placed the results of his physical examination report in front of him.

"Severe gastric bleeding. The doctor instructed that you must take good care of your body and not overwork yourself, otherwise you won't be able to handle it. I believe Anna wouldn't want to see you in a state of despair now that she's in heaven."

"Gastric bleeding?" Jimmy looked at the handwriting on the test report and a hint of self-mockery curved his lips.

"Do I need to tell your parents not to come back home for now?" Bryce asked softly.

Jimmy had a pained expression on his face. He remembered telling his parents who were abroad half a month ago that he had found Anna, and that he had decided to make her his wife.

His parents liked Anna, so when they heard about finding her, his mother wanted to come over immediately to see their future daughter-in-law, but now...

"I'll personally talk to them,"

Bryce nodded in agreement. To prevent Jimmy from sneaking back to work after he left, Bryce stayed at the hospital until one week later when the doctor announced that Jimmy could be discharged from the hospital.

Bryce helped him with all necessary procedures. After helping Jimmy into his car, Bryce asked, "How about you stay at my place for now?"

Jimmy shook his head; although he had undergone treatment and rest for a week, but... his face was still as pale as paper."There are many memories of me and her in our house; these memories are all I have left." Jimmy said lightly with an unmistakable depression in his eyes.

Under Jimmy's insistence, Bryce drove him back home where Anna's faint fragrance lingered in the air around them. Jimmy greedily took several breaths of it. His gaze fell on a photo frame placed on top of their bedside table where they were intimately leaning against each other with sweet yet happy smiles plastered across their faces.

He picked up the frame and planted a deep kiss onto Anna's face captured within...
