Beloved Old Lover

“What’s up?” Kevin raised his head and asked when he realized the car carrying him suddenly slowed down.

“There was an accident, boss.”

Venn replied and then gradually drove the car forward, intending to turn into a nearby alley to take another route to the restaurant. Kevin continued to look down at the phone screen.

Today, after he finished the meeting, it was time for lunch, so his business partner invited him to the restaurant to have lunch with them. The location they chose was quite far from the Unicons group.

The moment the familiar license plate caught Venn’s eye, he didn’t seem to believe his eyesight.

As far as Venn knows, Daniel is very careful when participating in traffic and he has never driven over the speed limit.

“Boss, that’s Daniel’s car…” Venn’s voice became trembling.

Kevin immediately raised his head and looked out the car window. The phone in his hand fell and his eyes became wild when he realized that the car that crashed belonged to his only younger brother. Vehicle model, license plate, and paint color, there’s no way to go wrong.

The car door was quickly opened and everyone saw a man frantically rushing to the scene of the accident, directly pulling curious people aside to approach the dented car.

“Daniel… Daniel…”

He used his hands which no longer had callouses to break the car door. Daniel’s bloody face and closed eyes made him go crazy, hating himself for not having the strength to separate the car and free his brother.

At this time, Venn also abandoned the car and ran to help his boss break down the car door, but they couldn’t get Daniel out because his leg was stuck inside and neither of them had the experience to handle this.

“Quickly call the rescue team, call the police, the hospital…” Kevin shouted.

“Yes, boss.”

While Venn was frantically looking for the phone number, the sirens of the ambulance and the police took turns blaring because someone had previously contacted them.

The police force quickly got out of their cars and dispersed the crowd so that medical staff could reach the scene.

Kevin’s tears fell, mixing with the blood on Daniel’s face. His mouth kept calling his brother’s name.

His pitiful cry brought back Daniel’s soul that was gradually leaving his body. The man’s closed eyes gradually opened and his lips were able to move.

“Brother…”

“Yes… it’s me, Daniel, try your best, you’ll be okay.” Kevin held Daniel’s hand tightly as if wanting to pass half of his life to his younger brother.

Tears rolled down Daniel’s cheeks. He could feel the terrible pain tormenting him and he could also hear the sound of death calling his name.

In his last breath, Daniel no longer had the strength to contemplate too many things, only because his love for that girl was so burning that it was strong enough to help him utter his last words.

He admitted that he completely collapsed and lost control when he saw her coming out of his brother’s room in a disheveled appearance, her clothes were disheveled, but that didn’t make him hate her or his brother.

Both of them are people that he cherishes very much. He admitted that he was too stubborn to believe that he could completely win Emily’s heart.

But at least, he no longer felt sorry for her for spending the night with Emma. He only felt sorry for not having the strength to hold her hand to enter the ceremony and be by her side to protect and shelter her through a thousand storms.

“Kevin, please… take care of… her for me. Please… instead of me… marry her…”

Daniel’s voice was broken and very small, very weak, but Kevin could hear and understand because he was bowing his head very low, almost touching his brother’s face. He knew his brother was talking about Emily.

“No, please… Daniel, please stay strong and get better, you’ll be okay. You have to be responsible for Emily, you have to marry her and take care of her.” Kevin shook his head, trying to encourage him.

He knew the deep love that Daniel had for Emily and he also knew that only this love was strong enough to keep his brother’s will to continue living.

Whatever happened between him and her, he will temporarily bury it deep in his heart. He needed to use responsibility to pull his younger brother back.

“Promise… promise me… otherwise… I… I will die without closing my eyes.”

Kevin also understood that it was difficult for Daniel to overcome this challenge, but he couldn’t help but hope, he didn’t want to lose this younger brother.

If possible, he wants to exchange his life so that his brother can live. His tears flowed like rain, his sobs continued to ring out.

“Brother…” Daniel tried to hold on to his brother’s hand to beg.

“I promise… I promise I will take care of her for the rest of my life. Daniel, please… please… please try harder…”

Receiving the promise from Kevin, Daniel no longer regrets anything, he felt secure to leave.

In the last seconds of his life, the image of a beautiful, lovely girl in a white dress appeared before his eyes, reaching out a slender hand to touch his face, helping him gradually reduce the pain.

In the end, he still couldn’t wait for the day she said she loved him. In the end, he still couldn’t wait for the moment to sign the marriage certificate with her.

In the end, he still couldn’t wait for the day he took her to the wedding hall and became her husband. In the end, he still couldn’t wait to see her and give her one last hug before leaving.

His hand gradually loosened and fell, his eyes closed, and the warmth in his body gradually dissipated.

“No… Daniel… Daniel…ah… ah… ah…”

Kevin’s pitiful cry completely overwhelmed the surrounding sounds. He hugged his younger brother tightly in his arms, tears continuously falling. The world around him almost collapsed.

Why is God so unfair? He wondered why a good person like Daniel had to leave when he was so young. Why not him, a man full of sin?

“Please step aside so we can get the victim out.” A police officer stepped forward and lowered his voice to request.

Venn quickly pulled Kevin out so the rescue team could do their job.

Looking at the policemen trying to free Daniel’s trapped legs, Kevin’s heart ached like a knife cutting into it, as if he was suffering that tearing pain.

At the moment Venn pulled him a little further away to give space for the doctors to enter, the rear car door was also opened by the police, and the unconscious, bloody man inside was quickly taken out.

“Isn’t that person James?” Venn was stunned and spoke up.

Kevin’s eyes immediately moved to the white gurney and realized it was Emily’s father. Just now, he was so focused on his younger brother that he didn’t know there was another person in the back seat.

“Quick, you go follow him.” He quickly pushed Venn away and urged him.

“Yes.”

After nodding, Venn immediately rushed to James’ side and together with the medical staff took him to the ambulance and headed straight to the city hospital. He didn’t know what day it was that was so tragic.

It wasn’t until nearly five minutes later that Daniel was taken out and placed on a white stretcher, transferred to the remaining ambulance waiting.

Kevin still holds out hope that his younger brother is still alive and can be saved. He believed it was all just a nightmare, not reality.

However, the moment he received notice from the doctor that Daniel had died before being taken to the hospital, he accepted the fact that he had forever lost this beloved younger brother.

His legs could no longer stand and his whole body collapsed to the floor. The pain filled his chest, causing his chest to tighten and breathing to become difficult.

Before Kevin could regain his composure to find the phone to call his family, his father and mother appeared.

Jessica hurriedly ran over, grabbed her eldest son’s shoulders, and kept asking about Daniel’s condition.

She and her husband saw the video of the tragic accident posted on social networks by a passerby and recognized their youngest son’s license plate number.

When they contacted the police, they received notification that the two victims had been taken to the city hospital, so they rushed here.

“Why didn’t you say anything? How is your brother?” She screamed, her whole body trembling.

Kevin was miserable looking into his mother’s teary eyes. How could his mother endure this huge shock? She loved Daniel like her life, how could she bear this loss?

“Mom, Daniel… he… he left us…” He said in choking sobs, his head bowed as if he were the culprit who caused his brother’s tragic death.

“No, lie, how could Daniel leave us? He’s about to get married, he said he’s going to register his marriage this afternoon.”

Jessica shook her head and quickly stood up. However, she could not lie to herself forever when the white sheet-covered stretcher was pushed closer to the edge of the emergency room door.

Before her pale, trembling hand could touch the deceased’s face, she collapsed in her husband’s arms and completely lost consciousness.

“Kevin, take care of your younger brother…”

Matthew tried to suppress his pain, picked up his wife, and followed the nurse to take her to see the doctor. He, like his wife, until he came here, still held out hope that Daniel would be blessed, have a good life, would not be in danger of his life, and even if he became disabled, he would still be alive.

He did not expect that God would not listen to his plea and let his son enter death’s door.

At this time, the male employees of Unicons Corporation along with Emma also ran over and one of them handed the phone back to Kevin.

Just now, Venn called the company and asked them to come to support his boss’s family during this tragic time. Emma also quickly ran after them as soon as she heard the news.

“Take Daniel to the funeral home.” Kevin wiped away his tears, and his voice became weaker.

“Yes sir.”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

The group of people quickly approached and the moment they touched the body of the deputy general director, no one could hold back their tears.

Daniel has always been kind and extremely gentle to his subordinates, so in the group, no one does not like him. His sudden departure made everyone extremely sad.

As for Emma, because of the paralyzing pain, her tears couldn’t even flow, as if her emotions were completely frozen.

She couldn’t believe that this corpse covered in a white sheet was the man she loved. This morning, he is still healthy.
