Abandoned Lover [Future]

Xiao was the first to arrive at the waiting room in front of the operating room, but he must not be the only one worried about Eugene.

It's just that he didn't expect that the second person to arrive was actually Dietrich.

Eugene was the emergency contact set up many years ago.The hospital contacted them one by one in sequence. The terminal information of the first person showed "logged out", so they could only give up; the second person was Joshua, but they couldn't get in touch—this person had been prepared for a long time. When he rushed to the hospital, he was directly thrown to the ground by the female general in the name of "dereliction of duty". After the terminal was confiscated, he was continuing to patrol the fighting arena in despair.Fortunately, the third person finally answered the call, and the hospital directly notified him of his critical illness.

Dietrich, who rushed to the hospital, was wearing ordinary clothes, which is rare, and his short golden brown hair was disheveled by running.Without the blessing of the dress hat and cane, he looks more like an ordinary young man, rather than the contemptuous dandy of the Arning family.

He didn't see Shaw at first.In front of the door of the operating room, Dietrich looked at the sign that said "in operation", his legs softened, and he knelt on the ground.After a while he recovered, his chest heaved and he wanted to use his trembling hands to support himself to stand up.

Then he saw Xiao sitting in the first row of seats in the waiting room behind him.

Xiao lowered his head, and there were still wet tears on his expressionless face.Seeing a pair of brown leather shoes appearing in his field of vision, Xiao raised his head subconsciously.

The moment the two of them met their gazes, they felt extremely absurd to each other.

For Dietrich, Shaw was the biggest mistake he ever made.The cyborg he wants to customize has never looked like Xiao from the very beginning, but because of some unexpected accidents, he was forced to change all the requirements on the order at the last second, and receiving such a substitute is not counted. thing.The decision to give up Xiao was easy for him. He even put him with Eugene out of selfishness, so as to find an excuse for him to visit this elder brother who often forgot his existence from time to time.

Things would have come to a point far beyond Dietrich's wildest imagination.

He looked at Xiao.The expressionless face was as disgusting as ever, and the tears under the eyelashes stung his eyes.

——It’s just a machine that can’t have emotions, what right does it have to cry for Eugene?

--Do not make jokes.

When Dietrich pulled him up by the collar, Xiao didn't struggle.

His body betrayed him the instant he saw Dietrich.His torn heart beat rapidly as if bewitched, and his hand wanted to reach out, trying to hug the person in front of him.His mind was still on Eugene behind the door, but his programming forced him to look at Dietrich.

It's almost like a vicious curse.

Dietrich dragged him to the wall and slammed him against the wall.This kind of strength is not painful to a biochemical person, but Xiao feels tired like never before—this body is almost coordinating Dietrich's violence, and his so-called self-awareness is helpless.

"Why don't you die?" Dietrich's right hand strangled his neck, and his fingers sank deep into the flesh on the side of his neck.The free left hand clenched into a fist, and hit Xiao's upper abdomen hard. "If it wasn't for you, nothing would happen to him."

Second punch, third punch, fourth punch.Then Dietrich's right hand tugged at his long hair and slammed his head against bent knees.

During this process, he heard clearly every word Dietrich said to him.

—Go to hell, you piece of shit.

——Why do you let him do this for you?

- You are not worth it at all.Who do you think you are.

——You shouldn't exist in the first place.You trash.How can you compare with him?

During this process, Xiao Hua sat on the ground, with his long legs slightly bent, and his back against the wall.Dietrich squatted down and squeezed his chin firmly with his right hand.

"How did you lie to him? You are my thing. He doesn't know how to raise you like a dog."

These words made Xiao suddenly raise his head.He looked into Dietrich's completely different eyes from Eugene's, raised a hand, and slowly opened the other's fingers on his face one by one.

The cyborg's restriction prevented him from hurting Dietrich, but within this limit, he used the greatest strength he could.

"...I never chose you." Xiao opened his mouth, his voice hoarse. "I never chose to be your thing."

"If given a choice, I would not choose you as my master."

"I don't want a master at all."

Xiao stood up slowly while supporting his knees.He was taller than Dietrich, and when he stood up straight and looked at Dietrich, he felt condescending.

"I understand what you said better than anyone else. I also know that I am not worth it. I am not even a human being, and I can't compare with him at all."

Xiao smiled bitterly.

"If I can guarantee Eugene wakes up safely by disappearing now, I will be the first to kill myself."

"But no one can guarantee this, so I won't do that."

"I'm going to wait for him to wake up. Because I can stand here like this, he gave me back with his life. He thinks I'm worth it."

"...He thinks I'm worth it." Xiao repeated, his voice choked with gnashing of teeth, as if he wished Eugene hadn't thought about it. "So Dietrich, say what you will."

"If there is a choice, I also want to be a person, and I also want to stay by his side in a fair manner."

"I also... don't want to lie to him."

There was no weak expression on Xiao's face, but his eyes were still red.Dietrich hated his behavior, as if Shaw was something equal to him, and also as if he really showed his heart to Eugene.

However, where does Xiao come from sincerity.

It's just a program of self-deception, but it's really disgusting to put on such a posture in front of his eyes.

Dietrich also stood up straight.Thinking of Xiao's words "he thinks I'm worth it", he couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.

And he really did.

"He thinks I'm worth it," Dietrich deliberately imitated Shaw's speech again with a weird tone, "Listen to what you're talking about?"

"It's all for him to pity you, don't you take it seriously?" He sniffed, as if crying because of the joke. "Do you really think you are playing some affectionate drama?"

"That's right, he went to the arena for you, very moving, very romantic." Dietrich patted Shaw's face with the back of his hand, "But have you thought about it? He's not just for you Do it."

"As early as 12 years ago, he was able to go to the arena to fight for a wild dog. Do you think you are special?" Dietrich looked at Xiao: "Let me guess, he didn't tell you that he went to the arena. What wish did you make once?"

"Eugene really loved that dog. What about you, Shaw? Did he ever say he loved you?" Dietrich watched the slight change in the expression on Xiao's face almost with pleasure.

He guessed right.

He didn't know Eugene's feelings for Xiao, but he knew Eugene's pride - if the other party couldn't respond, there were certain things Eugene would not say.

"It's just a sympathetic toy, don't forget your identity." Dietrich took a step back. "I just hope that Eugene can wake up safely and lose the next game safely."

"I can't wait for the day when you are destroyed."

"I look forward to it."

Xiao didn't speak.

"Is Mr. Palmer's emergency contact available?" When the two of them looked at each other silently, the door of the operating room suddenly opened, and a nurse came out of it.Dietrich turned away hastily, said "I am," and turned pale.

"Mr. Palmer's condition began to stabilize during the operation, and the surgeon who performed the surgery decided to temporarily withdraw the notice of critical illness." The nurse said so, and looked at the two people in front of him with a sigh of relief.Before that, Xiao didn't even know that Eugene had been sent to a critical condition, and he was afraid that his teeth would shake a little, so he could only grit his teeth silently.

"As for the future treatment methods, because I haven't regained consciousness yet, we need contacts or relatives here to decide the level of care and medication..."

"Use the best, I can pay for the treatment in advance." Dietrich said, rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, revealing the terminal on his wrist.

"Thank you for your cooperation, please follow me, we have some documents that need your confirmation and signature."

Dietrich turned and glanced at Shaw before leaving.

...what can you do, Shaw?

You have nothing, nothing.

Xiao watched him leave, then returned to his previous seat, clasped his hands, lowered his head, and waited quietly.

……

It hurts.

It really hurts.

A piece of his left waist and abdomen seemed to be burning, burning his head to the point of boiling.Eugene felt in a trance that he was back in the metal room again, and he was suspended from the ceiling by ropes, and someone was pressing a bright red iron on his waist.He struggled frantically like a live fish whose scales had been cut, and there was still the smell of burnt flesh in the air.

That memory was so painful that he wanted to struggle to wake up even though his consciousness was blurred.After struggling to open his eyes, Eugene saw white lights, a white ceiling, and several familiar faces in front of him.

Eugene looked at them one by one slowly, and finally he was able to gradually recognize the person——Dietrich.Joshua.Mary.Old Earl.

The voices of these people sounded a little far away, buzzing so hard that he couldn't hear them clearly.Eugene just turned his eyes and looked among these people twice, and had already used up most of the strength in his body.

But there is still one person missing.

Closing his eyes, Eugene endured the burning sensation that affected his whole body when he spoke, forced himself to move his lips, and said a syllable.

"resemble."

As Mary yelled "He's calling you," someone finally came from the corner of the room and shook his hand.Eugene wanted to open his eyes to look at the other party, but his eyelids were so heavy that he could only see a vague outline.

He no longer had the strength to speak out, so he could only move his lips in Xiao's direction, and fell into a coma again.

--nothing.

More than one person read the lips, and there was a stunned silence in the room.

In this ward, everyone's attitude towards Xiao was very embarrassing.Dietrich hated him, Joshua took it upon him, Earl couldn't understand Eugene's decision, and Mary was alone, crying and trying to comfort him.

But Xiao understands that everyone is probably blaming him more or less.So when Eugene woke up, as the culprit, he didn't even dare to stand beside Eugene's bed.No one knew that during Eugene's drowsy day and night, when everyone left, he was the one kneeling beside Eugene's bed, holding Eugene's hand and taking care of him carefully.

What Dietrich had said to him still weighed heavily on his mind.It's not that he didn't feel uneasy, and it wasn't that he didn't doubt what kind of mood Eugene was in helping him.However, when he saw Eugene's sleeping face, these emotions seemed to be unimportant.

In the middle of the night, he combed Eugene's hair with his fingers, looking at the other's frown that was still slightly frowning in his sleep.He thought that as long as Eugene could wake up, he would be satisfied.

Then Eugene really woke up.

Of all the people, Eugene called his name and told him it was all right.

This thick and deep tenderness made Xiao's throat and chest sore.

Ignoring the complicated gazes of other people in the room, Xiao bent down, raised Eugene's hand, and kissed him reverently and lightly.

"I'm here. I've always been."
