All Chapters of Love Hits Zero When It's Maxed Out: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

[Susanna's POV]Before I could make another attempt at entering another passcode, the door suddenly opened from within.Daisy, in a pink apron, looked at me, smiling and holding a spatula."Oh, Suze, you're home. Rob and I are making supper for you."When she noticed me looking at the door lock, a realization appeared to flash across her face. She smiled at me sheepishly and explained, "Oh, Suze, the passcode is my birthday. My memory isn't that great, and Rob was afraid I'd forget the passcode and be stuck outside."I lifted my head and glanced at Robert, who was in the kitchen. This man had never been into cooking. Yet, he was currently busying himself in the kitchen, wearing an apron that matched Daisy's. When he heard us talking about him, he looked up and flashed Daisy a smile. But when his gaze landed on me, he wiped the smile off his face and said coldly, "Welcome back. Wash your hands, and let's have a housewarming meal."Dee Dee made these specially for you. She actual

[Susanna's POV]I lowered my eyes as I stroked my lower belly with my hands. The sharp pain seemed to still linger in that area. So… it was actually a baby?After seeing the doctor out, Robert walked up to me, his expression conflicted. He tucked me in and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't dwell on your grief for too long.

The doctor said you should remain hospitalized overnight for observation."I shoved him away, struggling frantically. "Get away from me! I need to find the things my mother left for me!"I had lost my child. I could not lose the slippers, too.Robert crouched, put my shoes on for me, and straightened my garments.

[Third-Person POV]Robert spent the next month in a daze. He drank himself into a stupor, lying on the same bed Susanna had once occupied. As he breathed in her scent, he felt as if he had returned to the past when she was still by his side. Everyone encouraged him to pull himself together. But all he did was hold onto a photo they took back when they were in college, as if he were holding onto a piece of treasure. He didn't go to work, nor did he meet up with any of his acquaintances. Instead, he'd hold onto his phone the entire day, sending countless messages to the number from which he would no longer receive any replies and making calls that would never be answered. Then one day, Daisy passed out at home. The doctor noted how frail she was and determined that she needed to be hospitalized for further observation.So, Robert hurried home to pack her bag. But the moment he got to the first floor of the hospital, he realized he had left his car keys.When he returned to the h
