Desperate for reassurance Karina grabbed the doctor’s arm, her voice breaking as she asked, Say it
again, doctor. Are you telling us that he is okay?”
The doctor looked at Karina and said solemnly, “I’m really sorry, but the patient’s injuries were severe.
Despite our best efforts, he didn’t make it.”
Karina’s eyes welled up with tears, her emotions overwhelming her.
She grabbed the doctor’s collar and shouted, “No, I don’t believe it!
Where is he? You can’t take him away from me!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe doctor gently but firmly freed himself from her grip and explained, “I understand your pain, but
when the patient was rushed to the operating room, his breathing was very weak. Before we began the
surgery, he left his last words. He said that if the rescue attempt failed, he wanted to be cremated
immediately to spare his loved ones unnecessary suffering. His body has already been taken to the
funeral home.”
His words sent shockwaves through Rosalynn and the others.
Suddenly, Karina impulsively grabbed the doctor’s collar again, her desperation evident.
“No, this can’t be right. You can’t make such a decision without his family’s consent. Is there some sort
of conspiracy going on here? Bring him back to me!”
The doctor frowned and warned, “Miss, please calm down. If you continue causing a scene, I’ll have to
call security.”
Other medical staff rushed forward, attempting to mediate and confirm the doctor’s words.
With teary eyes, Rosalynn turned to the doctor and apologized before gently pulling Karina away.
“Karina, you need to calm down.”
Tears streamed down Karina’s face as she said through sobs, “Rosalynn,
I can’t calm down! I need to see him one last time!”

“Karina!”
Rosalynn quickened her pace, determined to catch up with her friend.
After bidding farewell to the doctor, Sanford and Maggie rushed to catch up with Rosalynn.
In the midst of this, a middle-aged woman hurried over.
When she saw Rosalynn, she asked anxiously, ““Rosalynn, where is Barlow?”
It was Barlow’s aunt, Haleigh.
Rosalynn had no choice but to stop. She could only watch as Karina darted into the elevator. She
turned to Sanford and Maggie and said,
“Sanford, Maggie, please follow Karina.”
