Chapter 421
‘Zy died?’
That struck Olivia like lightning. She was shocked
She felt as though she had stopped breathing once she heard the news.
Unwilling to believe it, she looked at Ken, trying to say something, but in the end, she gave up.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto her hand. The feeling of it snapped her out of her
sorrow. Awake from her daze, she grabbed Ken and roared as she questioned, “You promised me she
would be fine!
“Why did you lie to me? Zy won’t die! She won’t die!”
Just as she was expressing her devastation, the nurse pushed out a bed with a white cloth over it
covering Zyla.
Olivia froze and turned around to look at the white cloth. She bit her lips and let go of Ken.
She limped to the bed and lifted the white cloth with her trembling hands. All she saw was Zyla’s pale
face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter staring at it for a few seconds, she gently touched Zyla’s face.
It was still warm.
She grabbed the nurse’s hand and screamed like a lunatic. “Nurse, she’s not dead. Her body is still
warm. Why did you lie to me that she’s dead?”
Her actions startled the nurse. “Calm down, Miss. The patient is dead. I’m sorry.”
“No!” She cried and shook her head, hammering her hand against the wall. “You lied! You lied to me.
She
isn’t dead.”
As she shouted, she looked at Zyla and pounced on her as she wailed, “Zy, please don’t pretend to be
asleep, okay?
“I’m sorry I ate your cupcakes. I’ll never do that again. I’ll never crawl onto your bed and cuddle you. Zy.
please wake up. Stop sleeping… It’s not funny.”
However, the girl never answered, no matter how much she screamed.
The girl who had been smiling all throughout her bitter life was now gone.
Zac approached to pull her up. “Liv, don’t do this. If Zyla is…”
“Zy loves me more than anything.” Olivia turned around and looked at Zac. “She dotes on me so much.
She will wake up if I’m suffering. She wouldn’t let me cry. Right, Zac?”
He could not answer her, but he did not want her to cry.
Olivia was already weak, and her cancer was still torturing her. She had even hurt her leg and gotten
wet in the cold water. Her body would be ruined if things continued on like this.
However, he comforted her because nothing else was important right now.
Just then, lan’s doctor came looking for her.
“Ms. Larson, we have rescued your brother.”
Then, she heard the doctor say, “However, his bodily functions have not been re-activated because he
had been frozen for a long time. Although there is no brain damage, there is a good chance he will be
in a persistent vegetative state.”
Vegetative state?
Olivia’s body swayed, and she fell to the ground.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFortunately, Zac caught her, and she barely managed to stand up.
Looking at Zyla on the bed and at the doctor, she pursed her lips and laughed.
Her laughter grew louder until, at last, she was crying hysterically.
The two people she cared about the most were both in terrible states. One was dead, and the other
was in a vegetative state, yet she was still alive.
“The world is so unfair!”
She poked herself in the chest with her pointer finger and screamed, “I’m the one who deserves to die!
It’s me, a loser with terminal cancer!
“Why? Why didn’t I die?”
Her voice grew softer as she sobbed. “lan is only 13 years old. He’s still so young and has a bright
future ahead of him.
“Zyla… She is in her early 20s, and she just had a baby. Why? Why…”
Olivia’s vision went black, and she fell on Zac’s body.
Her tears were still flowing down her cheeks even after she fainted.
