Chapter 294
Harper returned to the ward Taya was in and stood at the
door but dared not go in.
It wasn't that she didn't want to face Taya, but that she
couldn't face her departure.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Harper hugged her arms around her stomach tightly and slowly squatted against the wall as if the world had abandoned her. She looked extremely helpless.
As Stella was leading a group of resents for rounds, she saw Harper. She quickly asked the other doctors to move on to the next patient while she went forward to help Harper up. "Harper, are you all right?"
Harper shook her head stiffly.
Stella looked at Harper's swollen eyes and took a deep breath.
"Life and death are up to fate. No one can change it. What you can do now is to spend more time with Taya so as not to have any regrets in the future."
Stella's words woke Harper, and a trace of vitality returned to
her dull eyes.
"How long... can she live?" Harper asked in a hoarse voice.
Stella answered honestly. "About a week..."
Harper's body swayed, and she almost fainted.
Stella helped her. "You have to be strong for Taya. Who else is going to be there for her?"
Harper nodded absent-mindedly. "Yes, I have to hold on. I can't let Taya worry about me..." Harper muttered to herself as she struggled to walk into the ward, hausted.
Through the glass window, Stella saw Harper sitting in front of Taya's bed and caress her cheek.
The sunlight shone on the two girls, shining with a gentle golden light, which seemed to warm them.
Only then did Stella understand why Taya had saved money for Harper. After all, they depended on each other for survival.
When she thought of how she had been alone all these years and had never had anyone to rely on or to keep her company, Stella suddenly felt sad.
She looked down and turned to leave, leaving the two with
little time left.
Harper seemed to have calmed down. When Taya woke up,
there was a gentle smile on Harper's face.
"I'm here, Taya. I'm right here until the end."
