Eddy didn’t even look at Layla as he said to Caroline, “You should go in there. Grandpa has something to tell you.”
When Caroline him, she ripped herself away from the nurse who was restraining her. Then, she wiped her tears and followed Eddy into the operation theatre.
The place was filled with the smell of blood. The doctor had already removed the bullet from
Jude’s chest and placed it on the tray. It looked harsh under the bright light.
Caroline walked quickly to Jude. Her tears were already falling before she could even say anything. “Grandpa …”
Jude’s eyes lit up when he heard Caroline’s voice.
He tried to raise his hand to touch her, but his arms felt like they were made of lead. He couldn’t
lift them at all.
“Carrie … I seemed to have heard your grandmother’s voice… I’m going to meet her soon…‘

“Carrie, I’m about to pass on. But b–before I do, can you agree to my request?”

“Grandpa.”

What do you need, Grandpa?”

Eddy quickly gave Jude his hand.
Then, Jude said to Caroline, “Carrie…”
Caroline also gave Jude her hand.
Jude struggled to put their hands together, but he had no strength left. Moreover, he could feel the end coming closer and closer. He had no choice but to look at their separated hands with regret.
He whispered, “C–Carrie, m–my request is for you you can I … can I feel at ease …”
