It’s not a long distance, but Karin has walked for a long time. If it weren’t that Troy holds her hands, she might have to walk more slowly. Thinking that if she walks more slowly, she will feel less uneasy.
On the second floor, Robert has been already waited there. His expression is also heavy. His expression has never been so heavy before.
Karin breaks free from Troy's arms and rushes forward, asking, "Where is Jacob? How is he?"
Robert raises his head and points to the ward behind him, "He’s inside."
Just when Karin is about to push the door of the ward, Troy suddenly holds her hand, "Karin, calm down."
The atmosphere suddenly freezes. Karin asks in a daze, "Why should I calm down? What happened?"
After pushing open the door of the ward with force, Karin sees the person lying on the bed. Her face suddenly turns into pale. She can’t move.
"Miss Karin..."
Seeing her face suddenly changing, Robert approaches her worriedly to support her.
Karin can see the white walls and white beds, but she can’t see the face of the person lying on the bed. Because his face is covered by a large piece of white cloth. Everything she can see is white.
After staggering a few steps, Karin almost falls down to the ground. Troy hugs her from behind. She breaks free from his embrace and continues to walk forward. When she walks in front of the bed, she feels her legs weak and then she directly falls down to the ground. She has no more strength to stand up.
"Will you open the cloth for me?"
She asks blankly.
Troy steps forward and slowly lifts the white cloth. Her last hope is shattered after seeing a familiar and distressing face. She hopes that she goes to the wrong ward or Robert finds the wrong person. That will be like the TV series. But why? Why is it so cruel in reality? Why isn’t it like the TV series this time?
Karin uses all her strength to stand up and throws herself in front of Jacob. She cries out desperately. She feels that her heart has already broken into pieces.
Maybe in the eyes of others, Jacob is just a child she has met and rescued by her. But in her heart, as early as the moment he called her sister, he became her family. In this world, except for her parents and the people she loves, she has already treated him as her family although they’re not related by blood. But now, he is dead. It seems that he is dead so miserably. She dares not look at him. If she sees his face, her heart will ache so much...
"Why this happens? Why??!!!"
She cries and asks Troy, "Tell me why this happens!!"
"When Robert found him, he was already like this. The specific reason needs to be investigated."
"So, he just died like this?"
Tears keep falling. She’s so sad that she almost can’t breathe. If she knew that chatting in the small hotel was their last talk, she would not just leave like that. She would definitely do everything possible to understand his pains. She wouldn’t let such a thing happen to him. She wouldn’t let him lie in this cold room and his scarred face covered with a white cloth.
"Don't be sad. I will find out the cause of his death. I’ll try my best to investigate. I won't let him die like this."
Troy understands how sad Karin feels. She has no siblings. Her dearest parents are unwilling to see her nor forgive her. In her heart, she has been longing for family affection. He loves her so much, so he knows her better than anyone...
