Be prepared?
What does she mean?
My heart aches, and I take a step back to balance myself.
I am nervous to hear what she's going to say.
But my eagerness to see him defeats the fear. I can't wait.
I grab Linda's hand tightly and say in a low voice.
"Where is he now? How is he? Could he be..."
He can't be dead!
But overdose often leads to death.
Frances is unconscious when he is taken away. He could die from oxygen deprivation.
I feel a twinge in my heart.
I can't imagine.
Linda stares at me for a while before she sighs, "Forget it, go and see with your own eyes."
"I thought I couldn't see him." I ask her in doubt.
Having begged that policewoman for so long, I'm told this is secret.
Now I don't even know if he's alive or dead.
I have a lot to say to him. I have a lot to do with him. I have a long life to share with him. He has to be fine.
"Trust me, I know what to do." Linda gives me a comforting look and says in a low voice.
With Linda's assurance, I can't wait for a moment longer and urge her to bring me over immediately.
When we arrive, I find myself at the military hospital. Is he in there?
Guards can be seen patrolling every day, which can guarantee Frances’ safety.
When the car stops, I want to get inside and see him as soon as I can.
