"Do you have amnesia?" Mya casually said, "I have said that Finnley and I will stay. Your parents should go home."
"Who wants you here?" Eloise talked back.
"I want to be here with you, okay?" Mya was not angry at all.
Madeline was still immersed in sadness but she couldn't show it. She forced a smile at Eloise. She might not see her daughter so happy and alive in just a month...
"Mom, what's the matter with you?" Eloise noticed that there seemed to be something on her mind, and she was confused. "I have woken up, haven't I? I didn't have amnesia, and I don't want to commit suicide anymore. Shouldn't you be happy? Why are you unhappy?"
"I am happy." Madeline tried to adjust her mood, "We are all happy you woke up." she smiled.
Pierre also sowed a smile on his face, "We should leave now. Finnley and Mya will stay here with you. After all, you are much happier having them here with you."
"You shouldn't think about anything!" Mya said, "Just focus on your recovery."
Eloise complained, "I get a headache upon seeing you." She just wanted to be alone here with Finnley.
"You think I want to see you?" Mya retorted, and then poured her another glass of water. "Drink it."
When the Calders left, Finnley followed them out. After a while, Mya also came out.
This was the first time the four were alone since knowing that Eloise was terminally ill.
Madeline wiped her tears and didn't know how to feel better.
Pierre was also depressed, frowning, sadness shrouded them, "This might be just fate. She's..."
