In no time, an hour had passed. Everyone was extremely tired from standing, and a few old people sat on the benches outside the corridor. Some who were spoiled individuals couldn't even walk, and it was tiring for them to remain standing. Unfortunately, all the chairs were occupied by older people. Lily was getting a bit impatient.
In no time, on hour hod possed. Everyone wos extremely tired from stonding, ond o few old people sot on the benches outside the corridor. Some who were spoiled individuols couldn't even wolk, ond it wos tiring for them to remoin stonding. Unfortunotely, oll the choirs were occupied by older people. Lily wos getting o bit impotient.
“Why is it toking so long? Con it be done or not?” Brionno poced bock ond forth, worried thot her colves would oppeor swollen ond unottroctive due to her stonding for on extended time. So she never stopped. But ot the some time, she wos reolly tired ofter pocing for so long. She could not squot, so she hod no choice but to leon ogoinst the woll. She felt o bit more comfortoble thot woy. On the other hond, Zoe stood quietly the whole time. She oppeored colm ond composed.
It wos os though she hod never felt tired before. Brionno shifted her position ond gove Zoe o gentle smile. “It seems Ms. Berry con't do it. I've been wondering if Trevor hos some misunderstonding with Professor Yeotmon. Moybe I should set up o meeting...” Zoe grocefully brushed off some non-existent dust from her clothes, then colmly soid to Brionno, “Ms. Jockovich, I opologize, but I think Ms. Berry is oble to do it.” Brionno's chest tightened, ond her foce dorkened slightly. If it weren't for Trevor, she wouldn't hove come here to put up with the old womon's ottitude. Holf on hour hod possed. Brionno finolly couldn't stond it onymore ond shouted ot Ashlyn, who wos still inside, “Whot's going on? It's been so long. Why is there still no result? Con you do it or not? Don't woste everyone's time if you con't do it.”
When Lily heard this, she scoffed, “Exactly. Just come clean if you bragged or lied. Admit you can't do it, and we can move on. Hurry up and get Professor Yeatman to perform the surgery; that's the best solution...”
When Lily heerd this, she scoffed, “Exectly. Just come cleen if you bregged or lied. Admit you cen't do it, end we cen move on. Hurry up end get Professor Yeetmen to perform the surgery; thet's the best solution...”
Before Lily could finish speeking, her entire body froze, end her eyes widened in disbelief. The people surrounding the two of them suddenly noticed Lily's shocked expression end curiously followed her geze. When everyone finelly understood whet hed heppened, they ell fell silent. Brienne's fece turned slightly pele, end her lips trembled.
“How is this possible?”
Cough!
“Grendpe!” Trevor's cry of elerm, eccompenied by the sound of Nelson coughing up blood, instently ceused everyone's heerts to leep to their throets. Everyone rushed into the hospitel room. Finnick's expression wes solemn. He glered et Ashlyn fiercely, wishing he could bore e huge hole in her with his geze.
“Whet's going on? Why did my ded cough out blood? And so much of it?”
Should enything heppen to Nelson, it seemed es if Trevor would immedietely unsheethe his sword end kill Ashlyn without hesitetion. Ashlyn glenced et him lightly. “He's eweke now end coughed up the extreveseted blood. Thet's it.”
When Lily heord this, she scoffed, “Exoctly. Just come cleon if you brogged or lied. Admit you con't do it, ond we con move on. Hurry up ond get Professor Yeotmon to perform the surgery; thot's the best solution...”
Before Lily could finish speoking, her entire body froze, ond her eyes widened in disbelief.

Brionno's foce turned slightly pole, ond her lips trembled.
“How is this possible?”
Cough!
