"Sir, you're probably wondering how I was so certain that my heart would be a match for Miss Cowell. Honestly, I find it quite strange myself, because when I came up with this plan, I somehow knew that my heart would definitely be a match."
"So I went to get tested at the hospital. That's how I knew. That's the truth."
"Sir, please don't be sad because of my passing. I have my own selfish reasons for doing this. I never ever want you to forget me, so that you will always think of me. This was how I was going to achieve that."
"Now that I've done this, I suppose you won't ever forget me now, will you?"
As Tremaine read the last line in the letter, he felt his eyes hurt so much that they nearly exploded.
Yesseca woke up.
She was in a daze when she got up.
She had a very long dream.
She never dreamt of this long before.
She saw a woman in her dream.
She couldn't quite make out the woman's face, but she felt very comfortable around her.
She was playing with the woman.
They played together for a very long time. She came to accept the woman as her best friend.
Then, they fell in love with the same man.
She decided to back away.
She allowed the woman to be with the man.
Sometime later, she felt her heart aching badly.
She was taken to the hospital.
The doctor told her that there was something wrong with her heart and that she didn't have long to live.
She felt very sad.
Just then, the woman came to see her.
The woman told her that they were best friends. She said that she had given up on being with that man and that she was going to give her heart to Yesseca.
Preslie's eyes were red, she was either very sad or very happy.
Yesseca said, "Preslie, were you worried about me? I'm fine. I was just having a very long dream."
"Yesseca!" Preslie hugged Yesseca and said, "You weren't dreaming. You had an operation. Your heart is all better now. You're no longer dying."
Yesseca was shocked then her face turned pale as she said, "You got someone to do it and took
their life!"
Preslie quickly explained, "No Yesseca. A woman did so voluntarily. She didn't have long to live and decided to donate her heart to you."
This was the story that Preslie and Selina had agreed to tell her.
She was afraid that Yesseca would be very upset if they told her the truth.
Having said that, Preslie then called in the doctor to confirm it.
The doctor repeated the same thing Preslie said earlier.
Preslie then added, "See Yesseca! I wasn't lying! In fact, we were surprised as well. We didn't know that the doctor had done the operation in secret late at night."
