That Jane visited Tina reminded Oliver of something.
It was time for him to take Roy to the hospital to see Tina.
No matter what, she was Roy's biological mother. Roy might never be able to see her again after this time.
Therefore, Oliver asked Simon to drive him home to pick up Roy so they could visit Tina together.
When Oliver told Roy that he was going to take him to the hospital, Roy looked very resistant.
When Roy had been younger, he'd been taken to the hospital frequently.
He'd been born weak and got sick quite often.
Although Oliver had invited doctors home to treat him, he couldn't move all the equipment of the hospital back home so Roy had still had to go to the hospital from time to time.
In the hospital, he'd been either shoved into cold examination machines or surrounded by a group of doctors in white coats giving her meds and fluids.
So Roy recoiled at the mention of hospital.
Oliver patiently explained why they had to go to the hospital to him.
And Roy agreed at last.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jane was still in Tina's ward.
Oliver looked at his watch and got to know from the bodyguard in the doorway that Jane had been here for about half an hour.
He had a bad feeling. It was not supposed to take that long to take one last look at someone who was dying and had lost the abilities to talk and move.
So Oliver asked the bodyguard to open the door and he went in with Roy directly.
It was a very big ward. In order not to scare Roy, Oliver decided to check out what was going on first.
He sat Roy on the sofa in the living room and asked him to wait for a while.
Then he entered Tina's room.
Jane just finished talking with Tina at that time.
Compared to the last time, Oliver arrived just in time. At least Jane had finished all her words.
Tina gazed at the ceiling with blank eyes.
Even Oliver's arrival didn't prompt any response from her.
"Why are you still here?" Oliver asked Jane.
"Mr. Williams, you care about Miss White so much. You heard I came to see her and you were on your way here immediately. Are you afraid that I will do something to a dying patient?" Jane asked in a sombre voice.
At this moment, tears welled up in Tina's eyes.
Only her eyes were still able to move now so after she heard Jane's words, tears didn't stop streaming down her face.
Nothing could be more soul-crushing than this.
She'd been so bad to Jessica who now came back as Jane to gobble her up like a wolf in cashmere.
Tina didn't understand why Jane had to tell her it was all because of her own biological father that she was so sick that even the doctors Oliver had found for her couldn't cure her.
Tina knew she was at her last gasp now.
