Tina watched Justin disappear in the doorway. She knew he was afraid to stand there, afraid his mother would leave them.
“Doctor…”
“Doctor, help!”
Looking at the blood on the tissue, Tina was so scared that her tears fell more violently and she cried.
Her mother, breathing faster and faster, held Tina’s hand tightly.
“Mom, just hang in there, the doctor will be back soon!” Tina said with tears in her eyes.
Her mother shook her head weakly and said with a smile, “Tina, mom is dying. Listen to me carefully.”
“No!”
Tina grabbed her mother’s hand and held it to her face.
Vincent sat in his office chair, his hands crossed, his long legs elegantly overlapping.
Knocking…
“Come in!”
“Vincent!”
Grinning, Nathaniel leaned over to his desk, his eyes on Vincent.
“What?” Vincent looked at him coldly.
“Didn’t you go to the hospital to see Tina? What are you doing back here?”
Nathaniel came here today to get his big brother to talk, so he could go back to his parents and claim credit.
The cell phone rang just then. Vincent looked at the number, frowned, and picked up the phone.
Nathaniel thought it was a business call, but he heard Vincent say, “I’ll be right there!”
With that, Vincent picked up his coat and headed out the door.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“To the hospital!”
Nathaniel was startled for a second. Was there anything wrong?
He immediately caught up with Vincent and started the car to the hospital.
“My Tina, I… can’t stay… with you… anymore, so you have to… take good care of…” Her mother's hand dropped feebly.
“We’re still too late!” Nathaniel stood in the doorway with a restless look on his face.
Her eyes closed gently, with a sense of regret. At this moment, Nathaniel suddenly felt that death was really close to us.
“Mon…”
“Mom, how could you leave Justin and me? What should we do?” Tina cried bitterly and clung to her mother’s body.
Vincent walked behind Tina and looked at her mother lying on the bed. “You can rest assured! I will take good care of Tina and not let her get hurt.” He whispered to himself.
Tina’s voice was so desperate that everyone in the room wanted to cry.
“Don’t be too sad, it will all pass!” Vincent said consolingly, standing next to her.
Life was full of changes. Everything was fine just now, but now life and death were separated, so we should cherish the family and friends around us.
Nathaniel walked to a corner of the hallway, picked up his cell phone and called Rosemary.
