Harper returned to the ward Taya was in and stood
at the door but dared not go in.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to face Taya, but that
she couldn’t face her departure.
Harper hugged her arms around her stomach tightly and slowly squatted against the wall as if the world. had abandoned her. She looked extremely helpless.
As Stella was leading a group of residents for rounds,
she saw Harper. She quickly asked the other doctors
to move on to the next patient while she went forward to help Harper up.
“Harper, are you all right?”
Harper shook her head stiffly.
Stella looked at Harper’s swollen eyes and took a deep breath.
“Life and death are up to fate. No one can change it. What you can do now is to spend more time with Taya so as not to have any regrets in the future.”
Stella’s words woke Harper, and a trace of vitality returned to her dull eyes.
“How long… can she live?” Harper asked in a hoarse
voice.
Stella answered honestly. “About a week…”
Harper’s body swayed, and she almost fainted.
Stella helped her. “You have to be strong for Taya.
Who else is going to be there for her?”
Harper nodded absent-mindedly. “Yes, I have to
hold on. I can’t let Taya worry about me…” Harper
muttered to herself as she struggled to walk into the
ward, exhausted.
Through the glass window, Stella saw Harper sitting
in front of Taya’s bed and caress her cheek.
The sunlight shone on the two girls, shining with a gentle golden light, which seemed to warm them.
Only then did Stella understand why Taya had saved money for Harper. After all, they depended on each
other for survival.
When she thought of how she had been alone all
these years and had never had anyone to rely on or to keep her company, Stella suddenly felt sad.
She looked down and turned to leave, leaving the
two with little time left.
Harper seemed to have calmed down. When Taya
woke up, there was a gentle smile on Harper’s face.
“I’m here, Taya. I’m right here until the end.”
