Was this what they call "the last rally"?
It was reminiscent of the time when Alger's Uncle Jerry was gravely ill. One day, when he was on the
brink of death, he suddenly became lucid and asked to be taken home. His family quickly fulfilled his
wish, and after one last look at the home where he had lived for so many years, he peacefully closed
his eyes.
The older generation often said that those about to die have one final request: "I want to go home."
“No, sweetheart, we're not going home. You're not well yet. We need to stay here for your treatment.
Once you're better, we will take you home.” Celeste held her darling daughter's hand, tears streaming
down her face. The thought of losing her daughter was too terrifying to bear.
"Dad, Morn.” Crystal tried to grasp her parents’ hands, but she was so weak. Her voice was barely
above a whisper, each word an evident struggle.
“In this life, I'm so proud to be your daughter"
Hearing these words, Alger and Celeste broke down in tears.
“After I'm gone, don't cry. Don't be sad."
It was as if Crystal was leaving her last words, painstakingly uttering each word of advice.
"Live your lives well. I'll just be in a different form watching over you from heaven, being with you."
“Silly girl, what are you talking about? You're going to live, perhaps even live longer than us; Celeste
sobbed, "Stop talking about such morbid things. Are you thirsty? Let me get you a glass of water."
"Mom, let me finish." Crystal seemed to be failing, pausing for a while before continuing, "Don't blame
Clark or Carol. Promise me, don't harm them."
Shaking her head, Celeste cried uncontrollably, "No, no, don't say any more."
"Promise me." Crystal was struggling to breathe, but she insisted on getting a response, “Promise me!"
Seeing his daughter in such agony, Alger was heartbroken, "Okay, I promise, as long as."
Before he could finish, the door suddenly burst open. Clark, upon hearing that Crystal had woken up,
was the first one to rush over.
He was even faster than the doctors.
“Crystal.” Clark stood there, weighed down by guilt.
Tears filled Crystal's eyes. She tried to muster a smile, but her strength was quickly leaving her. She
could barely make out Clark's face.
All she knew was that the man who had rushed in was Clark. He sounded anxious and worried.
She forced a smile and with her last bit of strength, managed to utter three words, "Be happy."
Tears streamed down Clark's face.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
The monitor flatlined.
The medical team ushered them out. Alger and Celeste were inconsolable.
After updating Carol on the situation, Arabella rushed back to join the resuscitation efforts.
Kenneth and Louisa's eyes were filled with tears.
