Crossroads

Chapter 342

Not everything in this world goes as one wishes.

Even if Stephanie prayed with all her might, there was no room for negotiation with Death on the hospital operating table.

Stephanie curled up in a chair, staring blankly at the red “Surgery in Progress” sign. Diana, sitting next to her, had her eyes red from crying, and Samantha was trembling, praying continuously
