The two doctors rushed over immediately, pushing Morwenna aside as they began their intense resuscitation efforts. Nurses were already prepared with plasma and emergency medications. Morwenna stood there, frozen, like a statue, watching the motionless body of Norbert Hetfield. Years ago, when Norbert had his sudden crisis and was taken to the hospital, Morwenna had waited outside the operating room, unable to witness what was happening inside. But now, she was seeing everything with her own eyes. She watched as injections were administered into Norbert Hetfield's pale veins and listened to the chaotic beeping of the machines. The doctors even began performing CPR.

Suddenly snapping back to reality, Morwenna ran forward, breaking down into tears: "Norbert Hetfield... Grandpa, it's me, Morwenna, it's Wenna. Please don't leave me alone; I'm scared to be by myself. I promise I'll do anything, I won't go to school, I won't work, I won't go anywhere, I'll just stay with you. Just don't leave me..."

Tears poured down her face in torrents. She dared not get too close, fearing she might interfere with the resuscitation, yet she couldn't bear to be too far away, losing sight of Norbert Hetfield. Morwenna's cries were usually restrained, quiet. But now, in front of Norbert, she unleashed all her sorrow. The first time was when Norbert agreed to her divorce from Stuart if it meant her happiness. And now, she felt the looming loss of the most important person in her life once again.
