Chapter 21:

When Jeffrey was taken to the emergency room, Rachel waited outside, anxiously awaiting any news.

She sat there with messy hair, a pale face, and a trembling body.

She looked utterly drained, as if all the life had been sucked out of her.

She felt the overwhelming urge to cry, but no sound escaped her lips.

This was the heartbreaking sight that greeted Yvonne when she arrived. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and pulled Rachel into a comforting embrace. “Jeffrey is in capable hands. He’s going to be okay.”

Rachel clung to her and cried so hard that she couldn’t say a word.

Jeffrey was the only family in her heart, the last bond her mother had given her. He was her entire world.

If anything happened to him, she didn’t know how she would go on. The thought of facing the world alone was unbearable.

“Yvonne, why?” she choked out. “Life has always been so cruel. It took my mother from us before we even had the chance to know her. Why does Jeffrey have to suffer too? If I could, I’m willing to bear those sufferings for him.”

She could endure anything. All she wanted was for her brother to have a life free of pain, to be happy and safe. Was that too much to ask?

Yvonne tightened her embrace, searching for words that simply wouldn’t come. Five agonizing hours passed as the surgery continued.

By the time the doctor finally stepped out of the operating room, it was already dark.

Thankfully, the results were positive.

Sitting in the doctor’s office, Rachel repeated the words, as if struggling to believe them. “So, the tests show that my brother fainted because of a blood clot in his head?”

“Yes, the clot is at the back of his head,” the doctor explained. “From our experience, this type of injury is typically caused by a strong impact—most likely an attack from behind. Has he been in any danger recently?”
