The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

“There's no more hope, Mr. Hayes. Can one live without a heart?”

Haruto raised a cruel example.

Just as he spoke, Sebastian's expression darkened drastically.

“Is it really that serious?”

“Of course. If you look at the scans, they clearly show that his organs can't even perform basic functions once the worm has died. That's the equivalent of losing his heart. This case is just out of this world. I have never seen something so unnatural in my entire life,” Haruto remarked in disbelief.

At that moment, everyone's heart sank.

This time, it felt as if there was no longer any hope left.

“What should we do? Should we tell Vivian?” Sasha finally asked with sullen expression and tears in her eyes.

Everyone was equally stumped for an answer, for they didn't know how Vivian would react upon learning of the news.

In spite of their concerns, she still found out in the end.

On the third day after Vivian awoke, her parents had gotten Xayden to give her some medication for short-term memory loss.

Three days later, due to the fact that she had the worm inside her before, her memory gradually returned. Later on, she overheard two nurses discussing something while she was taking a walk along the corridor.

“That's right. Actually, he's already dead. It's just that his family couldn't bring themselves to do it.”
