The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)

Adding pressure onto the accelerator, Edmund sped to the airport.

With the new clue on his fingertips, finding the Zanders should be a breeze. Not to mention that Edmund already had friends from Moranta. The next afternoon after Tillie had gone missing, Edmund managed to find Tillie in a hospital in Moranta.

“Ms. Zander, why are you only sending your father for treatment now? His condition is grave. Even after the surgery, there is no guarantee that he will recover.”

Edmund found Tillie standing in a hallway, talking to a doctor in a white coat. After the doctor revealed the diagnostic results, Tillie paled as her body began to sway.

If it weren't for the fact that the doctor caught her in time, Tillie would have fallen head first onto the ground.

Edmund clenched his fists slightly.

Out of concern, the doctor asked Tillie if she was alright and helped her to a nearby bench. Seeing how easy it was for the doctor to carry Tillie to the bench, only then did Edmund notice how terribly skinny she had become.

It was as if a gust of strong wind could carry her away.

“Would you like me to help you back into the room so you can lie down, Ms. Zander?”

“It's alright. I'd like to sit here for a while. Thank you, doctor.”

Tillie answered absentmindedly, as though her soul had been sucked out of her body. Her cheekbones were prominent as the color drained from her skinny face.

Were there any words that could describe how she felt at that moment?

Truthfully, there were none.

As despair filled her chest, Tillie felt each painful crack as her heart broke into a million pieces. Only one thing remained in her mind: guilt.
