Chapter 421 âZy died?â
That struck Olivia like lightning. She was shocked She felt as though she had stopped breathing once she heard the news.
Unwilling to believe it, she looked at Ken, trying to say something, but in the end, she gave up.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and dripped onto her hand. The feeling of it snapped her out of her sorrow. Awake from her daze, she grabbed Ken and roared as she questioned, âYou promised me she would be fine!
âWhy did you lie to me? Zy wonât die! She wonât die!â
Just as she was expressing her devastation, the nurse pushed out a bed with a white cloth over it covering Zyla.
Olivia froze and turned around to look at the white cloth. She bit her lips and let go of Ken.
She limped to the bed and lifted the white cloth with her trembling hands. All she saw was Zylaâs pale face.
After staring at it for a few seconds, she gently touched Zylaâs face.
It was still warm.
She grabbed the nurseâs hand and screamed like a lunatic. âNurse, sheâs not dead. Her body is still warm. Why did you lie to me that sheâs dead?â
Her actions startled the nurse. âCalm down, Miss. The patient is dead. Iâm sorry.â
âNo!â She cried and shook her head, hammering her hand against the wall. âYou lied! You lied to me. She isnât dead.â
As she shouted, she looked at Zyla and pounced on her as she wailed, âZy, please donât pretend to be asleep, okay?
âIâm sorry I ate your cupcakes. Iâll never do that again. Iâll never crawl onto your bed and cuddle you. Zy. please wake up. Stop sleeping... Itâs not funny.â
However, the girl never answered, no matter how much she screamed.
The girl who had been smiling all throughout her bitter life was now gone.
Zac approached to pull her up. âLiv, donât do this. If Zyla is...â
âZy loves me more than anything.â Olivia turned around and looked at Zac. âShe dotes on me so much. She will wake up if Iâm suffering. She wouldnât let me cry. Right, Zac?â
He could not answer her, but he did not want her to cry.
Olivia was already weak, and her cancer was still torturing her. She had even hurt her leg and gotten wet in the cold water. Her body would be ruined if things continued on like this.
However, he comforted her because nothing else was important right now.
Just then, lanâs doctor came looking for her.
âMs. Larson, we have rescued your brother.â
Then, she heard the doctor say, âHowever, his bodily functions have not been re-activated because he had been frozen for a long time. Although there is no brain damage, there is a good chance he will be in a persistent vegetative state.â
Vegetative state?
Oliviaâs body swayed, and she fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Zac caught her, and she barely managed to stand up.
Looking at Zyla on the bed and at the doctor, she pursed her lips and laughed.
Her laughter grew louder until, at last, she was crying hysterically.
The two people she cared about the most were both in terrible states. One was dead, and the other was in a vegetative state, yet she was still alive.
âThe world is so unfair!â
She poked herself in the chest with her pointer finger and screamed, âIâm the one who deserves to die! Itâs me, a loser with terminal cancer!
âWhy? Why didnât I die?â
Her voice grew softer as she sobbed. âlan is only 13 years old. Heâs still so young and has a bright future ahead of him.
âZyla... She is in her early 20s, and she just had a baby. Why? Why...â
Oliviaâs vision went black, and she fell on Zacâs body.
Her tears were still flowing down her cheeks even after she fainted.
