Raegan's hands trembled as if she was convulsing. Her tears flowed like water and her cries echoed in the corridor. Soon, a nurse came and pulled her up by the arm.

"Young lady, I'm really sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you. We understand your pain, but please, calm down. You should go see your grandmother one last time."

Raegan kicked and shook her head like a child. Her teary eyes were red and vacant as she said, "My grandmother is not in here... She's waiting for me in the ward..."

After saying that, she turned around and started to rush to the ward.

A strong hand suddenly grabbed her arm.

Hector frowned slightly. Raegan's arm was too thin as if he was holding a pencil, making Raegan seem even more fragile and delicate.

He said, "Raegan, go and have a look."

It was as if a basin of cold water had just been poured over Reagan's head. She shivered and her long eyelashes hung down while trembling densely. She looked so pitiful like a stray dog on the streets on a cold rainy night.

Hector's hand slowly moved downward until it got to her wrist as he led her to the morgue.

With her head down, Raegan followed him obediently. Her steps were light as if she was a ghost.

The staff led them in, lowered his head, and left.

There was a body on a cold iron bed. A white sheet was over it.

With her back against the door, Raegan stood frozen for a good minute. She then took one painstaking step after another.

Her entire body was trembling as she lifted the white sheet. Save for the pale lips, her grandmother Looked Like she was asleep How could this woman be dead? No, she must be having one of those deep slumbers.

ANGELA's LIBRARY

This thought gave Raegan a glimmer of hope. With a smile, she said softly, "It's time to wake up, grandma. You are pulling my legs, aren't you? Is this because I didn't take you back to your house? My car is ready. Get up, let's go right now..."

Not a single muscle moved on the old woman's face. Even her eyelashes didn't flutter. Seeing this, Raegan reached under the white cloth to hold her grandmother's cold and stiff hand. She choked with sobs, "Grandma, I don't want anything anymore. I want nothing else than to live in your house with you. Is that okay?"

Raegan leaned her head against her grandmother's chest, speaking in a very soft and gentle voice.

"Say something, please. Even if it's a single word. Don't leave me alone..."

Despite calling out for a long time, her grandmother still didn't wake up. Raegan held her grandmother's face and finally cried out.

It wasn't a sob or a whimper. This time, it was a heart-wrenching cry.

The cry was so poignant that it could melt the heart of the devil himself.

"Grandma, you can't do this to me. How am I supposed to live without you? Come back to me. I'm not ready yet..."

Her cry echoed in the room, but there was no response.
