But what could a doctor possibly do in this situation? Bob was at the brink of death. The only thing left
for them to do was try their best to prolong his life.
"If you have something to say, just say it. We don't have more time!" The doctor sighed and turned to
Bob's father.
Bob's father was kneeling on the floor. His eyes were closed in despair. He could feel what little hope
left was slipping from his grasp.
Bob, who had just been in such high spirits, had now closed his eyes gently. The effects of the
medicine was gradually fading away.
"I'm dying, right?" Bob asked slowly His voice was so soft that it was difficult for others to hear him
properly.
But who could answer his question? It was such a cruel thing to ask!
"As it turns out, I'm going to die soon. I thought it would just be a small operation, and I could still see
my parents afterwards. Can't I do it now?" Tears streamed down Bob's face. When his eyes landed on
Anne, who was just in front of him, he suddenly thought of something and said, "Aunt Anne, don't you
think I'm too young to die? I know almost nothing of the world yet, but I knew that you wanted my heart
so that Eddy can continue to live.
And now that I'm dying, Eddy can have my heart. Please tell him that he must lead a good life for me."
Anne covered her mouth with her hand as she watched Bob sadly. Her heart hurt by how pitiful Bob
was.
"Daddy, you and mommy should live well and have more lovely babies. And even if I'm dead, I won't
ever forget you. Mommy once told me that everyone has a soul and they will all become angels in
heaven. I promise to watch and protect you from there..."
Bob's words were already growing slow and sparse. His beautiful eyes were slowly falling to a close.
"Don't sleep yet, Bob. Listen to me. Don't sleep. Look at Dad. If you don't listen to me, Dad will become
very angry. Open your eyes quickly. Don't you miss mom? I'll call mom right now and ask her to come
over. Can you still open your eyes?" Bob's father was growing frantic as he held Bob's hand tightly into
his own.
On the other side of the room, the head doctor could only look at the heart monitor that showed a
gradually flattening line. He then shook his head slightly.
His heart had finally stopped beating. It was too late to save him now!
"No, Bob! Open your eyes and look at Dad. Don't you want to see your little sister? Open your eyes!"
Bob's father shook his head in disbelief.
But what could he possibly do now? Even though he didn't want to believe that his son was gone, there
was nothing he could do to change anything.
Bob's father held on to Bob's small body tightly. He wouldn't dare let him go at all. His eyes were
unseeing as if he was in a trance.
Anne could no longer hold back her tears. They now flowed freely from her eyes as she walked out of
the operating room.
Sam and the others immediately came up to her and asked worriedly, "What's happening inside?"
The nurse had told them that Bob had already passed away. However, they were now concerned about
his heart.
"Bob said that he wanted to give Eddy his heart," Anne said weakly as she leaned against Kevin.
This boy, who knew that he was being used all along, still wanted to give his heart away to Eddy. The
mere thought of this made Anne's heart ache. It felt as if it was breaking all over again, and all she
could do was clutch her chest tightly.
"This is all our fault, Kevin. I feel so sorry for the boy," Anne said, closing her eyes as if she could dispel
the pain away.
Kevin didn't say anything. He just hugged his wife tightly. Indeed, they should feel sorry for the boy. In
fact, they had always felt sorry for him. But this was for Eddy's sake! They couldn't afford to be sorry.
It look a long time before Bob's mother suddenly rushed in. Her eyes were bloodshot and wild.
Bob's father had come here without telling her what happened. And now, she couldn't find her husband
anywhere. She had to call him to find out that he was in the hospital and that Bob had already passed
away.
Her son was gone! She didn't even take one last look of her own child before he died!
No mother could accept such fate.
And even though she knew she was currently pregnant, she couldn't hold back her emotions at all.
Upon seeing Bob's mother, Anne immediately stood up and approached her. Bob's mother grasped
Anne. Her eyes still burned with madness. "Is Bob still there, Anne? My husband must be wrong, right?
My Bob is still so young. How could he possibly die?"
Anne could only cover her mouth with her hand. Her tears stubbornly escaped her eyes as she looked
at Bob's mother.
She also couldn't believe that Bob was really dead. How could he pass away like this?
"No!" Bob's mother wailed. Her mouth opened wide as she pushed Anne away and ran towards the
operating room.
Anne could only just stand there, looking lost as if a part of her soul went missing.
Then, Bob's mother's loud cries rang out of the operating room. Anne could only sigh and close her
eyes.
It happened, and now, there was nothing they could do about it anymore.
Then, Anne's phone began vibrating. She took it out, and her face fell as soon as she read the name
on the screen.
It was from Kim.
"Bob must be dead now, Anne. Should I be expecting a thank you from you? There was no way to save
his life after all, and Eddy needs his heart. It seems like I have just solved a big problem for you. So,
don't forget to invite me for dinner whenever you are free!"
Unable to restrain herself, Anne threw her phone against the wall and gritted her teeth. The device
smashed into pieces and were now scattered all over the floor. That lunatic!
Sam turned to look at Kevin, who frowned and pulled Anne into his arms.
"Anne, I know you are feeling guilty. I, too, feel the same. But this already happened. We can't do
anything to change it. Besides, now our boy has a chance to live long. He can be saved!" Kevin said,
soothingly. His voice was so low that Anne almost couldn't hear him.
But upon hearing the last sentence, she suddenly laughed. It was true. Bob was dead, but her own son
could be saved!
