I nod to show my consent.
I don’t know who else would do this except for Whitney.
However, none of these matter anymore.
I smile and say to Steven, “It doesn’t matter. I am leaving anyway. I hope things could stop here.”
Thinking of the possibility of not seeing Frances forever, my heart feels like being cut with a knife. It
feels terrible.
If I have the chance, I will not want to leave. Still, my life seems not to give me the chance to choose.
“It’s not bad. Without Frances, I hope you can live the life you want.” Seven looks into my eyes
tenderly.
I have the instinct that he seems to have something to say, but he never says it.
“Alright, not much time left. I am leaving.”
I bid Steven farewell, walking to the gate with the luggage.
While in the lounge waiting for departure, people look at me strangely, which makes me awkward. I can
only lower my head and pretend not to see them.
I endure all the way until it is time to board. Everything seems to proceed perfectly.
As long as the plane takes off, I can leave this sad place without any relation with Frances.
At least that is what I think my heart.
Until I get a phone call.
“Hi, are you Mr. Noyes’ daughter?”
“Yes, I am.” I answer. My heart grows nervous for some reasons.
“Your parents ran into a car accident. Come to the hospital now. Your father’s situation is very bad and
so is your mother’s. If you come here late, you might lose the last chance to see them.”
Hearing the doctor’s words, it is like a lightening bolt strikes on my heart.
The last chance?
Although they have done too many things that break my heart, yet they are still my parents. It is
impossible for me to ignore them completely.
At this moment, I have no time to think about other things. I jump up from my seat and rush outside.
Tears couldn’t stop streaming from my eyes and my head is occupied by the doctor’s words.
“Madam, what’s going on?” The airline stewardess sees me and comes to ask.
Tears have already blurred my eyes. I say desperately, “I have an emergency. I must get off the plane
right now!”
With the help of the airline stewardess, I get off the plane soon.
I already ignore the strange gazes from the surrounding and take a cab to the hospital.
My heart is extremely agitated, but I run into a traffic jam. I almost collapse.
When I rush into the hospital, I only get the chance to see the doctor cover my father’s head with the
sheet.
“Dad!”
I rush forward and throw myself next to my father. His body is still warm, but he cannot answer me
anymore.
For these days, I don’t contact my parents at all. If not my resolute attitude, situation like this might
never happen.
As a daughter, I am really irresponsible.
I feel extremely self-approached. I wish to slam myself to death right now.
I hate my selfishness. Although they do something wrong, they are my parents after all. I work and earn
money, having the capability to give them a better life, but I did not do that. I do not deserve to be their
daughter.
Now, when I wish to conduct my responsibility as their child, my parents are already gone. What kind of
pain would it be?
I cry desperately and realize that my mother also runs into the car accident. What is her situation now?
“Doc, where’s my mother?”
“Dad!”
