L's Decision
Seeing Lily's pitiful condition and L sobbing, London couldn't hold back his sorrow. He knelt down and hugged L from behind, burying his head in her back.
L, who noticed the man's presence, then looked at him and spontaneously rubbed his head. Nobody could understand what they were feeling besides each other. As parents of the same baby, both of them felt the same grief and anxiety, that Lily wouldn't survive.
They then cried silently to each other. London's tears had wet L's clothes on her back and a few minutes later, he broke away from her with a guilty face.
"Sorry, I wet your clothes," he said reluctantly. All his life, he didn't remember ever shedding tears this much.
L was still wearing a hospital gown and she didn't seem to care at all about her appearance. Her hair and the upper part of her gown had been wet from her own tears.
Hearing an apology from London, she just shook her head and pointed to the cupboard in the corner of the room.
