Shelton seemed to be surprised at my decisiveness.
He looked at me and was stunned for a moment. Finally, he smiled gently and said, "Go ahead, I know that I can't keep you."
I slightly bowed and said, "Thank you."
Then, I turned around and left.
I did not look at Shelton again.
Although I didn't hate him, I couldn't forgive him for what he did.
I walked to the door of the emergency room and found the lights inside were still on.
I sat there, recalling what had just happened. Then I felt a little scared. If Patrick were going to die...
In that case, it would be very difficult for me to continue being alive.
But I would not die. I would bring Glenn up and would accompany Patrick then.

As time went by, I didn't know how long I had been sitting outside. Later, I fell asleep leaning against the wall because I was too tired.
I didn't open my eyes until I heard some sound.
