Meeting Rebecca

Hunter's POV

We are following Mindy, and I was walking beside Madeline, and I want to lace my fingers with her to tell her through my actions that everything will be alright. Still, Rebecca's illness stops me from doing it because I don't want to worsen her condition. After all, I know Madeline is doing this. And she wants to help my ex-fiancee, and I will be forever thankful for her selflessness. 

I can't contain the pounding of my heart as we near Rebecca's room, and I felt various emotions, including excitement, fear, and I wonder why it is possible to be happy and sad at the same time. Mindy is ahead of me, and I noticed my wife moved behind me, and I know why, even though she seemed so strong and determined to do this, deep in her heart, she is hurting, and Madeline is not the only one suffering at this moment. I want to shout to release all the emotions building up inside me, and I want to ask why? Why it has to be us who will suffer this kind of fate.
