Chapter 8 Potion of Life
Mansion
"Dad, Mom! I'm Home!"
"LIEKRIS! Where we're you? Come here fast! " Dad hurriedly came towards me and grabbed my hand. He brought me to mother's room.
"Dad? Why did you bring me...here?"
Hah...?
"D-dad what is this?" I slowly approached my mom who's currently lying in her bed.
What's Happening...?
"Mom? What's wrong?..." I held her hand and asked her with teary eyes.
I held her hand tightly as she opened her eyes.
"Baby... I'm sleepy...I don't think I can live any longer..." She said while looking at me with her sweet loving eyes...She looks so tired.
Mom...
"Please don't say that!"
"Mistress"
"Ma'am..."
"Hon...Doc! Please do something!" My dad rushed towards the doctors beside mother's bed and begged them to do everything they can to treat her.
"I-I'm sorry, Sir. But, we don't know the cause of Ms. Zarisson's illness." They all lowered their heads and apologized to my father.
I was surprised to what the Doctor said so I left the room as fast as I can and went to the back of the Mansion.
I can't handle the thought of losing my mom...
No...

Mother's Room
Mom...
I walked towards her while clenching my fist as my heart tightened.
I sat beside her and once again held her hand...
"Baby..." My mom looked at me as I looked at her forcing myself not to cry.
"Mom... I'm sorry" I'm sorry I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry I'm so weak.
My eyes started tearing up once again as I place her hands in my cheeks feeling her warmth for the last time.
"Look at me, Baby..."
I opened my eyes and looked at her...
She's smiling...
Mom...Why are you smiling...?
My heart tightened up even more...It hurts.
I don't want to lose you... Don't go, Mom...
"Mom?..."
"Hon!" My dad immediately walked towards us and also held mother's hand.
"I Love You, My Babies..."
She then closed her eyes after saying her last words.
All the people around us started crying, so is my dad, Riah, and Kei.
It happened so fast...
I stared at my mom's corpse and a few minutes later I decided to stand up.
Hmm...
She died and I can't even do anything about it.
I'm so useless!
I couldn't do anything while my mom is dying right infront of me...
I left the room taking Riah and Kei with me...
Thank you guys...
I have to get stronger fast...
