A Nightmare Turns Into A Sweet Dream

Day Sixty-Eight…

~~*****~~

Abigail's mind went blank and her body froze. Her brain refused to accept what the doctor had just said. 'Failed to save him…?'

The doctor couldn't look at her. A hint of guilt washed over him when he saw her devastated look. He didn't know what to do to comfort her.

"W-What did you say?" Abigail had to hold the edge of the bed to support herself. She couldn't collapse at this moment.

"I'm sorry…" He could only utter those words while lowering his head. 

"H-He was just fine yesterday. I thought he was recovering well. This can't happen," Abigail's voice cracked and her legs trembled. Her world seemed to stop revolving at this moment.

The doctor hesitated for a moment. "He has internal bleeding. It was too late when we found out."
