No. She can't have died!
“Please save her. You must have some way, right?” he pleaded as he grabbed onto the doctor's arm tightly.
“Sir, we've tried our best. I'm sorry.” As soon as the doctor was done, he left the room.
Turning around to hug the person on the bed, Jake shouted, ’’Faye, can you please open your eyes and look at me?”
The others in the hospital could only sigh when they saw that scene.
“That young lady's really pitiful. She's gone at such a young age.” “Yeah, it's really too bad.” Several family members of the other patients talked amongst themselves, feeling regretful as they looked at Jake's painful expression.
“What did you say? Faye got into an accident?” Joan asked loudly, immediately standing up.
“Yeah. We just found out about it too,” an employee said.
“We should...” Before the employee could finish speaking, Joan had picked up her phone and ran out of the office.
No wonder Faye didn't get to the cafe. She got in an accident on the way!
“I'll go there with you, Ms. Watts!” shouted an employee from behind her.
“It's fine, I can go by myself!” Just like that, she disappeared from the studio.
Perhaps because the weather had suddenly gotten colder, there were more patients in the hospital than usual. As soon as Joan reached the hospital, she hurriedly ran to the receptionist, out of breath and looking very anxious.
“Which ward is Faye in?” she asked.
The receptionist looked as if she wanted to say something but eventually did not. Without speaking, she pointed toward a ward far away in the corner.
“Faye!” shouted Joan as she pushed the doors open.
However, she was met with the sight of Jake kneeling on the ground, holding the hand of the person on the bed. His face was covered in tears, looking haggard and in pain.
What happened? Why's he crying? She slowly walked over, looking solemnly at Faye, who was lying on the bed.
Eventually, she mustered up the courage to place her index finger below Faye's nostril.
She was instantly shocked.
