Meeting him for the last time?
After being led by the nurse to the emergency room, Quill suddenly heard this sentence. He almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the nurse supported him.
However, at this very moment, the only thing that remained in his mind were the words the doctor had said to his mother.
Invite his family to go in and meet the patient for the last time.
The last time. Meet him for the last time...
The nurse obviously heard this sentence as well. She subconsciously looked at the little fellow next to her and she squatted down, "Kid, you..."
She wanted to say that he should not be too sad, but he just lost his father. How was she supposed to say that? How could he not be sad?
For a while, she didn't know what to say. In fact, she had seen many such scenes in the hospital. Each time she thought that she was getting used to it, yet she still could not help but feel sad watching someone lose their loved one.
The people who left didn't know anything, leaving behind people who were alive, feeling sad and lonely.
Quill stood in the same spot. After a long while, he lifted his feet and walked towards his mother.
Phoebe seemed to be frightened, or perhaps she was unable to accept the fact. She did not come to her senses for a long time until a voice came from her side.
"Mom."
Only then did Phoebe come to her senses. She kept her usual expression and lowered her head. When she saw her son standing in front of her, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Q-Quill."
As soon as she spoke, she realized that her voice was extremely choked, and her tears couldn't stop flowing, but she realized that she was his mother. She couldn't behave like this, so she could only turn around to wipe away her tears. When she turned around to face him again, she had forced a smile onto her face, but it was a horrible smile.
Quill was really upset seeing his mother like this.
"Why are you here?" Phoebe squatted down and touched his face with a smile. "Your dad is in there. Mom will take you in. Let's go in and talk to him, okay?"
He bit his lower lip and did not say anything.
"Be obedient, Quill. I'm sure he wants to hear your voice. Don't cry when we get there."
In the end, she took her son's hand and went in to see his father for the last time.
For Quill, he would never forget this day for the rest of his life. This was also the past that he had never been able to walk out of.
He couldn't see the light, nor the ray of hope.
Especially on his own birthday. He did not want to remember when he was born and what he did that day.
For a long time, his father's death in that fire would occasionally appear in his dreams. When he woke up, cold sweat permeated his shirt, and the past scenes continued to reappear in his dream. Even if he woke up, they would corrode his brain and devour his hope.
"Vivy..." In the chaos, Quill called out Vera's name in a low voice. The flames in front of him gradually formed the shape of her, and then his father again who sacrificed himself to save him.
No, no, he could not repeat the mistakes he made in the past.
His consciousness gradually came back. In the past, he failed to save his father and he regretted it for the rest of his life. Now, he could no longer make the same mistake as he did in the past.
If anything happened to Vera because of him, he would never forgive himself.
The most important thing was that he couldn't let anything happen to her.
He gave up all distractions and continued searching.
Vera hid in a corner of the hotel room. The water in the bathroom was running, but the water was not enough. The fire was so fierce that it couldn't be put out.
