"My mother gave it to me before the accident happened." With her hands pointed to the toy, Loria said.
What?
Instantly, Sharon's eyes widened.
"I remember there was once where my mother seemed a little absent-minded when she returned from the hospital. I tried to ask her what happened, but she didn't want to tell me. That night, at dinner, she gave me this and told me to keep it safe in case she wanted it back in the future, then I can return it to her."
After Loria said that, she paused for a moment then continued, "A few days later, my mother was involved in a car accident, and then she fell into a coma. I've been keeping this thing till now, but I didn't know what it was."
At that moment, Sharon grasped the thing tightly in her hand, and she felt her that heart was racing.
"It looks like a small toy, but it's actually not." While Loria pointed at the thing, she explained, "This toy has a tiny storage space in it, and there's a memory card inside. It should be the memory card from my mother's phone, but I don't know what's in the memory card."
"I think this memory card must have something to do with my mother's job. Miss Cruz, I shall pass this thing to you today. If you want to have a look at what's inside, you may go ahead and check it out. Once you're done with it, if you think it's useless, you can throw it away."
In the end, Loria sighed. "After all, this is the last thing left by my mother before she fell into a coma. I did not have the heart to throw it away, but its presence always worried me. Today, I shall pass it to you so that you can help me to deal with this matter."
When Sharon came out of the hospital, Loria's words were still ringing in her head. As she looked downward at the things she had in her hand, she also had the same doubt in her heart.
That's right, what would be stored in the memory card?
The memory card must be extremely important. Otherwise, why would Hazel ask Loria to keep it?
Immediately, Sharon came to a quiet corner, found a chair, and took a seat. Then, she inserted the memory card into her own phone.
When she found the location of the memory card and opened it, there was only a folder.
With a frown, Sharon hesitated for a while. After all, this stuff belongs to Hazel, and it's her privacy...
In the end, Sharon still opened the folder. Perhaps she was curious, or maybe she had an intuition, but the moment she opened the video in the folder, her body suddenly stiffened.
S-Shawn?
Yes, indeed, the person in the video was Shawn, and... her father.
It was a blurry scene taken by Hazel's phone from four years ago, but she could clearly see who it was and where it was taken.
It was in the hospital.
As for Shawn, he was standing in front of her father's bed, as he bent over and slowly pulled out the tube on her father's body!
Without hesitation, just like that, he cruelly removed the medical equipment from her father's body.
At the sight of this, Sharon couldn't hold back her tears from streaming down as she hissed in grief and indignation, "No!"
Tightly, she held the phone, and her strength was so powerful that she almost wanted to crush the phone.
However, her eyes widened and turned red as she watched her father's body in the video began to convulse like a fish that was washed to the shore without water when the tubes were removed from his body. At that moment, she could no longer control her emotions.
"Dad!"
