She was covered in blood, and everything around her was continually dimming.
Patients around her threw strange glances, but she didn't have the time to care. All her attention was on Donna. She entered the elevator, and no one dared to join her.
She was covered in blood; why didn't she seek a doctor?
Where was she going?
Isaac followed closely but was kept at bay.
The elevator arrived, but Brittany could barely hold on. Leaning against the wall, she staggered towards the ICU.
The late-night corridor was so quiet, it was heartbreaking.
Brittany walked step by step, slow and heavy.
The security guard outside saw her coming and wanted to help, but Brittany avoided him.
Inside the ICU, it seemed clean.
The once operating equipment was now silent.
Brittany seemed to realize something. Her legs gave way, and tears flooded her face like a bursting dam. She clutched her chest and opened her mouth wide, but couldn't make a sound.
Her lips trembled as her vision was blurred by tears.
Through the open door, she saw the medical staff covering a body with a white sheet.
Her body was convulsing, her heart felt empty, and her frail body curled up like a shrimp.
Urgent footsteps echoed.
Isaac saw this scene and felt like his heart was brutally split open.
He was too late.
He watched as the medical staff wheeled Donna out. They looked at Brittany indifferently, murmuring comforting words.
Brittany was shaking all over, crawling on her knees, propping herself up to hold the already cold Donna. As if she had found her voice, she choked out, "Granny, I'm back."
"Granny..."
"Granny, please don't leave me."
"Granny, I won't leave anymore; look at me…"
Her voice grew fainter, but she refused to let go.
Isaac came over, pried her hand open, and held her in his arms. He heard his voice, so low that it was almost unrecognizable.
"Bri, Granny is gone. Let her rest in peace."
Brittany buried her face in his chest, crying her heart out.
