Erica, totally oblivious, was always the last one to get to the morning sermon.
By the time she got to Larkin's room, it was empty.
On the floor, a large and a small pair of slippers were neatly lined up in front of Larkin's bed.
Erica let out a helpless laugh.
Just as she was about to say something, Larkin came up from behind her, gently wrapped his arms around her, then gradually tightened his grip, burying his head in the crook of her neck.
"What's up?" Erica gently patted his arm.
"I saw my teacher." Larkin's voice choked up, "He's in really bad shape, I can't save him."
Erica's heart skipped a beat.
Previously, a patient of Orval Carter came to Larkin for treatment.
Erica had heard Orval say before, "If Larkin says he can't cure him, then it's really hopeless."
Among the doctors at home, besides a few medical titans, Larkin's medical skills were the highest.
"I should have come back earlier, even if it was just three months earlier, I might have been able to save him!" Larkin continued.
Hearing this, Erica immediately became serious.
She gently pushed Larkin away, turned around, held Larkin's face with both hands, and looked at him earnestly, "Larkin, life and death can't be changed, it's not your fault."
Larkin's eyes were red, he looked incredibly sad.
"I don't want him to die."
Before, Larkin's life obsession was only one, which was saving Erica from drowning in the pool.
Then he decided to give up his identity as a monk, waiting every day in despair.
That was his only obsession in life until the night before.
Now, he had one more.
He knew life and death are predestined, but he still didn't want his teacher to die.
