Thssa''s legs were limp as she sprinted through the hospital corridors, searching frantically for a doctor. When she finally
spotted one, she blurted out, "Excuse me! Have you seen ady brought in in emergency? Her name''s Evelyn Pendleton.”
"Are you her family?" the doctor inquired.
"I''m her daughter." Thssa replied, a tremor in her voice.
At the mention of her rtion, the doctor''s eyes dropped, his expression somber. "I''m sorry to tell you this, but the patient was
pronounced dead at the scene. She was brought here for... postmortem care. You can find her in the morgue.”
"What!" Thssa''s whole body shook violently, thest thread of hope within her snapping.
It felt like a thunderp had gone off in her head, leaving her so unsteady she could hardly stand.
"Thssa..." Lysander caught her as she nearly copsed, noting her ashen face and quivering lips. His heart also twisted
painfully.
He had sensed trouble but never imagined Evelyn had died in a car crash.
"Let me help you to the morgue,” Lysander said, his voice rough with emotion as he supported Thssa''s trembling frame.
Without his aid, she might have crumpled to the ground.
Biting her lip, Thssa followed Lysander toward the morgue in despair, each movement feeling like a descent into hell.
Upon arriving, they encountered the mortician, who was preparing Evelyn''s body.
Thssa saw her mother lying on the cold, hard b, her face under the harsh light, marred by blood not fully cleaned, the left
side of her skull caved in from the car crash.
Had the doctor not informed her beforehand, Thssa would have never recognized her own mother.
Evelyn was beyond recognition, a sight too gruesome to bear.
The moment Thssaid eyes on her, thest vestige of strength she had been clinging to evaporated, and grief engulfed her
like a tidal wave.
"Mom!" she cried out in agony, her heart quivering, breath short.
She reached out, wanting to touch her mother, but the sight of Evelyn''s disfigured face made her hesitate, fearing even the
slightest touch might cause her pain.
"Mom..." Thssa sobbed, her body going limp with sorrow and shock.
Lysander enveloped her with his broad chest, providing the support she desperately needed, his hands steadying her shoulders
to keep her upright.
"Mom, why? Why did this happen? Weren''t we supposed to stick together? Why..."
Overwhelmed by her grief, Thssa''s breath caught, her world went dark, and she fainted.
"Thssa!" Lysander eximed with concern, scooping her up and hurrying toward the hospital''s emergency wing.
