She explained to her grandmother that Mitchel couldn’t come back for the time
being.
Raegan could tell that her grandmother was disappointed at this. But then, her
grandmother still comforted her, saying that Mitchel’s work was more important
than their appointment.
But Raegan still felt disheartened seeing her grandmother wearing this new
outfit. Suddenly, an idea occurred to her.
“Grandma, how about we go back to your house and stay there for one night?”
She knew that her grandmother had been thinking about going back to her
house.
Her grandmother looked at her with surprise.
“Really? Will the doctor agree?”
“Don’t worry. I will talk to the doctor.”
Raegan then walked out of the ward and headed for the doctor's office.
The doctor looked through her grandmother’s medical records first.
Then he said seriously, “You'd better be prepared for the worst.”
Raegan’s heart sank to the bottom when she heard these words.
The doctor said, “The latest report shows that the patient's in a frail condition.
She might pass away at any moment. It's no longer necessary for her to stay in
the hospital. You might as well take her home and grant her final wishes.”
Raegan walked out of the doctor's office in a trance.

Her steps were unsteady, and her strength drained, forcing her to find a bench to
collapse onto.
Kendra, a caring nursing worker, spotted Raegan in the corridor. She rushed over
after seeing the pallor on Raegan’s once-pretty face and asked with concern,
“Miss Hayes, what's happened?”
Unable to find her voice, Raegan fumbled for her phone. Her trembling hand
made it difficult to press the necessary buttons.
With a trembling voice, she implored Kendra, “Kendra, please help me make a
call. Press the number one button.”
The number one button on Raegan’s phone was Linked to Mitchel's number.
Kendra was startled by Raegan’s expression but took the phone, doing as
instructed. She dialed the number, but there was no answer.
Kendra tried again, still to no avail. Glancing at Raegan, Kendra asked quietly,
“Should I try one more time?”
“Yes, keep calling until he picks up.”
Raegan’s resolve remained unshaken.
In her vulnerability, Raegan yearned for Mitchel to provide the strength she
desperately needed. More importantly, she hoped he could help fulfill her
grandmothers final wishes.
