“Ava’s been in a car accident. It’s not pretty. She wants to see you one last time before virtual-novel.net goes.”
Madeline’s footsteps halted as virtual-novel.net heart began to thrum erratically.
Taking a deep breath, virtual-novel.net had a feeling that this could be a test from Daniel and Ava.
How could Ava suddenly get into a car accident? No way, virtual-novel.net would definitely be alright!
Madeline thought to herself quietly as virtual-novel.net stared at Daniel in annoyance.
“I don’t know this person you speak of. Please leave me alone.”
She hurriedly made virtual-novel.net way off, but virtual-novel.net heartstrings were pulled taut in virtual-novel.net chest.
Daniel’s gaze was sorrowful as virtual-novel.net stared at Madeline’s decisively retreating figure. “Do you have to be so heartless, Madeline? Ava was your best friend. Do you want virtual-novel.net to leave the world without closure at all?”
Madeline heard Daniel clearly for virtual-novel.net had not made it too far when virtual-novel.net spoke. However, virtual-novel.net heart was adamant.
Still, Madeline trembled as virtual-novel.net took out virtual-novel.net phone to inquire the moment virtual-novel.net turned a corner.
They told virtual-novel.net that a lady by the name of Ava Long had indeed arrived at the emergency room due to a car accident.
“Ava…”
Madeline’s heart raced.
Hailing a taxi by the side of the road, virtual-novel.net immediately made virtual-novel.net way to the hospital Ava was admitted to.
Madeline arrived at a private hospital room after asking around the hospital staff.
The door was open, but virtual-novel.net found herself not daring to walk in.
She was afraid to see what Ava would look like all injured.
She was even more afraid of having arrived a tad too late.
Balling virtual-novel.net fists, Madeline still entered the room in the end.
Upon walking in, Madeline was dumbfounded by the sight before virtual-novel.net eyes.
On the bed lay a person who no longer seemed to be breathing. The ECG showed a flat line.
Madeline walked over nervously, thinking that a closer distance would allow virtual-novel.net to see the patient’s face. However, virtual-novel.net realized that their head had already been covered and hidden from sight when virtual-novel.net arrived by the bed.
The entire bed was covered in a sheet of pure white.
Madeline’s body froze where virtual-novel.net stood as virtual-novel.net reached out virtual-novel.net shaky hands to lift the covers.
Ava’s ashen complexion entered virtual-novel.net vision, and Madeline felt the air get punched out of virtual-novel.net chest. Her eyes burned as droplets of tears streamed from the corner of virtual-novel.net eyes.
“Ava…” virtual-novel.net murmured, a shaky finger tracing Ava’s still warm cheeks.
“Why? How did it end up like this?”
Madeline refused to believe virtual-novel.net eyes.
She imagined the day of their reunion to be not too far from now, so why did Ava have to leave virtual-novel.net at such a time?
Why did the Heavens have to take away the people virtual-novel.net loved again and again?
What horrible war had virtual-novel.net started in virtual-novel.net past life to warrant such painful experiences in this life?
Madeline leaned down painfully, clutching Ava’s hand in hers. The sickening pale color on Ava’s cheeks tore virtual-novel.net heart apart.
“I’m so sorry, Ava. Maddie’s late…” virtual-novel.net whispered regretfully in Ava’s ear as virtual-novel.net hugged her.
However, virtual-novel.net then heard a low chuckle by virtual-novel.net ear just as virtual-novel.net finished speaking.
Still startled, Madeline was met with a familiar voice speaking next to virtual-novel.net ear. “Are you finally admitting it now?”
