It's not a dream

"We did everything we can, and although the patient was rushed in here immediately, her brain was severely hemorrhaging. Her body had survived other fatal injuries, but... the patient will most likely be brain dead." The doctor relayed the news with a heavy heart, glancing at them apologetically. "I'm sorry, Mister Qin."

Lewis staggered back while holding his head. The doctor's words repeated in his mind like a broken record until his thoughts went blank.

"No way..." Bella gasped in disbelief, taking a step forward to the doctor. She clutched his scrub without care, shaking her head stubbornly. 

"She can't be dead. No, why... aren't you the best doctors in the country? Isn't this hospital the best? How can you say she's brain dead? That's just another word for she's dead!"

The doctor frowned, but Bella's questions did not offend him. He understood the grief of the patient's family and friends, and relaying this news was something he wouldn't get used to.
