HELENA'S VICTORY

Alice's face was already pale with beads of cold sweat dripping down her face and body mixed with blood.

"Shine, from now on you must be a brave child, a strong child, and not afraid of anything! Cry as hard as you can if you want to cry. Speak clearly if you want something. Tell everyone that you are my great son! You can do that for me, right, boy? You want to promise me?" Alice spoke at length to her son.

"Yes, I promise you, Mom!" Shine answered slowly.

"And one more thing, son. Listen to little Daddy and Uncle when I'm not around. Don't refuse to eat and pass out again! As much as possible just say what you want, just say it to Daddy and Uncle Troy, okay!" Alice added her message again.

"Okay… But, where do you want to go, Mom?" Shine asked confused.

"I'm sick, son. I just want to sleep and rest, honey. I'm not going anywhere…" Alice replied in a weaker voice.
