Chapter( Hundred) Two: Overshadowed

" I am truly sorry for your loss."

Leo's heart squeezed painfully on hearing those words from the doctor's mouth. No, it couldn't be true. This couldn't be happening. Amelia couldn't be dead, she would never leave him. She always said it herself so what was this man saying?

It felt like he was just tossed off a cliff and got stroked by lightning on his way to the rocky ground. Just an hour ago he was having fun and playing with Amelia and now she's gone?

Leo stood paralyzed, his feet like blocks of lead as his eyes stayed fixed on the room Amelia was taken into, hoping that she would burst through the door, giggling as she always did. Praying that the doctor made a mistake.

His greatest fear, the cruelest fact, dawned on him when his mother's wailing sounded in his ears, bringing him out of his shock-induced coma.

His sister was gone.
