The Unfairness Of Life

Dr. Phillips told Mason to go back to Dionne's room because he has to take a round and see his patients. Though Mason could tell that Dr. Phillips was telling the truth, he could also tell that he was giving him time to be alone with Dionne…to talk to her. 

Mason doesn't know how long he was standing outside Dionne's hospital room. He didn't even know how he got there. He walked and moved unknowingly but he was in a trance. He was staring blankly ahead of him. 

He asked Dr. Phillips what is wrong with Dionne…he had expected to hear that she was sick because it was too obvious since she is in the hospital. But he didn't expect to hear worse. 

Dr. Phillips told him about Dionne's sickness. It seems like Dionne got the same illness as her mother. Dionne suspected that she got the same illness but didn't tell anybody until her father heard from one of his colleagues that he saw Dionne enter a clinic for a check-up.
