The apprentice

The quiet room bugged the woman entirely.

"Be it incurable or not, at least, I have one month left. That's more than enough. It's better than staying in the hospital for three months and dying slowly" To break the silence, L lifted the atmosphere. Her lighthearted behavior was admirable in Caleb's sight.

Despite the short time and pain she would be going through, she remained mentally strong. "Thank you. We will be sure to take care of her" Caleb had made up his mind. Even Finn did not protest. The two men bought the lie at last. "You found amazing friends"

Doctor smiled at L.  "Mhm hm. Oh, and what about the body donation we talked about? Can I fill the form now?" The woman's question stunned Caleb and Finn. The form she mentioned was body donation?! She did not sound anxious about her death at all.
