"No, Roger, he's not cured and coming home; he's beyond help and has come home to die. So... I don't know if he can see it."
After the fat man said this, Roger and Stevie Smith both froze in their chairs.
Then, there was a long silence.
To welcome the boy home, his family had filled the house with balloons, cake, and various decorations.
But in the face of the cold, harsh reality, all of it seemed to lack warmth.
At that moment, the shout of the boy's aunt broke the silence: "Hey, Andy's ambulance is here!"
The fat man stood up and opened the door to the boy's room: "Roger, Steve, thank you for your efforts."
The boy came home with the support of his mother, and although his whole family greeted him with smiles, his face was like still water, devoid of life.
He was 12 years old and was not ignorant of everything.
He knew what he was about to face.
At this moment, Roger and Stevie Smith hidden in the boy's room were both attracted by the room's decoration.
