Chapter 6

When I regained consciousness, I found myself in a hospital.

The stark white room made my eyes ache.

Caelan was by my bedside. Seeing me awake, he anxiously asked:

"How are you feeling? Is there anything bothering you?"

I opened my mouth, but my throat was parched.

Shortly after, the doctor examined me. With a grave expression, he said:

"Mr. Stratton, your body is no longer suitable for an artificial heart."

"If we can't find a matching heart within three months, your life will be in danger."

I was suddenly speechless, and Caelan's eyes welled up with tears again.

The chances of finding a suitable heart within three months were incredibly slim.

This essentially meant I only had three months left to live.

Perhaps fate had foreseen this ending, allowing me to reunite with Felicity before my impending death.

I was surprisingly calm. Looking at Caelan, I suddenly smiled.

"Why are you crying? I still have three months to live."
