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."
