58 The Pain Unbearable (2/2)

She cleaned her eyes and stood up quickly to follow the doctor.

”How is she?”

Liling asked worriedly as they walked towards an office. She was really worried, she didn't need another sick parent at the moment.

”Let's go in first... ”

The doctor's professional voice rang out. He opened the office and led her in.

Liling felt the air around them tense, she felt something was wrong but she couldn't point it out.

The doctor say across her and heaved a sigh, before starting his speech.

”Miss, in everything you do in life, you have to keep to heart that people are bound to leave you, people come and people go.

There's something that is inevitable, and that is death...”

'What was he saying?, How is he talking about death when mom just fell, obviously from a heart attack?, why is he preaching to me?'

Liling was confused as she listened to the doctor. Up until this point, he had not said what she wanted to hear.
