217 Veronica is dying? (1/2)
Veronica open her heavy eyelids and didn't know what time it is or what day it is. She just wanted to die quickly. Tony hasn't been with her for days now. Seven days? She check her phone. His laptop is not there anymore. She sigh with a heavy heart and try to sit up. But she couldn't. Her whole body is collapsing. She can't take the pain anymore.
Tony is happy now. That's what she thought. He's already planning a wedding with Vivien. Playing how happy Tony was with Vivien on their wedding makes her heart ache yet she has to be happy because Tony is happy. That's the only way for him not to be tied up with her. She didn't want to be selfish at all. Is it seven days? She check it again. It's not seven days but ten days already. There's four more days to live.
The door opens and Catriona enter. She just gave birth and why is she here?
”Cat, why are you here?” She asked as she reach the glass of water.
”Can't I visit you?”
”But you just gave birth!” She scowl.
”V… this will be over soon. Okay? I am here.”
”Just go to the triplets.” She said and put the glass away but it didn't reach the table and it falls on the floor.
”Are you okay?” Catriona asked.
”I am…” She mutter. Whiskey came up and lead Catriona to the sofa. He then clean up the glass and put a tumbler instead.
”Where's Tony?” Catriona asked. Veronica smile bitterly.
”He's probably preparing for their wedding and maybe making love with her.”
Whiskey stopped. Veronica didn't know where Tony is right now. He didn't want to tell her because it will hurt her. She let go of Tony yet Tony can't let her go. Now he understand what real love is. Tony would do anything for Veronica.
”You let go so easily.”
”I am not asking for cure anymore.” Veronica close her eyes. ”I'm tired.”
”Stop saying that. Don't fail Sabrina. She's still adjusting. Besides, my triplets needs you and I am getting married.”
Veronica smile. She can see the ruby diamond on her left hand finger. Then she's satisfied. She can die happy now. She won't worry about Sabrina because she's protected by Gabby.
”Cat…” She remove her ring. ”Please give this ring back to Tony.” She put it on the side table. ”I'll sleep now.”
”You just woke up.” She said.
”I can't even go out from here…” She murmur. Veronica is dying slowly. Whiskey left the room and call Tony.
”Where's the damn cure?” He scowl. ”Tony—I love Veronica… and I allowed her be with you because she's happy. Please… the cure.”
”You don't have to scowl me.” Tony hang up.

Tony almost smash everything after Whiskey called. He has no time right now. He hasn't shave or sleep… he even smell bad. He eat rarely. Samantha and him are doing everything to get the cure. Gabriel call him and he answer it.
”What else do you need?” He asked. Tony starts telling him the ingredient he needed for the cure that they are making and then he stop when Samantha call him.
”Tony… I—I just took the sample you made.” Samantha said and she met his eyes.

Gabriel was pacing back and forth. Sabrina was watching him while she's playing a video game.
