Chapter 67

Lying on the ground, despite Denise’s efforts to help me stand, I was unable to rise. I even sensed that death was nearing; I truly lacked the strength to continue holding on.

I wanted to tell Denise that I didn’t wish to die, but I was weak and had no strength left to utter a single word.

As my awareness dimmed, I felt a force gradually lifting me until I passed out.

Upon regaining consciousness, the scent of disinfectant greeted me. I didn’t want to open my eyes, and I was trembling.

again.”

Carlie was my mother’s closest friend. When I was young, I often shopped with her and my mom. Now, I was an orphan.

Upon hearing my words, Carlie tearfully patted my back, her voice somewhat choked, “My heart breaks to hear you say that. If your mom were still alive, how could she bear to see you suffer like this? No matter what happens, you can always come to me, and I will do my best to help you.
