Lilly’s lips curled up in a playful smile. “I just didn’t want to bother you, so I always meet up with Jace at school.”
Tiffany let out a warm laugh.
Just then, Dr. Inge appeared at the door, and Lilly excused herself to step out with him.
In the director’s office, Dr. Inge handed Lilly a folder. “Miss, here are the test results.”
Lilly’s voice was tight with worry. “How is it?”
Dr. Inge shook his head slowly. “The patient is in the final stage of cancer.”
Lilly felt like the world had stopped. “Final stage? Are you sure there’s no mistake? She has always been so healthy.”
“There’s no mistake. She’s probably known about the cancer for years. She didn’t get treatment or tell anyone. Now it’s spread to her heart and brain. She has about two months left.”
Lilly dropped into a chair, her mind spinning. Two months. That was all Tiffany had.
Why hadn’t she said anything? Why didn’t she try to fight it?
Jace and Victoria didn’t know a thing.
…
In Tiffany’s hospital room, Victoria and their neighbor Tina sat close by her bed. Victoria poured a glass of water and held it out. “Mom, have some water.”
Tiffany leaned back on her pillow, took a sip, and smiled at their neighbor. “Tina, thank you so much for everything you’ve done.”
