The nurse looked at me and shook her head nervously. “I’m just delivering blood. I don’t know.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then she ran away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I began to suspect that there was something wrong with grandma’s operation! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood at the door and dared not to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
About eight hours later, the sun outside the window was about to set. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Finally, the light in the operating room went out. Sherry was pushed out when the door opened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Grandma!” I ran quickly! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry was lying on her back with her eyes closed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dave came out. Although there was no blood on his clothes, there seemed to be blood on his face and hair! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Dave, how’s my grandma’s operation? Is it successful?” I asked nervously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dave looked at me and said wearily, “she’s old, so there’s a little problem with the operation, but it’s solved. The operation is successful.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“When can my grandma wake up?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Dave seemed to be hiding something from me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“She has lost too much blood before, so she may be in a coma for a short time. I don’t know when she will wake up. It depends on her.” Dave bowed to me and left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The nurse pushed Sherry away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I followed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sherry was transferred to the ICU ward. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this time, Marlin and Jessica came. They kept asking the nurse, “how is my mother?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The nurse told them what had happened just now. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“What? How do you operate!” Jessica said angrily, “you said you invited us the best surgeon. Why is something wrong now?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Enough!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin was serious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Jessica said, “she’s our mother! We must fight a lawsuit!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The nurse said, “wait a minute.” Then she left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Here came Dave. I saw that he was tired. He could hardly lift his feet when he walked. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He explained to Jessica and Marlin what happened in the operating room. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin understood, but Jessica still made trouble, “you’re not good at surgery! I found out on the Internet that the stent is a minor operation. You must have done wrong!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then she began to stand at the door of the ward and cry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The medical staff came and went looking at her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood behind her and suddenly felt a little angry. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jessica knew that Sherry would have an accident this time, but she was pretending to be sad and crying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Marlin didn’t look sad. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They were there so I was ready to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I pressed the button of the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the elevator door opened, there were two people standing inside. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly and Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They were standing side by side, but Molly grabbed Sean’s arm the moment she saw me. She was close to Sean’s body and said, “Hi, June.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They went out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t speak and walked into the elevator and pressed the close button. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The elevator descended slowly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was a little heartbroken. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
That day on the rooftop, I begged Sean to marry Molly. I had been thinking about that. I couldn’t forget his expression when he looked down to wipe my tears. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was like two people in love were forced to break up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If only he loved me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When the elevator door opened again, I went out. I hit a broad chest. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He held me with open arms. I could hear his rapid breath and strong heartbeat. There seemed to be a faint smell of sweat. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next second I heard him say, “June, I miss you so much.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I missed you, too. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But I couldn’t say that. I knew I couldn’t. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Because I asked him to marry Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I felt his embrace. My heart beat with the rhythm of his heart. I repressed my inner excitement. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After a long time I asked him, “did you run down?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” Sean was holding me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was only wearing a thin shirt. My face was against his chest. I could even feel his temperature. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The elevator door next to me opened. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I turned and saw Molly coming out of it. When she saw Sean holding me, her eyes were full of envy. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But soon the jealousy and anger in her eyes turned into tears. She said, “June, why…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean heard her voice. He let me go and stood in front of me. He said to Molly, “Molly, I hope you understand that there are things you can’t force. I can give you money. I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No!” Molly shouted. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her words attracted the attention of the people around her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In Sacred Heart Hospital, there were many people who didn’t know her and me but few people who didn’t know Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Molly’s rape was posted online so many people knew her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly pointed to me and said, “she asked you to marry me. You promised. But now why do you regret? Why are you lying to me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She sat on the ground in despair. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her tears were growing. She looked pitiful. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A middle-aged aunt came up to Molly and said to Sean, “Mr. Jessop, I know you. I know what happened to this girl. She was forced! How can you break up with her because of this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
People around agreed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly heard someone help her. Instead of thanking her, she took the middle-aged aunt’s hand and said, “please don’t blame him. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t go out at night. I shouldn’t be caught. I should have killed myself. I shouldn’t live in this world.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She began to cry again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly was smart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She blamed herself. Everyone around said, “what a nice girl! You should cherish her!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Of course, I was scolded, “are you her twin sister? Why do you seduce your sister’s boyfriend? You’re shameless!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes! Now girls can do anything for money.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Everyone accused me and Sean and sympathized with Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Molly was smug. She was afraid Sean would be embarrassed, so she immediately stood up and said, “it’s my fault. I’m going to see grandma.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, she went into the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
