At that moment, Victor slowly opened his eyes, and his lifeless gaze met Cecilia A single tear fell silently from his eye. Ollie walked over and patted Cecilia’s shoulders.
The next second, the heart monitor a rhythm became erratic, and the machine i started beeping incessantly. The room was instantly filled with a suffocating atmosphere until the piercing alarm stopped, and the motator showed a flat line.
