MainNovelAt that very moment, a sharp pain pierced her. But soon, indifference settled back over her.
Compared to Maureen's death, soothing Stuart mattered more to her.
Gareth rushed to the nearest hospital.
Maureen was soon wheeled into the OR.
The illuminating light above the door left him utterly anxious, his heart pounding.
An hour later, a doctor suddenly pushed the door open. “The patient's in a critical condition. Where are her
family members?”
Gareth’s heart sank.
“What ... happened?”
“Are you a family member of the patient? Sign the critical condition notice. I'm afraid the patient may not make
it...” the doctor said.
A wave of desperation caught Gareth.
His usual gentleness vanished as he grabbed the doctor's collar, roaring, “She has to make it! If she dies, | swear
I'll make sure every one of you dies with her!”

He kept calling Maureen “the deaf girl” with such contempt.
Geoffrey listened silently. His eyes darkened, and yet he didn’t stop Sean.

Mau- reen well.
Sean received a call and left in a hurry.
Geoffrey picked up his cellphone subconsciously. Maureen hadn't called once.
Geoffrey redialed her number. And again, it was the cold, mechanical reply.
“Sorry, the person you're trying to reach is unavailable. Please try again later...”
Vexed, he tossed his phone aside.
He walked to the picture window and lit a cigarette.
At midnight, he remembered Maureen's words. She said she was regretful.
A bitterness rose at Geoffrey's throat. He coughed violently.
A female voice cfrom behind him, “Geoffrey, you should quit smoking. It's bad for your health.”
