PAUL
It was only a year, but Elise thinned out. She had wrapped a scarf around her head to hide her baldness.
The moment the cancer began spreading through her body, I advised her to quit her job. She didn't resist.
It was breaking my heart to see her suffer like this. She was stuck in a wheelchair. The mere walking around the apartment easily tires her.
She refused to be confined inside the hospital.
By this time, Ellaine was well-aware of her mother's condition.
Elise tries her best to stay strong for our daughter's sake. She agreed to have chemotherapy.
They were whom I was thinking of. Nothing else mattered to me.
"Daddy?" hearing Ellaine's voice, I looked at her. She was already in her pajamas and was hugging her teddy bear.
"Do you want to hear a bedtime story?"
I watch her shake her head. She looked at me thoughtfully.
"What happens if mommy dies?"
