...Kati POV...
There is a knock at the door. I reluctantly leave Kati's side and rush to meet the doctor. I hardly greet him as he follows me to Kati's room. The tears are still streaming down his face, and my body trembles with every move I make. The only thing I am worried about is Kati. I want Kati to be okay. Kati has to be okay.
When we get to Kati's side, I manage to pull myself together to listen as the doctor speaks.
"You say she's got late-stage cancer? Why is she not in the hospital?"
"She does not want people to make a fuss about her in what could possibly be her last months."
"Understandable, she is a very brave girl. I guess the only thing that matters is what makes her happy in the end. It's still very risky and reckless, though. She will get the best care in the hospital."
"No hospitals. I promised her."
