"Ma," Derek sat next to his mother. Amy was unconscious. He looked pale. Taaliyah, Uncle Tim, and Min Ah left him alone, taking Milan along with them.
Derek was pretty shook. He did not expect his mother to fall sick. He always kept his distance that he wasted a lot of time he could have spent with his mother. He was taking his own time to slowly adjust to everything. But he took time for granted. Now that they have almost run out of it and he regrets it.
The doctor has said something serious. "She is fine for now, but her heart as weakened. We cannot assure how long, but the sickness affects the heart slowly, it already has.." the doctor said. That's when Derek also noticed how the constant joint pains and arthritis had changed the shape of her fingers. He touched his mother's fingers and teared up. He leaned his head.
Amy woke up. She saw her son beside her. She touched his hair stroked them. "What are you doing here?" She asked.
