Sylvia smiled at Derek. She knew she was dying better than he did but she wanted to say the words she had kept in her heart. Maybe if she made this wish, a miracle would happen.
"I always had a wish in my heart." She said and coughed again. "I always wanted you to get married to me, have a lot of children with me and... and..." Tears brimmed down from her eyes but she kept smiling. "... We'll live happily ever after!" She smiled more brightly and that was when Derek knew he had to face reality.
"Stop talking!" He hugged her, squeezing her tightly to himself in hopes that she would just pass out and wake up in a few hours time.
"Derek!" She called with her little faint voice. "It's not your fault." She said and he looked at her face. She was smiling so sweetly.
Even if her entire body was covered in blood, her eyes were still pure and so was her smile.
