Yvonne Young wanted to slam the microphone and walk away. She was not supposed to be emotional; her only goal was to treat Yolanda's illness and save Yolanda's life.
The prelude was already playing. Yvonne Young took a deep breath and began singing to the rhythm. She sang this song for her father on his fiftieth birthday. That was the year she and Spencer Sullivan got married.
Back then, Spencer Sullivan also sat at Table No. 1, just like he was doing now, with her father sitting next to him. Hearing her voice, her father's eyes squeezed shut in happiness.
He could not have been prouder of his daughter.
As she sang, memories flooded back and, she was washed in tears. Her voice choked with sobbing as she sang. Defying all odds, she carried on to the end of the song, gasping for breath and turning her back to the audience.
Her organs were aching. She knew Spencer Sullivan had achieved his goal.
"Oh, my god!"
