Heinrich walked out of the room with a troubled expression which he quickly diminished as soon as he saw Karoline waiting outside eagerly. He didn't know what expression to put on himself. So, he just walked towards Karoline and gently hugged her, slowly patting the back of her head.
Karoline broke into tears, knowing exactly why she was being hugged.

Heinrich cried out, "You did well, Karoline. It is okay."
Karoline buried her head in Heinrich's shoulder and wept out, knowing her husband's time was near. The only father figure she had at the moment was Heinrich, and being aware of this fact, Heinrich didn't want to leave her forgotten.
"Can I see him?" Karoline pushed her face from his shoulder and asked him with utmost sorrow.
Heinrich frowned wistfully, "I-" He tried to speak but his voice failed him, "I want you to." He said, "But,"
