"Don't say anything. The doctors said they could fix this." Yvette's voice was hoarse, and the tears started rolling down her face uncontrollably.

"Yeah." Viola forced out a smile and wanted to wipe the tears away. However, she couldn't lift her arm at all. Yvette noticed what Viola was trying to do and grabbed the latter's hand and put it on her face. "Viola..."

"There, there... Don't cry..."

Yvette's eyes were red as she said, "Yeah, I'm not crying. You'll be fine..."

Viola was clearly on her last breath as she looked out the window happily. "Yvvy... It's almost Christmas..."

Christmas was in a week. Yvette nodded. "Yeah, it's almost here."

"Let's go home. I don't want to be here..."

"Alright. Let's go home."

She reached out to carry Viola. The latter was so skinny that it felt like there were only bones inside her. Although Yvette was weak, she was able to pick Viola up without breaking a sweat.

She walked down the long hallway with Viola in her arms and spoke nonstop. She was afraid that Viola would suddenly pass away.

"We're going home now. Let's have some pierogies and celebrate Christmas together. I've also bought new clothes for everyone, and Noah and Zac are waiting to celebrate with you."

Viola was starting to lose her hearing, and her vision was getting blurrier. Yvette could tell that her breath was getting weaker and couldn't help calling out to her, "Mom, please don't leave us, alright? I'm begging you. You promised you would stay with me forever."

She had already treated Viola as her actual mother. In fact, Viola felt more like her mother than Yara. When Viola heard Yvette calling her "Mom", she forced out her last reply. "Sure."

As she said that, her hand fell off her chest and hung lifelessly.

It was the first time that Yvette noticed how long the hallway was. As she stood in the middle of the hallway and looked at the light outside, her heart ached.

"Mom? Mom..." Unfortunately, the person in her embrace couldn't hear her anymore.

When Xavier and the rest arrived in a hurry, Ray saw Yvette carrying Viola, who had passed away.

"Mom..." When Noah saw what happened, he figured out what was going on, and his eyes started to tear up as well.

Yvette just gently shot them a glance and softly said, "Viola is asleep now. Let's bring her home so that we can celebrate Christmas together."

She continued walking forward. After she got out of the hospital, she felt dizzy, and her vision went dark. Then, she fell into the snow with Viola. When Xavier heard the noise, he hurriedly approached her and held Yvette in his arms.

...

When Yvette opened her eyes again, she was already back home. She still couldn't believe that Viola was gone. After all, everything was still fine the previous day, and Viola even said she would stay by Yvette's side forever.

Noah and Xavier had kept Yvette company the whole time. When Noah saw her opening her eyes, he immediately said, "Mom, how are you feeling now?"

Yvette just stared at the ceiling in a daze and didn't say anything.

Xavier said to Noah, "Get out first."

"Why should be the one going out? Shouldn't you be the one leaving us?" Noah was upset. However, Xavier didn't waste his breath on the boy. Instead, he just grabbed Noah from behind and kicked him out of the room.

"Don't give us any trouble now," Xavier coldly said.

Noah was so shocked that he pursed his lips and didn't dare to say anything else.

Xavier locked the door from inside Then, he returned to Yvette's side and grabbed her hand. "Cry if you so you don't have to hold it in."

wantto. I can't see anyttent

She still didn't say anything. Then, Xavier got in bed and held her in his arms.
