    Theodore reached out to steady her, only letting go once she was okay.


    The heart monitor beeped every now and then. Vanessa covered her face, sobbing, "I thought she''d be around longer, that she''d see me get married, have kids, teach them to write like she taught me. I thought we''d grow old together." Theodore just looked down, staying quiet.


    Life could be so fragile, gone in the blink of an eye, leaving those left behind with endless regrets. Vanessa choked up, "If I had known, I wouldn''t have been so stubborn. I wouldn''t have gone to Nyxonia, and I wouldn''t have stayed away for three years."


    "Vanessa," Theodore said, "Yesterday''s gone. No matter how much you me yourself, it won''t change anything. Cherish the time you have left with Sophia, and don''t upset her anymore." Vanessa looked at him through her tears. "Theodore, can you help me take care of my mom?"


    Theodore frowned, his usually distant look getting even colder. "The hospital has doctors and nurses. They''ll take good care of Sophia."
