Chapter 1164


    Arabe''s movements finally came to a halt, and the actions of all the doctors in the room followed suit.


    All the medical equipment indicated that the patient hadpletely lost vital signs. There was no hope


    left.


    Arabe nced at the clock on the wall, and solemnly announced, "Time of death, December 28, 7:23


    p.m."


    The doctors and nurses in the operating room all bowed their heads in silence, bidding the patient their


    final farewell in this manner.


    Scenes from the past kept reying in Arabe''s mind.


    “Arabe, I heard you just moved back home. How are you settling in?"


    “I heard you used to live in Summerfield too. It''s been ages since Ist visited. Shall we go for a


    shopping spree sometime?"


    "Let''s go to the Cave Diner!"


    “Do you mind if I chat with you on WhatsApp?"


    Crystal''s voice andughter were still lingering in her mind.


    Tears welled up in Arabe''s eyes as she pulled the tubes out of the girl an the bed, covered her with a


    white sheet, and said in a hoarse voice, “Take her out."


    The movements of all the doctors and nurses were silent, but the unseen sadness was overwhelming.


    When the door opened, Celeste saw her daughter covered with a white sheet. She was hit with a wave


    of grief, tears streaming down her face.


    Alger couldn''t believe his eyes until the gurney was pushed in front of him. He trembled as he slowly


    lifted the sheet.


    The girl''s face was pale, lying peacefully on the gurney, motionless.


    Alger''s hand trembled as he ced his finger under his daughter''s nose. There was no breath. He


    moved his hand to her neck. There was no pulse.


    One moment she was talking to him, the next she was gone.


    "Crystal!" Alger broke down, throwing himself onto the sheet, crying his heart out.


    "How could you just leave us like this? How could you bear to abandon your parents? How is your


    mother going to live without you?" Celeste clung to her daughter''s body, crying uncontrobly.


    Keh and Louisa were heartbroken. They couldn''t believe that such a lively, bright, and intelligent


    girl was suddenly gone. Their tears flowed uncontrobly.


    rk, standing to the side, had red-rimmed eyes. Tears rolled down his cheeks.


    In his mind, he kept seeing Crystal''s brilliant smile and hearing her cheerful voice.


    "rk, what have you been up totely?"


    “Lunderstand a girl''s mind better. Next time you guys go out, take me with you. I promise to make your


    sister happy."


    “Your mom bought me lots of beautiful clothes, I''m so happy."


    "rk, did I say something wrong to upset you? I''m sorry"


    rk''s shoulders shook as he looked at the girl lying on the gurney. He remembered the cold morning


    when she came to see him with breakfast.

    “know Carol is in your heart, and I know you''ll never like anyone else in this lifetime. I''m just clinging to


    the hope that I could maybe change your mind. I do like you. I used the excuse of being ‘bros’ to get


    close to you.


    Now that you two are back together, I sincerely wish you happiness. Even though I can''t be your


    girlfriend, and I can''t get over you quickly. Just knowing that she''s back and your smile will be even


    brighter than before, that alone satisfies me."


    "rk, as long as you''re happy, it doesn''t matter who you''re dating, even if it''s not me. Although, it


    does hurt a little"
