Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Goodbye

"I'm sorry, Mr. Phillips," said the doctor. "He may not last. We thought we'd got him out of danger, but we didn't." Du stared at the tired doctor.It's not the doctor's fault, he's done his best.But Du still couldn't calm down the anger in his heart. It was easy for him to break the doctor's thin neck. "what reason?" "It's caused by a variety of factors. I don't think he's going to be able to survive. To tell you the truth, he should have died the day he arrived at the hospital on Monday, but he managed to survive another two days. It's because of this We thought it was possible to bring him back to life, but he was seriously injured. I'm sorry, but I'll have to inform the wife if I can."

"No." Du interrupted him impatiently, and then said softly, "I'll tell her. I'm the partner of the deceased." "With all due respect, Mr. Phillips," said the doctor, "call me if you need any help." The doctor turned and left.Du stared at the floor, gathering courage.This isn't the first time he's lost a partner, and it's not the first time he's told yet another poor widow.But this thing is getting more and more difficult every time.It's so weird, you can get used to bloody killings, but you can never accept the death of a friend.

He looked wearily down the corridor.Salmika was watching her too, her son Jeremy asleep in her lap.Her eyes were filled with tears, and her eyes were full of instinctive rejection of the bad news she was about to hear.Apparently, she knew.But Du still had to tell her that there were still some things to say. He walked towards her, and at this moment, there was no need to hide the sadness in his eyes.Du thought of another hospital where Jerome was born one day six years ago.He remembers being in the waiting room with Malcolm, who was so nervous he threw up twice.He still remembers talking to Samika, who was shortly after giving birth.

He walked up to her.She began to shake her head desperately, hugged Jeremy even tighter, and muttered to herself, although she couldn't hear it at all, it was like a sharp knife piercing Du's heart deeply.Du really hoped that he would disappear at this moment and hide in any corner, as long as he didn't face this crying woman, his partner, his good friend—the wife of the man he failed to protect... He swallowed the tears back into his stomach, his chest churning with empty grief and angry hatred.The only thing that can firmly support him now is to try to find the instigator of the whole incident.
