Evan was slightly frozen, "You said... Avery was... dead?"
"Yes, Andrew was in the same car back from the cemetery. In the car accident, Andrew died protecting Avery."
Evan felt his shoulders stiff. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
The demise of life was just in a second.
He died protecting his woman. Evan didn't know what to say.
The operation took 10 hours from day tonight. The notice was given to Evan. The nurse reminded him gently if the operation couldn't bring Avery back; he had to start arranging the funeral.
There were patients, hospital staff, and visitors coming through the floor. They didn't know who was in the emergency room. But they all saw a man, guarded by a security team, staring at the light of the emergency room like a statue.
Evan stood there, feeling he was in a nightmare from which he would never wake up.
He closed his eyes and frazzled. His body and his heart got cold as time went on.
