But Mark was still alive. He had lived two months longer than the doctor predicted.
Peter was standing behind him with a glass of water and medicine in his hand.

After she was done, Mark looked sideways at the tubes.
Slowly, his grip on his phone got weaker and weaker until he finally fell asleep.
It was rare for Mark to fall asleep nowadays. This time, he had a dream and it was about Cecilia.
He dreamed of the hospital where Rena gave birth to Alexis. He dreamed that he was still strong and that Cecilia was still young.
