When the evening rolled in, Shirley wanted to refuse to go home, but when Corynn saw the dark circles under her eyes, she insisted that Shirley go home with her dad, as she believed they both needed to rest.

A little while later, having changed Corynn’s bandages, the nurse left, after which, Corynn got sleepy and began to doze off.

As she was on the verge of drifting off, she suddenly heard the faint sound of the door handle turning. Instantly, her mind became clear and her drowsiness vanished.

Alas, death had finally caught up with her. Giving in slowly, she found solace in the fact that her mother wast around to suffer with her.
