A long silence stretched between them before he finally spoke. "What about that new drug you mentioned before?" "That drug is still in the clinical trial phase, and only the pharmaceutical company running the trials has access to it. Until it's officially approved, our hospital can't administer it." The doctor's words landed like a death sentence.

"If she could get into the clinical trial... would there still be a chance?" "In theory, yes. But there are no guarantees." Huey clenched his fists. "Even if there's just a sliver of hope, I won't give up." Watching Myrna slip away was something he refused to accept.
The thought alone was unbearable.
After speaking with the doctor, Huey returned to find that Rachel had already left.

Seeing her sleeping peacefully and looking relatively stable, she finally felt at ease and returned to her own hospital room.
But as she walked away, her mind stayed on Huey. She didn't think he had entirely ignored the idea of m photos in their wedding outfits.
