I opened my eyes and found myself on the hospital bed. I sat myself up and looked around.

Eli must have booked a VIP room. I smiled a sad smile to myself

I guess the point where I'll start fainting is here.

The doorknob rattling caught my attention and I looked at the direction. The door opened and Lexus came running in, out of breath. Rosalie behind him.

"Mom…" His face was pale and full of worry.

"Eli must have told you." I sighed, "I told him not to-"

"Why!!!? You've had cancer for four years now!! And I'm learning of this now!!?" He walked towards me and sat down on the stool next to the bed. "I know I was a bad example of a son." He looked down, distressed, "A very bad-"

I placed my hand on his, "I was a worse mother."

"No." He shook his head strongly, "It was all my fault."

I noticed Rosalie trying to leave the room to give us space.

"Rose." I called her, "Will you come here." She nodded and walked over, sitting on the edge of the bed.
