During the three years I was in a coma, a girl was often with Theo Peay. Everyone whispered that he had moved on. But only I knew the truth. He sought that girl's bone marrow to save my life. Later, however, he kept postponing my surgery, and doubt began to creep in. It wasn't until I fainted again that he spoke, his voice calm and distant. "Elaine is afraid of pain. I can't bear to see her suffer. But don't worry. I'll find someone else to save you." The girl ran into his arms, sobbing. Theo didn't give me a chance to speak. He held her and walked away. That day, I watched his retreating figure and whispered a quiet farewell.
