Pierce was worried.
He walked back and forth in the waiting area. Amihan's family was there too.
The doctor finally went out. By the look on his face, it was something that wasn't good.
"She needs a heart transplant. Her disease got worse and we need to find a donor in less than 24 hours until it's too late. I'm so sorry but there is nothing else that we could do."
Pierce's heart ached. He couldn't believe it.
Everything was just happening too fast.
"Is it okay to see her?" Pierce asked the doctor. The doctor looked at him and nodded. He went inside her room and once he saw her, he winced.
He couldn't stand to see her like that. He went to the side of the bed and held her hand.
Amihan's eyes opened.
"Pierce?" she weakly asked. Pierce gave her a small smile
"Yeah. It's me. Just rest, Ami. Everything's gonna be just fine, okay? Trust me." he said then kissed her forehead. His eyes stung. He could feel the tears coming.
"I love you, Amihan," he whispered. Amihan smiled before falling asleep.
Pierce left the room knowing what to do next.
