Hanni was going to die. To be exact, ten days ago, she clearly felt that she was getting closer to death. Ten days ago, when she returned home to visit her relatives and just left the airport, she fainted on the side of the road, causing a lot of panic.

Fortunately, the airport's rescue measures were proper, and Hanni was quickly sent to the hospital. When she woke up, her family had already been contacted. She didn't need to ask any questions; when she looked at her parents' red and swollen eyes, she knew and was afraid that she was sick this time. Otherwise, her parents, who had always been stable, wouldn't have been emotional. Hanni wanted to ask, but she didn't have the strength to open her mouth. Then, she fainted again, her whole body going into a coma and continuously waking up and falling asleep. Each time it occurred, she got weaker and weaker, and there were more and more medical instruments beside her bed.

By the time Hanni was in better shape, she had already entered the ICU twice, and a week had passed. It was not until then that they found out what was wrong with her.

"Miss Pham, you have a very rare hereditary disease," the doctor said sympathetically. "This genetic disease was sudden and has a low probability of occurrence. Before the onset, there were no physical abnormalities, but once the onset occurred, the body will rapidly deteriorate."

"Then... can it be cured?" After she asked, Hanni's mother on one side couldn't help but sob. Now, without the doctor's answer, she could guess.

"Sorry, there is no cure for this disease," the doctor lamented.

"I see..." Hanni's reaction was calm. She had been in a coma for the past week and wasn't completely conscious. As the owner of her body, she clearly understood her body's changes, so she was already mentally prepared.

"How much time do I have left?"

"Your organs have begun to fail. According to this speed, optimistically, maybe... five days."

During those five days, the doctors used all different kinds of famous and valuable medicines. Even if Hanni could only live one day more. Since she was destined to die, she didn't want her parents to waste money on her, but she also knew that this was the last thing her parents could do for her. If they stopped, they would only be more sad after she was gone. For the next five days, in addition to comforting her parents, she received visitors. All the relatives she didn't know and who had close blood relations with her family visited her at the hospital. It was the same pity and sympathy towards her; she was numb.

Until the fourth day, Hanni suddenly felt spirited. This sudden burst of energy made her think of bad things; her life flashed before her eyes. Couldn't she live to the fifth day?

The weak Hanni finally had the strength to move. She propped herself up on the bed to sit up, laboriously opened the drawer at the bedside to retrieve her phone. The phone had been out of battery for a long time, so she pressed the button at the bedside to call a nurse.

"Hello, do you have a charger that I can borrow?"

"I'll get you a power bank."

The socket on the bedside was filled with all kinds of instruments, and there was no space to charge Hanni's phone. She slowly checked and found that half the prompts were from work and the other half from her two best friends. She didn't read the prompts from work and just opened the messages sent by her two friends.

Danielle: Hanni, what are you doing? Did you go into seclusion to write? How come I haven't seen you for several days? Why don't you return my calls?

Hyein: Hanni, when are you coming back? When you return, remember to come and play with me. Now the entire mountain is red and full of cherries. I'm inviting you to come and eat.
