After several weeks, Emily woke up from her comatose state. She found Will lying asleep beside her. She smiled and touched him gently.
Will woke up and exclaimed, "Emily! You're finally awake. I'll go call the doctor."
The doctor came and checked on her, "Congratulations. You are out of your comatose state. Your fianc truly loves you."
Emily looked at him, confused, "Huh? What do you mean?"
The nurse wiped a tear away and said, "During the operation, your heart failed. We needed to give you a heart transplant immediately, but there was no donor available. Your fianc, Frank, agreed to give you his heart without hesitation. That's how you survived."
Emily spluttered, "S-so he's?"
The nurse nodded sadly, "Dead."
Will said with tears in his eyes, "Frank told me not to tell you this, but I can't. You have the right to know."
So, Will told Emily the truth.
After Emily heard this, she burst out crying painfully for hours.
After Emily finished crying, she wiped her tears away and smiled.
Will asked, "Is something wrong?"
Emily smiled happily and sweetly, "Frank is not dead. He gave me his heart. He'll always be alive in my heart."
Emily heard her (Frank's) heart say, "I love you."
"True love is forever, unconditional, and sacrifice. Too many people think of their 'crush' as true love. True love only occurs once in a lifetime and not everyone is fortunate enough to experience it."
