Sebastian's POV 

I stood by my door waiting to hear the soft knock from her. Just like last time where she will come over to my place. 

When I heard a soft knock, I opened the door immediately. There she was, like an angel. As soon as my eyes made contact with her soft hazel brown eyes, i found myself smiling. And she too, smiled. 

She ran up to me and gave me a tight hug. Her head buried deep in my chest. 

Sorry to hurt you, Tess. 

"Don't go." She murmured into my chest. 

It's not my decision. It is Heaven's will. 

Of course I didn't said that to her. I only held her in my arm, and hugged her. Today might be the very very last day. My operation is next month. Chemotherapy is happening soon, and that will means the loss of hair. And I will never ever let Tess go through all these with me. 

She hold my hand and pulled me in to bed. She pulled her knees close to her chest, as I cuddled her. Her eyes was close as she lean on my chest. Her breathing getting heavier. 

When I make sure she have fallen asleep, I began to tell her about my cancer. 

Gillian's POV 

I woke up seeing the living room's light on. Who will be up at this hour? Brother? 

I quietly took my bamboo stick and crept out. A heaved a sigh of relieve escaped from my mouth when I saw Brother standing near the door. 

Many questions crowded my mind. Who is he waiting for her? Will it be Tess? Don't tell me he's cheating on Tess, and there's a third party please. 

Whatever it is, I continued to watched, and I'll know the answer. 

To my surprise, it was Tess. I smiled the moment they hugged. Are they finally back together? As soon as they made way back to the corridor, I quickly ran back to my room. 

I didn't meant to eve drop, but a little eve dropping wouldn't hurt right? I walked over to my brother's room and lay my head heavily against the door. Trying to hear as much things as possible. 

"Tess, there are some things that you just don't know. Sometimes there are just things that nobody will have thought will happened, and it happened anyway." Sebastian begin with his voice soft and slow. "I'm suffering from Liver Cancer. I may or may not live. Whatever I'm doing to myself, I will have a risk.". 

I covered my mouth as soon as I heard what Seb had said. Tears were falling down my cheeks. Why were there no sound at all? No reply from Tess. Is she asleep?

I stopped eve dropping and ran back to my room crying. I've lost my parents since young. This is not a time to lose my one and only brother. I've lost Tess too. No.... What's happening to my life? 

Tess's POV 

I heard every word he have said. Did he forgot that I am a light sleeper? 

I tried as hard as I could to hold back my tears. Liver cancer. Chemo starts tomorrow and operation starts next month. Now I know, he just didn't want me to get hurt. And his hurt me more. </pre>
