Struggle

"We are terribly sorry, Miss, we have tried our best. Your husband.." The doctor trails off, a grim look taking over his face, "There is nothing else that we can do."

"What is this guy talking about?? C'mon, let's just play againnnn" Xander tugs on one of Yvie's sleeves, eager to continue their game of hide and seek. He's sure Yvie won't find him this time, he has the best hiding spot ever!

"Just a minute, okay, Xander.? I need to talk to this doctor about something important." Yvie answers patiently, though her tiredness is clear in her voice.

Xander pouts, crossing his arms in front of his chest. He wants to play and he wants to play now! But after thinking it through again,,, this will give him more time to think of a better hiding spot. Alright, maybe he'll tolerate it this time.

"Fine. But promise that we will play again later?" Xander says, holding out his pinky finger. Pinky promises are very important to him, it's even more powerful than an oath.

Yvie gives him a small tired smile with tears glistening in her eyes and laces her pinky around his, "Promise"

With that, Xander runs and plops down on the chair in front of the TV and starts his plotting. 'Can I hide behind that curtain..? Maybe.. What about behind the door? That would be a preeeettty good hiding place seeing how...'

The doctor is looking at her with pity in his eyes, he truly feels bad for her. Something like this isn't easy to go through, he's aware of that. What is she going to tell her children..? They're too young to understand something like.. This.

"It can't be true, doctor... There's got to be something..! I-is there really nothing you haven't tried, doctor..? Nothing you can do..?" Yvie sounds all around very desperate, her defense crumbling apart once Xander is out of hearing distance. She has every right to be this way, the things she's going through.. Anyone would want a way out of this.

"I'm afraid not, Miss.. We're terribly sorry.." The doctor bows his head down, avoiding Yvie's hopeful eyes. It's these moments that he considers the worst part of being a doctor: bringing the bad news.

Hey!! Bea here. I'm trying to make something a bit.. Different. Don't know if it will work, playing with fire here. But I really think this story would be quite interesting. If there is any grammatical errors or typos in any point of the story -or logical flaw- please point it out so I could improve the quality of my story

Thank you so much for being here 💕💕💕 Bea out ✌
