"Miss Manoban?" the male doctor called. Lisa stood up and followed the doctor to the room. Lying on the bed was Jennie, fast asleep. "What I am about to tell you can be a shock. But please understand that there is nothing much
we can do..." the doctor spoke softly. Lisa embraced herself for the news. "Your girlfriend...I'm afraid...does not have much time left....she has cancer...it is very serious". The doctor's words felt like many knives piercing through Lisa's heart. Why hadn't she brought Jennie to the doctor before?? Why had she succumbed to Jennie's assurances??? It was too late now. Lisa walked towards Jennie with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry my Jendeukie....I'm sorry I waited...I could have saved you" Lisa whispered as tears streamed down her face.
*i'm not crying...(guilty as charged)*
