Chapter 24.- "Goodbye Little Padawan"

"Mr.Wolfhard, right? ". An unknown woman called Eric as she sat next to him in the waiting room, he did not know her, but something about her seemed strangely familiar.

"Yes, it's me". He replied somewhat shyly. "Excuse me, but do we know each other?"

"I knew it ... you have the same eyes, the same eyes as Finn" . The woman offered her hand. "I am Alice, Alice Brown".

At that time they did not know, but a great friendship was about to form between them, it was funny how they had not got to know each other personally, although from how much Millie and Finn talked about them, they could say that they knew each other perfectly.

"Oh Mrs. Brown!, God... it is a pleasure to meet you, I am very sorry that they called you, I know that you must be at home resting, it is just that Millie had this little fainting and I considered it important that you know about it".

"I am much better, I thank you for calling me, Millie has neglected her health a lot, I am not surprised that this has happened, she hardly sleeps, nor does she eat healthily, to be so young she has gone through many difficult things this last month".

"The doctor said that she's fine, that she just ..."

"I know". Alice cut him off. "When I arrived immediately I asked about her state of health, they told me that she just needed some rest, it's just that ... for that, I first have to find her, I went to the room they told me about and she is not there". Alice said as she scanned every corner of the place with her eyes.

"She woke up 20 minutes ago and ran away, said she had to see Finn, but ... that's impossible. The surgery started, there's no way she could have seen him".

"Millie is a very persevering girl, I don't doubt that she has found a way to do it". Alice said making Eric laugh a little.

"Yeah, I know! ... is the same as Finn, they are a one true pair"

Alice could see Eric's smile fade, her heart ached to see the sadness on his face, she knew what it was to lose a soon, it was the most horrible thing in the world, it is not natural, the law of life is that the parents die first ... the cycle had to be like this, you had to be a child, an adult, an elderly person and then die.

When you lose your parents you are an orphan.

When you lose your husband you are a widow.

But when you lose a soon ... it is such a cruel and unnatural pain that there is not even a name to describe it, you are nothing and the emptiness stays with you forever, accompanying you.

"Mr. Wolfhard ". Alice looked him straight in the eye. "Finn is strong, he is the strongest, stubborn and full of vitality guy I know, he is going to make it, he will survive".

"Mr. Wolfhard." Alice looked him straight in the eye. "Finn is strong, he is the strongest, stubborn and full of vitality boy I know, he is going to make it, he will survive".

"I just ... I just ... I'm so scared, his chances are so small, this, it doesn't make sense, his illness, it's not even a normal illness for someone his age, if it wasn't for the help of Millie and the help from your medical record, we would not even have a diagnosis yet ".

"I know ... Millie told me everything, it seems difficult to believe, difficult to understand".

And of course it was something difficult to believe, not even Millie had managed to understand the whole background of reality, they would someday understand it, Millie in the future could tell them the whole truth, at some point in the future she would explain every detail of what It happened, she would someday, when it didn't hurt anymore ... when talking about it wouldn't hurt her anymore, when the wounds had healed ... it definitely wouldn't be soon.
