"I..can't..breathe.", Hope
Renee abruptly stop hugging Hope.
"What was that?", she asked clearly in a tone out of displeasure.
"Oops,sorry. I think I hug you way too tightly."
Still acting like catching breath, Hope looked her wierdly but both of her eyes were emitting a sweet, warm look.
"Definitely. I thought I was gon'na die.", she said albeit, exaggeratedly.
"Come. Let's go. My son should be really worried at this point."
"Oh, okay."
It was not long after they were walking together that both of them spotted a young boy, frantically running at the other side of the street.
Renee wouldn't have minded it if she haven't noticed that Hope suddenly halted and wore a pale expression right when she saw him.
"...Is everything alright?"
"...hawk..", Hope muttered under her breath.
The boy seemed to have known her as he stopped and smiled at Hope with a look of relief.
"What?"
Before Renee could react, Hope swiftly ran and crossed the street.
A guy, in black, dressed as that of a typical thief you see in movies was dashing towards the boy. In his right hand was a knife ready to stab him.
Hope already seemed to have noticed this as she quickly shouted, " HAWK!"
Right when the boy turned his head, Hope already embraced him.
Renee, as she saw this scene, quickly went and ran across the street, towards them.
The man in black, seeing that there were many witnesses around left the knife stabbed inside Hope and tried to run away.
Hope fell down and the boy was frozen.
Renee immediately came to support Hope.
"...mom..", the boy called out with a shaking tone.
The people who witnessed the scene quickly went to help Hope.
A van stopped and drove them to the hospital.
Some also tried to run after the man in black.
As Hope lay weakly on the backseat, all she could hear were ringing and her son's small sobs.
"It's okay...my little bird.", she said weakly before passing out.

"...what in the world is happening? Is the world really intending to kill Hope?"
As she and the boy waited outside the operating room, Renee was in deep thought.
This day, Hope's life almost ended twice.
She didn't worry too much about Hope's operation, though. She isn't a doctor, but she was sure that Hope's operation would go well.
However, contrary to her thoughts, the boy beside her was really worried. His blue eyes were teary. His hands were cold and his shoulders were shaking.
Renee held the boy's freezing hands and was about to assure him when the doctor came out from the operation room with a downcast expression on her face.
The boy beside her quickly rose from his seat.
When she saw this, Renee immediately felt something was wrong.
"...Are you the patient's family?", she asked.
"Yes. The operation is already finished?", Renee also stood up.
"Well...about that...", the doctor hesitated.
"Is mom okay now?", the boy asked.
"...where's your father?", the doctor asked another question.
"...I don't. I only have mom."
"Your grandmother?..perhaps an auntie or uncle?"
"I don't know anyone else..."
The doctor turned to look at Renee and asked again, "..no guardians?"
Renee seemed to have understood what the boy meant and said, "No."
The doctor was in deep thought. "Well.."
"Can't you just tell us?" Renee said quickly.
Why is she acting like this?
....don't tell me...
"Okay. I'm so sorry to tell you but your mother..."
Hope died?!
"...did not make it.", the doctor finished.
Upon hearing this, the boy's mind went blank.
"We did the best we could, but she lost too much blood."
Renee was shocked.
Hope lost too much blood?
" What the-...What do you mean? We arrived here at the hospital and Hope was still awake on our way here.", Renee was in utter disbelief.
"You even said that the stab was not too deep and there wouldn't be any problems.", she added.
"We're sorry. " the doctor bowed down.
" You said, with no doubt, that the operation would be successful and now you say it failed?!"
What in the world is this?!
"We are really sorry."
Not long after, the boy beside Renee lost his balance.
