Episode 14
It was Damien's final exam today
Which will start at around 9 am
Damien couldn't sleep, he had bags under his eyes.
Damien Caspers (ML)
*rubbing his eyes
The doctor stood and gazed at him, a little surprised that he was still there
The doctor noticed that Damien was holding a bag of medicine. He already bought them.
Doctor
(those medicines are strong...but also expensive)
Doctor
(could he afford it?)
Doctor
(he looks like a student to me)
The doctor then walked into his mother's ward and noticed that his mother was awake
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*turned his eyes to him tiredly
Doctor
Madame, you are awake now?
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*quiet
Doctor
I will have a brief checkup and then I will let your son in
when he mentioned her son, Aurora tried to sit up
Doctor
Please lie back down, Madame
Doctor
I don't advise you to move too much for today
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
... *lay down on the bed reluctantly
the doctor checked up on her and nodded
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
My son...
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
I want to see him
Doctor
I will let you have a word with him
Once the doctor came out, he looked at Damien
Doctor
You can come in, but not for more than 30 minutes
Damien quickly stood up from the bench and rushed to his mother
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom *sat down on the floor beside her bed
Damien took her hand in his while Aurora gave him a weak smile
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*caressed his hair lovingly
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
so sorry to bother you
Damien Caspers (ML)
*shook his head while holding her hand tightly
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom, it's nothing
Damien Caspers (ML)
I will do anything if it means you will recover
Aurora closed her eyes for a second
The doctor had told her that her days were numbered
The medicine can only prolong her life for a few years, but not more than that
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*eyes getting teary
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom, mom... everything is okay
Damien Caspers (ML)
I bought the medications the doctor prescribed you
Damien Caspers (ML)
You will get well soon *smiled
His dimples showed on his face and Aurora had no strength to tell him that she will soon pass away
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(he will not be able to bear my death...)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(who will look after him once I go away?)
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
(who will make him smile after I leave?)
Aurora's eyes finally let the tears drip down her face while Damien looked even more concerned
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom... what's making you cry like this?
Damien Caspers (ML)
don't worry about money, okay?
Damien Caspers (ML)
I will find a job and you don't have to work or ask anyone for money
Aurora couldn't help but feel guilty...
Her son had been accepted to so many universities, yet he rejected all of them...
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
Damien, you don't have to do this for me...
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
You need to stu-
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom, we have already talked about this...
Damien Caspers (ML)
I won't go into any university until you fully recover
Damien Caspers (ML)
We need the money, right?
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
...don't waste it on me
Damien Caspers (ML)
I am not wasting!
Aurora closed her eyes once again. Telling him the truth would be painful for him...
It would break him completely
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
...what date is it today?
Damien Caspers (ML)
15 June
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*eyes widened
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
your...your final exam
Damien Caspers (ML)
Mom, I still have 3 hours left
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
Go
Damien Caspers (ML)
But you haven't eate-
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
Have some sleep! *looking at his heavy eyebags
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
And go to your exam!
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
No buts!
Damien stood by her side, not moving an inch
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
*glaring at him
Aurora Caspers (ML's Mom)
Did you not understand what I said?💀
Her voice brought on a cold, domineering tone and Damien flinched
Damien Caspers (ML)
I will do as you say, Mother
Damien stood up and bowed slightly
Then rushed out in a hurry
