BuzzNovelNo one knew how much thad passed before Xander finally exhaled, exhaustion etched deep in his features
as he stepped out of the room. Alessia and Cole quickly moved to either side of him, supporting him as they
made their way downstairs.
“Father, are you alright?” Alessia asked, handing him a glass of water.
Xander nodded, taking the glass and draining it in a few gulps.
“Mr. Dawson, how’s my mom?” Cole’s voice was tight, his Adam's apple bobbing as he spoke, betraying his
anxiety.
Xander rolled the empty glass between his weathered hands, avoiding Cole's gaze. After a long pause, he sighed
heavily.
Cole didn’t dare ask again, afraid he wouldn't be able to handle the answer.
Xander’s heart ached for him, but he knew struths couldn't be left unsaid.
“Cole... your mother has been lying there for two years. She's conscious, but she can’t wake up, can’t move...”
Xander’s voice faltered.
He reached out and patted Cole’s hand, his cloudy eyes glistening red with emotion. In these two years, Cole had
thought about giving up more times than he could count. And yet, each time, he'd tell himself to wait a little
longer-just a little longer. Days blurred into months, and before he realized it, two years had slipped by.
Jade had always been cheerful and kind, full of life, confidence, and gentle strength. Not just Cole, but even
Alessia believed she would wake up eventually. No one. could have imagined her husband's death would hit her
so hard-so hard that she’d lose even the will to live.
They had tried everything, the three of them, hoping for a flicker of survival in Jade’s eyes. But nothing broke
through her silence.

The room was thick with unspoken words when Cole suddenly stood up. He didn’t say a thing, just trudged
upstairs as if his soul had been sucked out, stumbling on the steps.
Alessia started after him/but Xander gently held her back. He shook his head. “Let him be with his mother for a
while. He's been running from this for two years-it's
tfor him to decide,”
Alessia bit her lip so hard she nearly drew blood. “Is there any way Ms. June could

wake up again?”
“It’s possible,” Xander replied, wiping a hand over his face, eyes fixed on the med kit on the table. “But if she
does, there's no turning back. It would be the last time
Night fell early. A low rumble of thunder gave way to a sudden, torrential rain that pounded the windows without
warning.
The house was brightly lit, but the food on the table went cold, reheated, then cold again. No one touched a bite.
Cole remained upstairs. Alessia and Xander sat frozen on the sofa, silent and unmoving, like two statues.
Suddenly, Cole rushed out, his face pale with panic.
“Father! My mom-her heart rate’s dropping again!”
Xander didn’t hesitate. Alessia kept close, hovering at his side in case he stumbled.
With trembling hands, Xander inserted the needles one by one into Jade’s skin. Cole stood by, eyes rimmed red,
not daring to blink, terrified his mother would slip away the moment he looked away.

Alessia pressed her lips together, her own tears threatening to spill.
She stroked his back, slowly and gently, again and again.
But this time, the miracle never came. When Xander looked at them, they both understood-the decision could no
