---- All I could do was smile self-deprecatingly, my voice tinged with helplessness. "Thank you for telling me. But let him go." After all, deep down, I knew- In just three more days, Melanie and I would leave this place of heartbreak for good. And yet, fate seemed determined not to let me off so easily. I never imagined that on the very day I completed Melanie's school transfer, a nightmare would strike without warning. While playing in the park, Melanie was suddenly and viciously pushed into the water by Oliver. By the time we pulled her out, she had already developed an acute reaction-her little face pale as a sheet. At that moment, I heard a deafening buzz in my head, like something had snapped. I went completely mad, carrying Melanie in my arms ---- as I dashed frantically to the hospital. At the hospital, I ran around in desperation, begging the doctors to save her. But it was then that I received a piece of devastating news. Mike had rerouted the entire city's medical resources -just to treat Oliver's allergic reaction. Staring at Melanie lying weakly on the hospital bed, barely breathing, I trembled as I dialed Mike's number over and over again, my voice choked with sobs as I pleaded with him-begged him-to save Melanie.
