The truth?
A short gasp escaped Father Lee's lips as he staggered backwards, almost losing his footing. His eyes blinked rapidly while his mouth fell agape, and his shoulders trembled at what this destroying truth was.
This wasn't happening! His wife wasn't dying! There had to be some prank in all this. She had only passed out, and she...
He slowly turned to look at her as she lay on the bed. This wasn't real! She had just yelled at him minutes ago. His mind voice quivered as his eyes slowly turned red.
Cancer? She have cancer? How was that even possible? She had looked sick and had emaciated a little. Okay! More than a little, but he didn't for once suspect it would be as severe as cancer! What was happening? How could he not know, yet she knew? He pondered as he glanced at Eun-sun, who had her head lowered to the ground, maybe too afraid and ashamed to look at him.
"How long has this been?" His ice-cold voice came asking no one in particular.
