[SHORT FLASHBACK]
"And what if I do?"
"Then… there's nothing else I can do but let you go."
The lights from the television flashed on the young Lola's face as she watched a drama. However, even with the touching scene, she couldn't find herself immersed in it.
Slowly, she looked back. Her eyes landed on the sick Loren, already asleep on the bed. Lola pursed her lips and let out a shallow breath, getting up to tuck her mother in and ensure she was in the right position. After that, Lola sat in front of the television again to finish the movie.
It had always been like this, where she would watch a movie she had always wanted to watch with her mother. However, with Loren's condition, she would usually fall asleep just when the movie began. Lola couldn't blame her mother, though. Her mother was ill.
So, even if Loren nodded off, she would still watch and call it a family movie night.
Perhaps it was because of that that it had become Lola's habit.
