When I got to the oncology plant, Diane was waiting for me in the hallway.
His eyes were red and his arms tightly crossed over his chest.
“What happened?” I demanded to know. “Where is Aaron?”
Diane turned around and started walking.
“He crossed a line.”View telescopes
I rushed behind her.
“What does that mean?”
“Lily is a reserved person. Now everyone on this plant is talking about it.”
The anger lit inside me.
“My son shaved his head because he loves your daughter.”
“It wasn’t just that,” Diane said. “That’s what he did next.”
“Then tell me!”Biology Courses
He stopped in front of Lily’s room.
For the first time, his anger seemed to fall apart completely.
“I’ve been jealous of him,” she whispered.
I stared at her.
“What?”
“For months I’ve stayed by my daughter’s bed, trying to get her to eat, trying to make her smile and try to convince her not to give up.”
