Hidden.

Karen also smiled at the little girl and made a cheering gesture.

The little girl smiled even more happily.

Another half hour passed;

The doctor in charge of the "client" Karen was waiting for walked out of the operating room and took off his mask:

"The patient has been rescued."

"oh!!!!!!"

"Thank God, God bless!"

"Mom, my mother, God, God..."

The customer "jumped the order",

There was no look of disappointment on Karen's face,

stand up,

I started to move my body slightly, and after sitting upright for a long time, I felt a little numb.

Since he was no longer needed, Karen turned around and prepared to leave quietly.

But at this moment,

The lights in the corridor suddenly went out.

"The power is out, the power is out!"

"Where's the backup generator!"

"Backup generator, generate electricity quickly."

The door of the little girl's operating room was pushed open, and the doctor shouted angrily:

"Generate electricity, hurry up and generate electricity, the operation is not finished yet!"

There was a little chaos in the hospital.

News came that there was a problem with the hospital's backup generator and power would not be available for a short time.

Another news came that it was the environmentally friendly girl Delise who organized a student demonstration and surrounded a thermal power plant. The students who were obsessed with environmental protection clashed with the power plant staff, which eventually led to a power outage.

Karen stood in the hallway,

He saw the little girl's father pacing back and forth anxiously while nervously signing, and the little girl's mother was sobbing;

In the operating room, doctors came in and out. From their eyes that were not covered by their masks, Karen could feel that the situation was not optimistic now.

He looked back,

He looked at the bench behind him where he had been sitting before.

He looked at the briefcase under his arm again.

He felt that he should sit back now and continue waiting;

But he was a little reluctant to sit back down at this time.

He just stood and kept standing.

The planned operation suffered a huge change and turned into a rescue operation;

As time went by, he saw that the look on the little girl's mother's face was fading away, and her eyes became hollow and numb. The little girl's father ignored the environment, took out a cigarette, wanted to light it, but kept lighting it.

It didn't work, and the lighter fell to the ground.

Karen stepped forward, took out his lighter, and helped the little girl's father light it.

"Thank you, thank you." The little girl's father thanked Karen. At the same time, he seemed to be habitually polite and asked numbly: "What do you do?"

"Medical representative."

"Oh, oh, um."

The little girl's father kept smoking heavily and staring at the door of the operating room.

Finally, the power supply came on. I don’t know if it was the power plant that resumed operation or the hospital generator that worked.

But at this moment,

The doctor came out and said to the little girl's father:

"sorry."

"No..." The little girl's mother fainted.

The little girl's father knelt on the cold tiles of the corridor.

Karen silently walked to the bench next to him and sat down.

He felt that he was used to seeing corpses at home, and he could even joke with Aunt Mary casually when he was helping Aunt Mary. He felt that he should be used to it.

But it doesn’t;

The true meaning of life and death does not lie in life, nor in death, nor in its state, but... in the process of its transformation.

The sky gradually turns to dusk.

Due to power supply problems, all the surgeries in the afternoon were canceled, and the doctor seemed to recognize "Karen's" occupation, so the body was not pushed to the morgue.

The little girl's mother was held in her arms by her father, and the two of them looked sad.

Karen just kept sitting and sitting there.

The head nurse came over, squatted down to comfort the parents, and then pointed at Karen. She was kind, at least to the Immelais family, she was.

But she mistakenly thought that Karen, a "new face" and a "young man", was shy and did not know how to proactively solicit business, so she took the initiative to introduce him.

At this time,

The little girl's father stood up and walked to Karen;

Karen raised her head and looked at his face.

"What do you do?"

Karen hesitated for a moment and replied: "Immelais Funeral Society..."

"boom!"

Karen was punched in the face and fell sideways on the bench.

"It's because of you, it's because of you that you cursed my daughter to death, cursed my daughter to death, you devils, these bastards who make dirty money!"

Karen sat up slowly, wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and continued to straighten his back, as if he was not the one who had just been beaten.

Seeing him like this, the little girl's father relaxed the second punch he was about to hit. He turned around and continued to comfort his wife.

sky,

It's starting to get darker.

Karen is still sitting here;

When he came, he came for orders, business, and money;

Now, in fact, it is no longer, it is just a list. On the premise that he is beaten, he can leave directly and his family will not say anything to him.

However, business has become a kind of responsibility at this time.

finally,

The little girl's father hugged his wife, who was leaning on his arms, and walked to Karen again;

Karen raised her head again and looked into his face;

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Karen moved her cheek that was still aching on the left side, showed a faint professional smile, opened the briefcase and took out the brochure from it and said:

"Immelais Funeral Service provides the final companionship to your family."

…

"Master, your face?"

Paul noticed the injury on Karen's face.

"fine."

Karen shook her head.

After completing the formalities at the hospital, Paul and Ron put the little girl's body into the hearse. Behind it, the little girl's parents drove their own cars to follow the hearse to Mink Street.

They have to prepare and arrange funeral arrangements for their daughter overnight, because only in this way can they still feel that their daughter is still with them, like taking their daughter to the mall to choose clothes.

Ron glanced at the car driven by the little girl's parents, licked his lips and said:

"Look, it's Santland."
