"I am"
I could feel a sense of dread pass over me finally letting the conversation click in my mind.
"It's not good alpha. The cancer is back. But it's worse than before and I'm sorry to tell you I can't fix it this time. Your terminal and at the rate it's growing you only have a few months left. Maybe 2-3 I'm so sorry"
"But-but you said it was gone"
It's only then that I realise Aspen's father is standing behind me as the tears start to fall. My chest contracts painfully, it hurts. I'm never going to have a child or get married or live until we are old and grey. My life is over and I just found her. I grab my chest and heave. Caden grabs me and pulls me into a hug as I sob. He takes the phone.
"Is there nothing else you can do"
"No im sorry"
She answers him and I hear him hang up.
