To sacrifice maybe is another way to love!
Katherine stays in the hospital owned by Karolina’s father. People in this hospital call him Doctor. Chen. Dr. Chen is a famous Neurosurgical authority in Brisbane. He is checking the medical record of Katherine and is discussing the worst situation of Katherine with Mrs. Lin. (Katherine’s mother). Dr. Chen says: Due to Katherine was staying in the water too long and lacking of oxygen in her brain for long time, her brain is dead. Even we use ECMO (extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation. A life sustainer) to keep her life, she will become a PVS (Persistent Vegetable State) forever. From my professional advice and from the suggestion of a best friend, I would suggest you give up resuscitating her. Mrs. Lin is very sad and doesn’t want to make this decision. She makes an international call to Katherine’s father Doctor. Lin –he is the classmate of Dr. Chen and is a Neurosurgical authority in Taiwan too. After a long discussion, Doctor Lin agrees with the advice from Dr. Chen But for a mother it’s really a heartbroken decision. She sits in the office of Dr. Chen crying for a long while. The mother of Karolina -Mrs. Chen also staying with her trying to console her.
At this moment, another ambulance arrives the emergency department of the hospital. The first aid nurse shuts DOA case! DOA case! Emergency resuscitation!
In the real world, at the Prague first hospital, Natalie, Olga and Mrs. Lin are sitting outside the operating room waiting for the doctor to finish the Neurosurgical operation for Akira. Natalie and Mrs. Lin decide to tell Olga what happened in Brisbane before. “When Olga was 18 years old before went to the Charles 1st university medicine faulty, Natalie gave her an Australia trip as a gift for getting the entrance permission of the best university in Czech. They flew to Australia and rented a car driving along the coastline to visit the beautiful cities one by one. Also Natalie took this chance to teach Olga painting at each beautiful scenery area. They enjoyed the beautiful scenery in Australia and had painted many pictures on the beaches.
On that Christmas which Katherine was drawing at the sea of GOLD COAST, Natalie and Olga were at a nearby beach painting. After finished painting, they drove under the pink clouds of sunset. On the way back to hotel, a lethal car accident happened. One truck loaded full of metal tubes driving on the opposite lane suddenly burst the front tyre then crashed into their car. Natalie was driving and listening to the music enjoying the beautiful sunset scenery. Olga was sleeping next to her. She didn’t have any time to react this sudden situation just tried to turn the steering wheel but it’s too late. After Natalie woke up, she lay on the bed in the hospital but Olga was not next to her. Even though she also seriously injured, she tried to find where the Olga is. The nurse told her, one metal tube just pierced the heart of Olga. Olga was in the heart surgery room. But her heart seriously injured, she was in a very dangerous situation. Natalie tried very hard to walk to the operating room and waiting outside. After a long while, doctor came out and told Natalie if without transplanting a heart for Olga, she will die soon. Now they only can use ECMO (Extra-Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation- A life sustainer) to keep her life for few days. Natalie busted out crying in a very helpless way and didn’t know what she could do.
At the Dr. Chen’s office, one emergency department doctor reported to Dr. Chen about this urgent situation. Dr. Chen asked Mrs. Lin: Do you want to save another girl with Katherine’s heart? You can save another life and make Katherine’s life more meaningful and last her love in this world longer time. Mrs. Lin was very hesitating to make this decision because it meant she needs to give up the life of Katherine right at that moment. She walked to see the mother of Olga- Natalie. Natalie was crying there with a broken heart. The cardiac surgeon told both of them, Olga and Katherine are in the same blood type and in a similar age, there is a very high possibility to save Olga’s life with Katherine’s heart. Natalie knees down in front the Mrs. Lin crying says: “Please save my daughter’s life, in the future she can be your daughter too. Let’s make our daughter’s lives together and longer. Please …….”Mrs. Lin feels the great love of another mother. She thinks Katherine will agree to use her heart to save another’s girl life to make her life more meaningful. Mrs. Lin wiped the tears on her face, and left up Natalie to sit on the seat and said: I can feel your love to your daughter. It’s same great love from all mothers. I agree to make our daughter’s lives together and longer. In the future, Olga is my daughter too then she signed the heat donation agreement document.
After made the decision, Mrs Lin called the father of Katherine- Dr. Lin about this decision even though Dr. Lin was very sad, he supported Mrs. Lin about this great love to Olga. After this, Mrs. Lin made another international phone call to Akira to inform him the death of Katherine. "
Akira was waiting for Katherine’s call, because it’s his birth day. He thought Katherine will call him and say happy birthday to him. When the phone was ringing, he run to the phone and said: My dear, I have been waiting for your call for long time, but it’s Mrs. Lin not Katherine. Mrs. Lin tried very hard to finish the sad sentences to tell Akira that Katherine died in an accident. After finished those hard sentences, she didn’t know what to say more. She asked Akira taking care of himeslef, crying again then hung up the phone.
Akira held the phone siting on the ground for a very long while. He couldn’t believe this fact. He went to bed pretending to sleep after a long while he sat up on the bed then told himself: “It’s just a dream! It’s just a dream! It’s just a dream! Today is my birthday. Later Katherine will call me to say happy birthday to me. She will call me later. She will call me later then went to sit next to the phone.
After a long while the phone rings, Akira picked up the phone happily. “It must be Katherine! It must be Katherine!” Akira thought in his mind. “My love, it’s you right? I am waiting for you to say happy birthday to me” Akira said on the phone. But it was Karolina. She said: “I am very very Sorry Akira, I need to inform you about a very sad accident of Katherine.” Akira didn’t want to listen. He hung up the phone shouting “NO..... …it’s not true! Katherine will call me later...”
