De Vera's POV:
 
September 10, 2022, is the day when we are supposed to meet each other again and gather at Ryle's mansion. This is also the day I became too worried and the day we all found out what Jarred was going through. It's painful for us as his friends that we don't even know anything, and we haven't even done anything for him.
 
"Ryle, go to the hospital; we're here now. Jarred was rushed here. Please don't panic. If only you could have your driver drive. I don't want you to rush here. Just tell Jonas too. Please calm down." My voice is calm and weak. In this situation, I have to ensure everyone's safety. I don't want to continue to regret my lack of attention in this group.
 
After I held the call and put my phone back in my pants, the doctor suddenly came out of the OR.
 
Saying those words again... "We did our best, but I'm really sorry. He died." My tears just fell upon hearing this. I felt the same way when I lost my grandmother. It was the most painful day for me. If it's all just a dream, I want to wake up.
 
We couldn't do anything but cry because of his loss. Ryle and the others still haven't arrived. I thought of just not telling them about it until they arrived to avoid something else happening to them.
 
It's already 3:24 p.m. when Ryle, Zed, and Jonas arrive at the hospital. When our eyes met, I immediately shook my head. Tears immediately flowed from their eyes. This is the day I regret. We all blame ourselves for what happened. If I could go back in time and make everything right, I would.
 
After two weeks, he was buried. It's hard to process all those fast events. I haven't been able to work for almost 3 weeks. Even when I went back to work, I couldn't focus. Hans was also rushed to the hospital on the fifth day after Jarred was buried because he had a high fever. Zed, who forced himself to work and help his sister because it was really necessary to end the crisis facing their company, and his and his sister's efforts were not in vain, and all went really well because their collaboration with a large company was successful. But despite this, there are traces of sadness on his face. We all can't believe it. Time flies; it seems like we were all happy recently.
 
Now, I'm afraid that it will happen again. That's...
