Is this the irony of fate or just a simple coincidence? Lawrence Exeter Sr. sat by the foggy window, the breath of life gone. Just a few hours ago he received a phone call from Flossie. "Mr. Exeter, Junior had collapsed and was sent to the emergency room!" His voice was mixed with panic and dismay. Lawrence's mind went blank and his phone fell to the gray-dotted white tile floor. “Dr. McCoy, is there any way to save my son?” pleaded Lawrence Exeter Sr. “Mr. Exeter, I believe you didn't know about Junior's condition over the last few months. Junior is diagnosed...” Dr. McCoy remarked. “Dr. McCoy! Patient Lawrence Exeter Junior is a flat liner!” - shouted the nurse. Mr. McCoy and Lawrence Exeter Sr. rushed to the emergency room. “Code blue! Get the emergency cart! “Load the pads to 200!” , the nurses replied. “Load them to 300. No, 360. Go Lawrence!” The doctor attempted CPR repeatedly. After an hour, the doctor announced “At 11:40 pm on July 5, 1931, Lawrence Exeter Junior died of …”* * * It was the first days of August 1903, and Lawrence Exeter opened the door of the café, greeted by a warm blanket of air that enveloped him in the rich aromas of fresh coffee and baked goods. He entered the café and closed the door behind him, as he shut out the chill of the cold autumn day. Lawrence broke into a smile when he saw Daisy. High school graduation was the last time he saw her. Lawrence secretly liked Daisy in high school. but his lack of trust prevented him from confessing his feelings. As a result, he only considered him a good friend. Lawrence smiled, remembering how Daisy had behaved: she had charmed a... paper woman... named Flossie Wentworth. Senior saw a resemblance between Flossie and Daisy. He bought her chocolates, dresses, lingerie, sportswear and boots. Tony Spagoni is a famous restaurant and Junior goes there with Flossie. He bought a diamond ring and proposed. After the engagement, Junior suffers from headaches more often and frequently. He visited the hospital and had an intracranial hematoma and can only live eight months. The same blood vessel that had burst had burst again. Junior has found the true meaning of life. It was the turning point of his life. He didn't tell Senior about his intracranial hematoma because he knew Senior had done a lot to him. Junior gave part of his inheritance to Flossie. He got married at the lawyers' office. He also wrote a will. Flossie became Mrs Lawrence Exeter Junior. Junior spent his last days with Flossie at Tony Spagoni.
