A few months later, Laura was able to buy a new house! She was now working for a rather famous band called Oliver Deer. Laura was very happy. But she would always take time to think about Beth and visit her in the hospital.
Beth was lying in her hospital bed. This was the worst, and according to the doctor (who was going to call Laura and inform her of the dreadful news), possibly the last day of her life.
Half an hour later, Laura was screaming at the doctor that he couldn't let it happen, and the doctor was on the phone with Rikky.
Slowly, a grin spread across the doctor's face. Slowly, Laura stopped screaming. Slowly, a tiny jolt of hope grew inside of Beth. When the doctor got off of the phone, he exclaimed, "Beth! There's hope! Your sister Rikky said she would pay for Tromedlov, and if I can keep you alive for a few more days, then there will be time for the medicine to arrive from Pakistan!"
A week later, the three sisters gathered at Beth's cottage. Rikky had forgiven her sisters because she realized that lobsters could be important but they were nothing compared to Beth. Beth was cured, and Laura didn't even have a dot of sadness.
The End
