As years past by, Nora became very successful and she got the fame that she always wanted. She wrote to Christine and told her that she's been doing very well. Meanwhile, Torvald was unhappy and very depressed about Nora leaving him. He asked Christine how Nora was doing, and the word "great" was used. He was happy for her to find something that she enjoyed doing, but he was still miserable because she left him. Torvald pondered nights and days wishing so much for Nora to be at his side. Lately, Torvald had been drinking a lot, slacking off in his job, and paid no attention to his children. As weeks past by, Torvald got weak and tried. He became very ill. His body got very swollen and hardened. The doctor said he wasn't sure what kind of disease he has, but he knew his heart could explode anytime. This sickness was severe and he could die anytime soon. Torvald contacted Christine about his terrifying news. He wanted Christine to tell Nora that he was dying and he will always care about her no matter what happens. When Nora heard about Torvald's news, she was shocked and scared. Torvald wanted very much to see Nora one last before he go. Nora immediately flew over to see him. When she entered into his room, she saw Torvald lying in his bed lifelessly. "Torvald!" Nora cried out. She rushed to his bed and leaned beside him. Nora sobbed and sobbed. Torvald tilted his head slowly to Nora and looked into her teary eyes. Torvald spoke quietly and softly, "I'm so glad you're here. When I'm gone..." Nora interrupted, "Please don't say that." Tovald said, "Take good care of our children. I know you can do it. I will always keep you in my heart. Farewell, my love." His eyes closed and his head titled away slowly. Nora shook him begging for him to wakeup, "Torvald, no! Please wakeup!" Nora spoke out softly, "I'm so sorry." She then lay beside him.
