Chapter 5 - Book 5: The Hospital

‎Lisa sat beside Kara, holding her hand. "Kara, you called with your frail voice, 'I need water.'"

‎Kara opened her eyes, and Lisa handed her a glass of water. "Kara, you're awake. How are you feeling?"

‎"I'm fine, Lisa," Kara replied, her voice still weak.

‎Lisa smiled. "Stop that, Kara. Don't think of leaving me. Your not going anywhere."

‎Kara smiled faintly. "I'm not going anywhere, Lisa."

‎Lisa hugged her tightly. "Are you hungry, Kara? What would you like to eat?"

‎Kara shook her head. "I'm not hungry."

‎Lisa's expression turned serious. "Kara, I'm worried about you. I hate seeing you like this."

‎Kara's eyes welled up with tears. "I just want to leave the hospital." I can't take been on this bed it makes me feel worthless and depressed.

‎"Okay, love. Just a minute. Let me get the discharge ready," Lisa said.

‎Meanwhile, Anthony stood outside the hospital room, his eyes fixed on Kara through the door. Lisa noticed him and approached him angrily.

‎"Why are you still here? I thought I told you to leave and not show your face here," Lisa said. She doesn't want to see your face, tou don't deserve her.

‎Anthony's voice was laced with desperation. "Lisa, please just one glance, and I'm out. Please, for the last time." I won't bother her anymore, please.

‎Lisa's expression softened slightly. "Okay, fine. Do not step in. Just a glance from here." I wouldn't want her getting admitted again.

‎Anthony leaned against the door, his eyes locked on Kara's pale face. He muttered an apology. "I'm so sorry, Kara, for the pain I caused you. Please be happy."

‎Lisa's voice was cold. "Of course, she'll be happy. I'll make sure of that. Now leave and never come back looking for her."

‎Anthony took one more glance at Kara before turning and walking away, feeling dejected. This is all his fault, why did he leave Kara for Celine,? why?.
