Chapter 80: Meeting Aldo - II

It seemed so real to look at. Watching her friend who was lying down on the bed unconscious and probably half-dead to the world, wrapped around in bandages Evelyn realised how short life was.

"You cannot believe it too," Cara added from behind, "I cannot believe it either. I come here several times a day to make sure that this is a reality and not a dream. . . A nightmare that I am in."

Evelyn very slowly raised her hand and touched his clothed elbow. "This is the reality." She softly Murmured. "Very true," she said to herself before turning around. 

"I am sorry," she said to Cara before pulling the tearfull woman in her arms, "this must be so, so hard for you."
