Kapitel 64: Chapter Fifty-Four

ERWIN

"Where is Leo, Ruth?" I ask, my voice is not showing any hint of the disaster that my innards are going through.

"I don't know." Ruth recites, his voice bland as he wraps my ankle. This is the twenty-sixth time I have asked him since he got here half an hour ago and his answer remains the same every single fucking time.

"You are lying." I seethe.

"I am not goddamned lying, Erwin." Ruth snaps, "I have no fucking idea where Leo run off to from hospital a week ago. Even Kevin doesn't know anything about it."

"Why?" My voice wobbles, "Why did he leave me? What did I do wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong," Ruth shakes his head helplessly as he is done with wrapping my leg, "it's his faith. He can't love anyone. His love will only bring misfortune to him and his loved ones."
