Capítulo 86: What did I just do?

Amelia Forbes

I sat fidgeting in the waiting room. It'd been three hours since we arrived at the hospital and everyone was seated, quietly.

The truck driver had given a clear description of what had transpired. No one said a word.

Tears flowed down my cheeks.

He has attempted suicide.

The thought broke me down more than I thought it could. I felt sad, guilty. I blamed myself for pushing him out in the rain and saying such hard words to him.

I guessed those few weeks had put him into some deep state of depression. He was in such a state that he had seen suicide as the only option. It was then that I realized that he'd been honest the whole time.

He'd been sincere. All the effort he'd been putting.

I stifled a sob.

What if something happened to him?

My heart pounded in my chest.

What would I do? I couldn't take care of a child alone. I couldn't...

And he was so good with her. He'd be such a good dad. I couldn't... I couldn't lose him.
