Bab 29: Free At Last

Four months later.

I huddled under the covers, shivering from the cold. The thin layer blanket I pulled to my chin wasn't enough to block the chill. The cold seeped through my feet, even with my socks on, and traveled throughout my body. 

A damp towel draped on my forehead wasn't enough to ease the heat from my body. The over-the-counter medicine I bought from the drugstore wasn't working either. I had been sick since last week, but until now there was no sign that it would simply go away. I was becoming seriously concerned about my health.

Recalling the events of these past few months, all I did was stay at home after purchasing a laptop to find a temporary job while waiting for my divorce to finalize. I landed a job as a freelance writer online.
