บท 121: Chapter 121: Falling

I took the rest of the day to rest and get warm. Bennett made sure to send warm tea and sandwiches to the room I was instructed to stay in. I still couldn’t believe all that had happened with Ellis and his step-mother at the hospital. It was true that there was nothing I could do.

Ellis and I weren’t married and I had no legal right to stay in the hospital by his side if he didn’t want me to. When I was alone and settled down I was able to allow the tears to fill my eyes and spill down my cheeks. None of this could be real.

How could it be that Brenda was by Ellis’s side and I was now being saved by Bennett Klein?

My heart broke as I thought about Ken. After everything he had been through in his short life, how could I tell him that his father didn’t remember us?

No, there had to be something I could do. Even if we weren’t married, there must be a way to convince Ellis that I was his fiancée.
