Chapter 6 - Valerie's Secret

Two days later...

Valerie walked into my hospital room.

She looked pale.

Ashamed.

She stood in silence before speaking.

"I didn't know."

I looked at her without emotion.

"What didn't you know?"

She burst into tears.

"I thought he'd already rescued you."

"I begged him to go back."

"He told me..."

"He told me you were already outside."

The room fell silent.

Valerie wiped her face.

"I believed him."

She reached into her purse.

"There are messages."

"I think you deserve to see them."

My hands froze.

The oldest message was sent six months earlier.

I never stopped loving you.

May you like

From Alex.
