Book3 Chapter7.
On the third day after I arrived, I ended up in the hospital. When I woke up, it was evening, and a group of people, including Detective Parker and Ethan Harris, were gathered around my bed.
I didn't have the strength to speak. Jessica was saying a lot, her eyes filled with tears.
I saw someone comforting her with a gentle pat on the back before I closed my eyes again.
The next time I woke up, it was early morning, and the room was dark.
The first thing I did was reach for my hair. In the darkness, someone gently pulled my hand down and adjusted my hair. Then I felt a warm tear fall on the back of my hand, and the person on the bed beside me let out a small sob.
"When did it happen?"
I looked at the shadowy figure and sighed. "About six months ago."
"Why didn't you tell anyone?"
I patted her arm. "It's not all bad. This illness feels like a release for me."
"I'm so sorry, truly sorry. I didn't know you were sick. I was so guarded, thinking you were just trying to get close to Ethan."
I patted Grace's hand. "You didn't do anything wrong. My intentions weren't exactly pure. After all, it's Ethan Harris we're talking about -the man I loved for ten years, the man I almost married. Of course I wanted to fight for him."
The pain in my stomach flared up again. I held my breath, waiting for it to subside before I could speak. "If it weren't for this illness, I really would have made a scene.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to let go."
Grace's soft crying made my heart ache. "Are you sure you don't want to tell him?
There's still a chance, Sienna."
Her sudden change of heart caught me off guard. I blinked hard, trying to keep the tears from falling. No matter how much I didn't want to, I knew I had to accept it.
