Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 172

Addrion waved a hand nonchalantly. "I’m already happy we're all still alive and back together. As for the rest, just leave it to God!"

Ronan chuckled. "Don't talk nonsense. If we can't restore you to your former self, why go through all this trouble? Might as well have left you in Maine and let you pray to God!"

Addrion instantly wore a disgruntled expression, firing back at him. "Whoa, whoa, whoa... Ronan, stop! You are being so mean. I might not have contributed much, but do I not deserve some credit? You're being selfish, aren't you?"

"Or what?" Ronan scoffed at him, "Leave it to God? I am your God!"

I quickly intervened to smooth things over, looking at Addrion with hopeful eyes, "So, you're saying there's a chance for a full recovery?"

"No problem at all. Even though he's short of a kidney, I guarantee he'll be fit as a fiddle." Ronan interrupted, promising solemnly, "I’ve got him the best doctors and best medicines, so you don't have to worry about him."

I looked at the two men before me. Their presence was like a gift regained. I felt a sudden welling up of emotions as they were no longer the men they used to be. Unexpectedly, I felt a lump in my throat. My eyes were misty, and my smile could not be more awkward.

They both noticed my emotional shift, and their eyes, filled with confusion, were all on me.

Feeling cornered by their gazes, I smiled through my tears. "Who would have thought that we would all be so different when we met again? Life sure has a funny way of playing tricks!"

Addrion choked up. "Don't cry. Consider this a test from God. It’s more than enough that we can see each other again."

I sniffed, looking at them both. "Have you two been in contact all along?"
