Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 92

Chapter 92 

I went to a bar and stayed there from 3:00 pm till 9:00 pm, drinking the entire time. I didn’t drink much, but I drank for a long time, until my mind was blank. and my body felt empty. 

I knew the owner, so even though I was alone, I didn’t have to worry even if I got drunk. 

“When are you leaving? Do you have a ride?” the owner asked. His last name was Webb. I didn’t know his first name, since everyone only addressed him as 

Mr. Webb. 

He looked to be in his fifties. If my dad were still around, they’d be about the 

same age. 

“Now, I guess.” I didn’t really want to leave, but I still had work tomorrow and 

needed to rest earlier. 

Tonight’s drinking was my way of saying a final goodbye to my feelings for 

Chris. 

I stood up, leaning on the chair for support, but Mr. Webb stopped me. “I can’t let you leave like this. I’ll have someone take you home.” 

Mr. Webb was a thoughtful man. Despite his bar being tucked away in an alley, it had thrived for many years since most of his patrons were regulars and old 

friends. 

I started coming here back in school. I remember the first time I came here was because I saw Chris dancing with a girl who had a crush on him. Jealous and upset, I came here to drink. 

I drank too much then and almost slept through the night. By the time I woke up, I was the only one left. I was anxious and scared, but Mr. Webb made me something to eat. 

He told me to come here if I ever wanted to drink and not go anywhere else because I could end up in danger if I met bad people. 

From then on, I came here whenever I felt down. He never stopped me from drinking, letting me do as I pleased. But no matter how much I drank, he

ensured I was safe. 

I knew he once had a daughter. When she was around 16 or 17, she drank because she was heartbroken and was assaulted. 

Her mental health deteriorated after that and in the end, she committed suicide by jumping off a building. 

Mr. Webb had opened this bar to protect those heartbroken girls and provide them with a safe space to drink. 

“Alright.” I accepted because I didn’t want him to worry. 

“Then wait here. Don’t go anywhere on your own,” Mr. Webb said before turning 

around. 

“Mr. Webb.” Right then, I heard a familiar voice. 

I looked in the direction of the voice and saw Conrad walking toward me. I _chuckled. “Mr. Webb, it seems like you won’t need to have someone send me 

home anymore.” 

Conrad knew about this place too since he’d been here before. I’ve also run into him here many times. It appeared like today was no exception. 

I didn’t believe in coincidences since I knew very well that most so–called coincidences were premeditated.
