He Gave Her My Eyes A Story of Final Sight novel Chapter 82

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up his pace and called out, “Warren, stay right here. Don’t move an inch.”

Warren flashed an “OK” sign, relieved for a break. He’d just driven all the way from Harrisburg to Silverpine, foot glued to the gas, and he was ready to collapse.

Honestly, this all came back to Carl. Three months ago, Theresia had tried to hire a private investigator in Harrisburg, but nobody would touch her case. Garry told Warren to figure something out, so after some thinking, he called up Carl.

Carl had agreed, but only just. He was the type who always did his own thing. Take this latest mess, for example. Couldn’t he have given everyone a heads up before telling Theresia what happened with Webb?

At least Theresia was okay. If anything had actually happened to her, Garry would have lost it. The thought alone made Warren shiver.

Meanwhile, Garry took Theresia for a full exam. Only when he was sure she was fine did he carry her back to the treatment room.

Earlier, when the truck came barreling toward them, she’d cut her arm trying to pull Webb out of the way. She’d been so worried about Webb that she hadn’t noticed her own injury at all.

The gash was nasty, skin split open and raw. It wasn’t until the nurse started cleaning the wound that Theresia really felt the pain.

No wonder Garry had insisted on bringing her straight here.

When he saw sweat breaking out on her forehead, Garry’s expression darkened. “If you can’t handle this, get someone who can,” he snapped at the nurse.

The nurse jumped, then shot back, “With a wound this deep, of course it’s going to hurt. If you care about your girlfriend so much, maybe keep her from getting hurt next time.”

Girlfriend?

Theresia gave a stubborn little smile. “I don’t need him to thank me. This happened because of me, so getting him out is the least I can do. He doesn’t owe me anything, and if he says no, that’s fine. But I’m not giving up.”

Garry raised an eyebrow. “So you’re okay with all this effort maybe amounting to nothing?”

Theresia looked off into the distance, her eyes going from distant to determined. “How can you know it’s a dead end if you haven’t walked the road yet?”

For a moment, she just stood there, then turned back to him.

Garry’s gaze burned into her, taking in her messy hair and bruised pride. Suddenly, he stepped forward and wrapped her up in a strong, steady hug.
