Way Back Into Love (Essie) novel Chapter 59

"What the hell!"

Zac cursed loudly as he took out his phone. When he looked at the caller ID on his screen, he saw that it was Leila calling him.

He was just about to hang up the phone when Essie took the phone and said, "Take the call," as she slid her fingers to answer it. She proceeded to walk away to give them some space to talk.

"Zac! I just had an accident and got injured. I'm in the hospital and I don't know anyone else from this city. I'm scared. Can you please come over?"

Zac was silent for a few moments, before he finally said, "Okay."

Upon she heard what Zac said, Essie's heart sank with disappointment and utter dejection. She suddenly felt a hint of regret that she picked up the phone.

"I'll be back as soon as I can." He stroked her hair feeling a bit disheartened. He was unsure if his actions made her feel any better but he also didn't have the time to console her.

Essie faced away and pursed her lips together. Her anxieties caused her to wonder if he would even come back after being called by his ex-lover.

After Zac walked away and left, the rooftop suddenly felt unusually quiet. The silence left her with a heavy sense of discomfort while the loneliness crept up to her spine, making her feel like the only person left in the world.

As she stood on the rooftop in the middle of the city, she stared up towards the dark eerie sky. The stars were blinking and were especially bright contrasted from noise from the chaotic streets. However, all of this only triggered her loneliness even more.

'If Zac finds himself a girlfriend, will he still have time for me in the future?'

After having spent so much time alone, having another man's presence was overwhelming and noisy. However, now that she had been used to living with Zac, she started to feel lonely whenever she was alone.

She released a deep sigh and tried to push her thoughts away. She decided to take some photos of the hot pot that was on the table to post on her social media.

After a few moments, her phone beeped. She received a reply from Hanson which said, "It sucks that I'm bed ridden in the hospital. Otherwise, I would have gone straight there to eat with you."

Essie's eyes widened as she put her hands over her mouth.

'His wedding was coming in a few days. How could he end up in the hospital?

Was this for real?'

she thought anxiously as she paced back and forth in the garden. Essie wondered if it would be a good idea to give him a call and ask if he was okay, but didn't have the courage to dial his number.

While riddled with thoughts, her phone beeped once again. Hanson sent another message asking, "Would you care to take a visit?"
