That night, Merry stayed up all night. Lately, she had thought about a million possibilities why Chris didn't respond to her messages. But she never expected that the man would be in the hospital.
The young woman felt uneasy in her heart. She even started to wonder if Chris was going to die soon. If the man had only suffered from a common illness, there was no way Chris would have ignored his messages for so long. The only explanation was… he was very sick.
This realization panicked Merry. She turned over on the bed, but in the end she couldn't fall asleep at all. Merry moved into the living room of his apartment. He was curled up on the sofa, his large eyes filled with panic and anxiety.
Suddenly Merry didn't know what to do. It seemed so many things were meaningless, like her anger at Chris for leaving her. Merry couldn't understand the origin of his current mood.
