Jerlina watched the jeep leave the clinic. Wiping the tears clouding her eyes she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
What did he mean by I don't mean what I say?
I meant every word!
What should I do? He doesn't want me anymore…
Rather than to her heart that was hurting like it was getting ground in a millstone, her hands subconsciously ended up on her abdomen. Her arms hurt and her abdomen felt tight.
No good… It's no good…
She bowed her head thinking of her next step.
"Jerlina…" she heard Dr. Kruger from behind her. Her voice was soft and was filled with concern.
Jerlina didn't want to deal with anything right now. She was angry that Dr. Kruger hid that report from her for a long time. But then at least she threw away her ethics as a doctor and refused to help Emma. She shouldn't be feeling happy about that but she was happy Jeremy's mom clearly took her side in this issue.
