Oliver Winslow also left, watching as John Fame's car sped away and out of sight. Instead of rushing to the hospital, he returned home.
He had to distance himself from John Fame, prevent the awkwardness caused by spending too much time together, and avoid them both appearing in front of an awakened Lissy Lock at the same time.
Lissy Lock would also feel awkward.
Moreover, he had some things to do.
Lissy Lock didn't simply take two bullets. She didn't suffer in vain.
When it was about time for John Fame to leave, Oliver Winslow thought, he would visit Lissy Lock in the hospital.
After all, John Fame was her husband, while he, to Lissy Lock now, was no more than the neighbor who liked her and pursued her.
Aside from that, there was nothing special about him anymore.
The love of childhood sweethearts was the purest love in the world, but it was slowly forgotten with the passage of time.
Lissy Lock felt really tired and in pain.
