The next two days were like the most crucial part of Lola's existence. She was tormented by anxiety attacks, nightmares and fear of the unknown. There were so many 'what ifs' to ponder and she dreaded the answers that crossed her thoughts.
Now and then Lola would reach out to Chelsea asking about Brian's health and well-being.
"Brian is doing all right, Lola. He has a lot of family members looking after him. It is you that I'm worried about. I need to stop tormenting your poor heart. Just give him a little time to heal and everything will be okay."
These were Chelsea's reassuring words.
However, as soothing as these words sounded, Lola was far from calm. She was emotionally drained, hopeless and on the verge of losing her sanity.
Whenever Jamal and Maureen left for their place of work, she would confine herself to her bedroom, and sometimes cry her eyes out.
