We leave the room. I glance behind and there's no one in site although I could here faint footsteps. Must be nights shift crew.
We walk in silence.
Half an hour later, I squat down after we checked the last of the ward room the children were kept in. My expression saddens, She's not here...
Maybe he took her to a different hospital?
I don't know what to think anymore. I close my eyes with just one thought in my head,
"I want to go home" I say out loud
Lyla leaning on the wall opposite me squats "there's no way you'd find a cab by this time, let's wait a bit till it's dawn"
But I want to go right now, I want to leave this place.
"Common let's go" she stands up and offers her hand to me.
With her help, I stand up, staggered a bit before finding my composure and standing firmly.
We return to my ward and I lay gently on the hospital bed while she sat in her former position beside the bed.
Sigh...
