Begging For A Reconciliation

In the many years treading the underbelly of the city, he had killed countless people and it was clear as day to him Regina was beyond saving.

Ron sighed and he took Leah’s hand. “Let’s take you home first, and then I’ll take care of this woman, alright?” Leah shook her head, seemingly in a daze. “No, we have to send her to the hospital. She needs treatment. She cannot die like this.”

His heart clenched in his chest looking at a crestfallen Leah. He shouldn’t feel anything by now seeing Regina dead, but he cared about Leah.

Leah couldn’t accept the fact Regina was dead. She wouldn’t allow her friend to die in front of her, especially when Regina sacrificed herself for Leah.

Ron knew he had to tell her the truth no matter how cruel it was. “She’s dead. There’s nothing a doctor can do now. If we send her to the hospital, the cops will get involved and they’ll find out about Jack and us eventually.”

He had tried his best to analyze the situation, hoping Leah would return to her senses. She was choking back tears as she mumbled, “No, she’s not dead. You’re lying. Stop lying to me!”

She wasn’t listening to him. He stepped forward to carry her in his arms. He said softly, “I’ll take good care of her body, alright?” Leah tugged at his shirt and she cried her heart out.
