Chapter 50 ~ A shock

ATHENA

Two months later....

"I've been so ashamed to visit you. I'm sorry it took me so long!" Mira, hold my hands, and I hold hers back.

"It wasn't your fault." I smile at her, but she shakes her head.

"It was. I shouldn't have left you alone for so long." Tears well in her eyes, and I laugh.

There must have been a reason why I wanted to be a doctor. I just know it.
