Chapter 144

When Tessa got the call from Yanis, she had just left the hospital.

The temperature outside was just a few degrees below freezing. She got into her car and turned on the heater before answering the call from an unfamiliar number. "Hello?"

Yanis' voice was desperate. "Tessa, please, can you come to the hospital and see Zachary? He tried to kill himself because of you. The doctors barely saved him, but they say he has no will to live.

"I was wrong before, and I'm sorry. But please, can you help him? He is my only son!"

Tessa was stunned. "What do you mean by killing himself?"

She just couldn't make sense of it-suicide and Zachary didn't belong in the same sentence. He wasn't the kind of person who would ever do something like that.

Yanis sobbed uncontrollably. She forced herself to calm down and asked, "Did Zachary come to see you last night?"

Tessa replied, "Yeah."

Yanis burst into tears again. "He collapsed in the snow that night. When I visited him in the hospital today, I caught him trying to end his life by slitting his wrists! What did you do to him? Why would he do this?"
