Chapter 0104

Mary had been in the clinic for a week. While she was making good progress, there were moments when she was alone in her room or walking through the gardens where silent tears would fall. She cried quietly, trying to keep her pain to herself.

She felt so empty, and that hollow feeling refused to leave no matter how hard she tried. Walking made her legs ache, and at night, when she crawled into bed she would crumble. The week she had spent with Maximus had left a mark on her. She missed the warmth of his embrace, and even when she pulled the blanket tightly around herself to stop trembling, her heart shivered with sorrow.

“Maximus, we made vows when we got married, and you’ve broken them. You’ve disappointed me. I just want this to end. You’ve taken my soul, my heart what’s left for me to give? You have it all.

“I’ve realized that who I am, and who I’ve been, will never be enough for you. Your heart is out of my reach. Maybe you think I don’t know what you’ve done, but I do–and it’s tearing me apart. It hurts to think I may never see you again,” she said aloud, trying to release the weight crushing her heart.

The days passed quickly, and soon, three weeks had gone by. Mary was finally able to leave the clinic and begin attending periodic check–ups. While she wasn’t fully recovered, Peter had promised to stay with her for that time, and he intended to keep his word. Dr. Hill strongly encouraged her to keep attending her appointments, stressing that there was still much work to be done, though it was now in Mary’s

hands.

“Mary, you’re always welcome here. I truly hope to see you next week. And never forget–you are important! You are valuable, strong, and wise. You have an entire world ahead of you!”

“Thank you, Dr. Hill! Truly, thank you for everything promise I’ll be here next week, no excuses!”
