CHAPTER 165

A few minutes back in time.

Nolan was still yet to open his eyes. Dorothy fingerpicked his favorite melody with a guitar, but that didn’t seem to work. Once the song ended, tears overflowed as her heart spoke to him in silence.

He soon opened his eyes and disrobed the gloom off his wife’s face. There were no bounds to her joy from seeing her husband come back to life from a near death situation.

Nolan tried to speak, but he found it hard to move his jaw. “Where… am… 1?” He didn’t seem to remember what had happened before the accident, at least not yet.

“In a guest room,” she replied, wiping her tears away. “You don’t remember falling from the balcony?”

“Balcony…” as seconds passed, what had happened with George flashed in his mind like the fastest poison out there and stung his soul sharper and deeper than any sword ever could. And he started crying like a baby.

She thought he was crying because of the situation his body was in, but she had no idea that it was the sense of emptiness suddenly penetrating the depths of Nolan’s heart the reason for his heart-racking suffering.

“It’s going to be okay, dear,” Dorothy comforted him like a mother would a child. “I’m here, aren’t I?”

It took very many seconds for Nolan to come out of his misery. Dorothy then announced to everyone that Nolan had come to his senses. Everyone in the villa, even the maids, came rushing to see him.

George didn’t come, as he had expected. Nevertheless, seeing the rest gather around him, Nolan’s eyes teared up again. He felt grateful for their presence, even though he had been surly independent in this family. Their smiles were like light splintering the darkness soaring in his heart.

“You’ve walked through the valley of death and come out triumphantly. The worst is now behind you, Nolan,” Jason grabbed one of Nolan’s hands. “We all wish you a speedy recovery, and we’ll help you however we can.”

The others also gave their wishes. It felt good to hear even the children wishing for his recovery,

Soon, everyone left the room. Dorothy also wanted him to sleep, so she also left, leaving Nolan alone in this room.

His heart began to feel empty like the silence in the room. Surely, he was alive. His heart was still beating. His eyes were still open. His gut was doing its job, too, but he didn’t feel the worth of his existence right now.

Even though it was peaceful around him, his soul couldn’t be at peace.
