Chapter 62

Chapter 62: Invisible Injuries Chapter 62: Invisible Injuries The receptionist, unsure of what to do, awkwardly reached into her drawer and pulled out a tissue.

She handed it over, not knowing how to comfort the woman but feeling the need to offer something.

Nurse Courage took the tissue, her hands trembling.

“Thank you,” she whispered hoarsely, still unable to stop the tears from flowing.

The receptionist, now feeling guilty, softened her tone.

“How long has he worked here?” Nurse Courage finally asked, voice raw.

Maybe, just maybe, he had lost his job after they got together and was too ashamed to tell her.

But the receptionist’s next words destroyed that thought.

“He-He’s been here for at least five years.” Another sharp stab to the heart.

Nurse Courage swallowed hard, nodded stiffly, and whispered, “Thank you.” Then, without another word, she turned around and walked away.

The receptionist watched Nurse Courage’s swaying steps, her heart still heavy with sympathy.

She couldn’t help but wonder if the woman should even be driving in her state.

But then again, if she made it here, maybe she could drive back, the receptionist reasoned quietly.

Her mind drifted back to the afternoon’s events the teenage girl and the young man who had come in earlier.

Were they here for the same reason?

Had the girl just found out her father was lying to her mother and come to confirm it?

Did she then tell her mother?

The receptionist couldn’t be sure, but something didn’t sit right with her.

As she tried to piece the puzzle together in her mind, she felt a knot of confusion tighten in her chest.

Was this woman connected to the situation at all?

Were they related?

Or was it all just a strange coincidence?
