Chapter 72: Where’s the Nagging?

A brief awkwardness settled between them.

Not wanting it to linger, he quickly added, “Let me help you pack.” Nnenna caught the flicker of uncertainty in his eyes and smiled at him, not out of politeness, but appreciation.

She nodded, still smiling.

It took them just ten minutes to pack everything into a medium sized suitcase.

She had never owned much, neither in the hospital nor at the so called “home” waiting for her.

The housekeeper frowned slightly.

“Are you sure this is everything?” Nnenna simply kept smiling, her eyes clear, her posture relaxed.

Realization dawned on him.

This was really all she had.

With nothing else to check, Nnenna walked alongside the middle aged man toward the elevator.

She reached out to press the button, then froze.

Her breath caught.

Ikenna.

Her heart pounded in her chest.

She had almost left without saying goodbye.

Ever since that day, she had been avoiding Ikenna, and for what?

She couldn’t even give herself a good reason.

Now, her discharge paperwork was finalized.

There was no way Ikenna didn’t know about it.

Would he come to see her?

Would he ignore her completely?

‘He must still be mad about how I behaved…’ Guilt crept up her spine, settling heavy in her chest.

She hated how things had ended that day.

‘I should have handled it better…’ Lost in thought, she stood frozen in front of the elevator, her mind racing.
