Chapter 11~ Valerie's POV

=========

On my way home from work, I was delighted at how free I was, to leave the office without experiencing any drama from Dante.

Reaching home, I held on to my door handler to put in my home key, only for me to discover it was open.

I wondered as I murmured silently, "Who is in my house, I know is not Anna," while I stood there still in my thoughts, I saw a hockey stick close to my door, so I went close to it and grabbed it.

Having it in my hand and returning to my door, I placed my hands back on the handler and opened the door as gently as I could.

Entering my house, I tiptoed my way in with the hockey stick with me in defense if it turned out to be a thief.

Still on my tiptoeing, I went into the kitchen, and dining table, but I didn't see anyone there, I was in awe as I began questioning myself once, "Who could it be?"

Amidst my thoughts, I suddenly heard a loud noise, coming from the guest room, so I rushed there, with my defense weapon still with me

And this time I kept calm on my composure, allowing him to come close to where we were."Please doctor, how's my mother now?"I inquired as he got to where I stood."We tried everything we could but she is slow in her response which would make the recovery take some time, so she has to stay in the hospital for at least a month," the doctor explained."One month doctor!" I interjected."Is there any other way to enable her to receive her treatment at home, for a better rest because my mother hates hospitals?" I asked."There is
