    'Cause I will love you'Til they take my heart away‘- Til They Take My Heart Away, Clair Marlo***ELROY was confused because of what he read. Those were his wife's emails to him after the accident. It's like her daily diary. All her feelings and emotions in that email were raw. He needed to talk to her and ask about some things she said in the email. Things his parents, particularly his mother, did to her during those times. Elroy also wanted to hug her. Reading about what happened to their son, Zeus, is beyond comprehension! He knew that the loss of his son really hurt her and that he was not by her side. He wanted answers to his questions and he wanted them to come directly from her. He is also frustrated with himself! Why did his memories still not return? He is restless, knowing that she's been hurting for all these years! Heck! She's hurting even after he comes back to her! And his audacity to tell her how he wanted everything to end between them, and yet she's barely holdi

He would try to ask her friends if they had talked to her and if they knew where she was going. He talked to her friends, Pipay and Robin, and asked if they had talked to Infinity. He is also trying to hide from them that Infinity left him without bidding goodbye. "N-No, sir. The last time we talked was the other day. When she came here to submit the edited manuscript for her to be published." "Didn't she say where she was going?"

When he arrived at the said hospital, the visiting hours were over. He decided to stay at the local motel, freshen up, and go to her first thing tomorrow. When the morning came, he bought a flower basket and went straight to the hospital. She asked the front desk where her room was, and the station nurse said it was in the suite. He was in front of her door. He had been waiting for this time for a week. But he didn't know why he was agitated. 3 minutes passed when he decided to knock and open the door.

He had no idea where she could go. "Thank you, Sister." He just said this while trying to think of where his wife could go. He wasted no time and immediately left the orphanage. It had been a long drive from Manila, but he would not hesitate to return there just to find out where his wife was. "P-Paolo! Paolo!” He heard sister Mabelle shouting his name, so he immediately stopped getting in the car.
