~Bob Marley
(Alexander's POV)
It's been a very long day, from the beginning down to the end. It started with the board meeting, then I had a business meeting and now I'm paying a visit to the hospital to see Julian. I meet him standing beside his bed with the aid of Maggie, although standing seems to be a bit hard they are both laughing loudly. Japhia who is at the window with his phone is first to take notice of me and he smiles broadly. He's wearing a grey polo and a black, skinny Jean.

I thought, and when I look up, I see Hassan looking intensely at me and my brows furrow in silent questioning."Are you silently praying for death then?" He asks, looking at me and his eyes not wavering.I open my mouth to say no then I realised there is no point in lying to him, he's a stranger and there is no harm in confiding in one, today is my last day here and in this world, at least I should live it as honest and as guiltless as I can."I stopped praying a few days ago, friend," I reply before getting down from the stool I've been sitting on i

She walks back to where we are and takes her seat beside Lauren.Kemi commitment to her patients is outstanding and seeing that she who only met Rogue a few weeks ago was willing to go out of her way for him makes me feel horrible and if she wasn't married, she would be the right woman for him.

The words he says are crude and difficult to accept, but they are the truth and hearing how broken Rogue was with his best friend makes me feel like a bigger villain than I thought I was."He's right though, all of this is my fault."

Vincent says and I turn my gaze to him, finally taking real notice of the old man for the first time since I came into the waiting room with Lare. He's still in his nightwear, denoting he must have had little to no time to change after getting the voicemail about Rogue's accident. He is raring full beards now and though it's white, it goes with his hair and makes him look pretty matured and it helps brings out his blue eyes which is a striking resemblance with Rogue.

It was painful almost every time she touched it, but she had to endure it if she wanted to look neat and pretty for school.
