I'm not trying to admit my true feelings for you, yet. I just want you to know that I care for you a lot and I am worried about you.’‘What is it, you are really trying to ask me, Luke.’ Vera demanded.She knew what he was wanting to ask.She just wanted him to just spill it.Even though, she didn’t want to tell him in the first place.But now she was left with no choice.‘You haven’t had a coffee all day.

Josh hears silence and so he thought now was the best time to show.So, he lightly tapped on the door and waited for Luke to invite him in.‘Come in,’ he heard Luke’s sad and tired voice, say.Josh didn’t miss a beat and stepped straight into the room.He found the sight before him heart breaking.He saw Vera’s unconscious state, just laying there.There was no movement in her.Luke had put a washer on her forehead.And then he saw Luke.He had never seen him so broken before.He sat on the edge of the bed grasping at her hand while his body was slouched over.And if he wasn’t mistaken, he thought he saw Luke was crying.‘Luke,’ he gently said. ‘The doctor should be here soon.’‘It’s not good enough. I don’t pay him to come whenever he wants. He should have been here by now.’ Luke said. His voice cold and full
