Chapter One hundred seventy-two: Something is off

LUKE's POV:

"Dude,"

I was stopped from opening the door of my car when I heard Dale's voice behind me. I closed it with a heavy sigh before turning to him.

"What happened?" he asked, patting me on the shoulder.

"She didn't believe me," I replied, letting out another long, deep sigh.

"She didn't--- but why? Do you want me to talk to her?"

"No, bro, thanks, but no, please, I don't want her to get a wrong impression when you talk to her because she might for sure ask why so suddenly you turned to my side." I hardly shook my head as I talk to him.

"Ohh... so you mean, you didn't tell her the truth that you had an accident in Saudi Arabia and you stayed in the hospital for almost a month, so you haven't been able to call her for the past few months?"

"No," I shook my head again.
