Chapter 47 Amelia

Alexander lounged outside the hospital's balcony with a cigarette in hand, he had quit smoking years back but now he'd felt the urgent need for a smoke and knew he just had to get one. It was three days after Belle had gone missing and there was still so relevant?news about her whereabouts, he was going crazy, Kelly wasn't eating, sleeping, or doing anything for that matter, she simply just stared blankly with a look of emptiness in her eyes, it was as though she had cried so much, she had more tears to shed and it hurt his heart deeply, he felt her pain as raw as he would his own, it was how much he cared about her.
