Chapter 9 Dream of Anders

“Anders?” She looked up dreamily from where she had fallen asleep on the couch. The room was empty and there was no sign of her husband.

Where was he? Had something happened to him now, that she was involved unwillingly with another man?

“Anders?” She hurried from the room, rushing through the busy hospital corridors. Everyone seemed to be busy with their own work, paying no heed to her.

It didn’t seem right. Where could they have taken him? Even the life support machine was gone.

“Sherry.”

His kind voice surprised her. She stopped dead in her tracks, turning around abruptly.

Anders stood before her, looking even more youthful than how she had last seen him. He wasn’t wearing his hospital gown, but a smart CEO suit. It was as if he had returned to how he looked when they had just met. Even his hairstyle resembled that which he sported while they had first got acquainted with each other.

“Anders? You’re awake?”

He didn’t respond to her question.
