Chapter 41: The Truth is Out

Achilles' Point of View:

I hung up the call in rage and left the hospital for a walk. As I was walking on the sidewalk, I saw Carlos coming back with the drink for her.

"Hey, Achilles. Your call's done?" He asked with a cheerful expression. 

Ah, crap. I really didn't want to deal with this. I just wanted a normal, fucking walk.

"Uh, yeah." I said as my eyes wandered on the street.

"What's wrong?"

Why the hell was he so good at knowing me?

"Uh, yeah something is wrong, actually but…" I exhaled. I knew I had to talk to him about it sooner or later. "You know, you should probably give that drink to her first."

"Okay. I'll–uh, I'll meet you outside the hospital in five minutes."

"Cool," I said. Great, now I can't even have a walk.

I strolled back to the hospital after two minutes and he came out after another.

"She was awake?" I instinctively asked as soon as he reached me.

"Yep. And for some reason, sad."
