Chapter 31

Miguel slowly pried Nelly's arms around him and pushed her aside.

 

He took Joanna's hand and led them to the car. The cameras clicked frantically following them till they got into the car, the reporters were screaming many questions, but Miguel didn't respond to any.

 

"Drive." He ordered the driver.

 

The car engine roared to life as they drove out of the hospital parking lot, leaving Nelly dejected, her face red with embarrassment.

 

The tension in the car was thick as they drove onto the highway. Joanna was still in shock that Miguel chose her instead of Nelly, she wasn't expecting him to do that.

 

They sat at both ends of the car, as far as they could from each other, the silence in the car deafening till they got home.
