CHAPTER 70 The Trial Day

  Elsie's POV

  "What am I doing here?" I asked him as I shot to my feet.

  "Elsie, please sit down."

  "No, what's the time?"

  "10:48 am."

  "That's less than hours for the trial."

  If I rushed, got dressed, and grabbed my things from the office, I would be able to make it in time. It was slim but worth the effort.

  "No Elsie, you are not going."

  "Why?"

  "Because I can't lose you the way I lost him."

  What in the crazy world was he saying? Who was he talking about and how did it concern the case?

  I had never seen Albie this way, he looked distressed and for the first time since I woke, I was able to see the dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he was not sleeping well.

  "Albie, this is important, I have to be there, I have everything it takes to win."

  "I don't care about winning, I care only about you."

  "We can't do this right now, look, I'm fine and out of danger, I need to do this for Lori."
